The influencer and comedian Abejas Memes spoke again about his professional relationship with Eduardo Antonio, known as El Divo de Placetas, during an interview with Adrián Fernández, and once again sparked mixed opinions.
It all started when a user commented that El Divo had reached out to him, and in return, he ended up speaking poorly of the singer in order to gain likes in an interview with Alexander Otaola.
Abejas Memes responded with irony: “El Divo's hand doesn't reach South Africa”. Clearly upset, he clarified that his career started long before he met the artist.
Let's clear this up right now, I started in South Africa, and from South Africa I was Abejas Memes. The Divo hasn't helped me at all (…) No one reached out to me, I started alone from South Africa, from the ass-end of the world, I made it on my own, just me, alone, and I continue to be alone, so please stop with those comments,” he emphasized.
The comedian also joked about his collaboration with the singer: “The Divo of Placetas only showed up now that I made him the father of Carlitos, but suddenly Carlitos could end up orphaned and we’re done with that. I can’t handle this gossip here anymore, they warned me, don’t go to Miami.”
When asked how the collaboration with El Divo came about, Abejas Memes added: "Because he asked me, he said 'what if I’m Carlitos’ dad', and I said 'sure, why not?', but El Divo didn't give me any support, he didn't make me famous, or anything like that.” Abejas Memes emphasized that he has built his career on his own: “I made myself South Africa.”
Although he acknowledged that they both have good chemistry, he wanted to distance himself in professional terms: “People think that Eduardo Antonio made me, Eduardo Antonio is an artist and I am an influencer, comedian, who takes jabs at the dictatorship in Cuba.”
Meanwhile, El Divo limited himself to sharing excerpts from the interview on his Instagram account along with the promotion for his upcoming show on October 26 at El Rey del Lechón, where Abejas Memes is one of the guests.
On social media, the followers of both artists were split between support and criticism. Some messages pointed out that the controversy seems to be provoking conflict between the two: “It seems like they want them to fight”; “But why are they doing this? They’re pushing them to clash; I love both of them, I hope this young man, being younger, doesn't let himself be influenced in a way that destroys what they have, and stops giving interviews”; “This type of interview isn't constructive. Both are talented; each has their own value and career. What’s important is to focus on the positive”; “What they're trying to create is discord between you; don’t fall for it, you both work well together and El Divo is a wonderful person”; “My Divo, but you have been a Star with your music all your life. Amed is very young and doesn't know how to handle these snakes in Miami”; “He isn't prepared for interviews; wherever he goes, they will ask him the same thing, and he ends up saying things that don't make him look good.”
