Social media once again brings together two of the most followed Cuban influencers of the moment: Rachel Arderi and La Dura. This time, the trigger has been a photoshoot with snakes, which has sparked immediate comparisons between the two.

A few weeks ago, Rachel Arderi shared a video on her social media where she posed with a snake, an image that caught the attention of her followers due to its bold and cinematic aesthetic. However, now it is La Dura —the artistic name of Diliamne Jouve— who has published a series of very similar photographs, also accompanied by a snake.

The images, shared on Instagram with the message "Savage" and a snake emoji, quickly went viral. In them, La Dura is seen posing with a white viper around her neck and face in an elegant and minimalist photo shoot that rapidly captured the attention of her followers.

As expected, the reaction on social media was immediate. Many fans flooded the comments with praise such as “So cool”, “Goddess”, or “This is the right and artistic use of a snake”.

But other users went further and began to compare the post with the content that Rachel Arderi had shared weeks earlier.

"Now why don't they say that she's copying Rachel, if Rachel was the first to take photos in that style?", wrote a user. Another comment summarized the debate that sparked among followers: "So now who is copying whom?"

There were even some who took the rivalry with humor. “Rachel will soon come out with a T. rex,” joked a follower in a comment that garnered hundreds of reactions.

This is not the first time that the names Rachel Arderi and La Dura have appeared together in comparisons. Since the young influencer—partner of reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito—began to gain popularity in Miami, social media has consistently fueled the debate about their styles, their posts, and their influence.

On other occasions, both have delivered subtle hints on Instagram that have kept their followers on the lookout for every new post.

For now, neither of them has directly mentioned the other in this new digital conversation. However, in the realm of social media—where every detail is scrutinized to the smallest degree—it took just a snake to reignite the debate.
