Alexander Otaola reacted to the arrival in Miami of the influencer Iván Valdés Permuy, known as "Listillo cubano", after a video circulated showing him in a liquor store in Hialeah.

“They found him in a liquor store in Hialeah,” Otaola said, showing the video in which a Cuban films Listillo inside a liquor store. In the brief “interview,” the young man claims that he traveled to Miami “for a visit, for tourism.”

However, Otaola questioned that account and expressed his suspicions about how the influencer might have obtained his visa.

“Tourism, nothing. Clever one, I think you came here to stay. They gave you the visa in Spain because you are Cuban-Spanish and you were there, but I don't know how they granted you the visa because Cuban-European citizens have to stay two years without going to Cuba,” commented the host on his show Hola Otaola on Tuesday, December 2.

Otaola does not believe that the Cuban trickster meets the visa requirements, as he has recently published several videos filmed in Cuba.

"It's hard to believe he hasn't been to Cuba in two years, especially since he has recorded street interviews there," Otaola stated, adding with a laugh, "They must have sorted out his visa in Spain. Hey, what's going on with that embassy! I need to call to warn that this might be happening."

Otaola's comment has sparked debate on social media, where followers are discussing whether the Cuban Listillo actually traveled for tourism or if he intends to settle in the United States.
