The rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was in the spotlight again this weekend, but this time not for a controversy, but for his presence at the concert of Oniel Bebeshito, held at the Kia Center in Orlando, where the Cuban concluded his successful tour 22 Caminos.
During the show, the American artist took the stage to join Bebeshito, and after the event, he posted a message on Instagram that lit up social media. “The best thing Cuba has”, he wrote alongside a video of the concert, where he also defines himself as “the only one who can jump from English to Spanish and excel in both” and describes himself as “unstoppable.”
The post, which has received over 70,000 reactions, was interpreted as a gesture of respect towards Bebeshito, who has established himself as one of the most significant figures in the Cuban cast. The exchange between the two artists sparked a wave of comments celebrating international recognition of the genre.
But Tekashi didn't only draw attention on stage. From the stands, he was spotted with his Cuban girlfriend, Alida, and Alter, enjoying the show. In videos shared by pages like La Familia Cubana, they are seen dancing together, playful and smiling, while singing along to the singer's songs. Their presence stole some of the spotlight of the night, sparking comments among attendees and fans of the rapper.
The event, which also featured artists like L’Kimii and JLexis, became a meeting point for the Cuban community in exile and a grand finale for Bebeshito's musical year.
This concert also marks one of Tekashi's last public events before his upcoming imprisonment, scheduled for January, following the legal proceedings he faces in the United States. Nevertheless, the rapper appears determined to enjoy his final days of freedom surrounded by music, his partner, and the atmosphere of Cuban reggaeton.
Amidst cheers, crowds, and rhythm, the night in Orlando was much more than a concert: it was a showcase of the Cuban talent and the respect it is earning both inside and outside the island.
