The creator of the Cuban reality show "El Rancho de Destino", Destino Tolk, posted a video on Facebook this Friday in which he directly accused the influencer Alexander Otaola of being "dishonest and manipulative" for backing out of a financial agreement worth 200 thousand dollars.
Destino assures that his sponsors were ready to cover the entire amount. "Damn, Otaola. You really are a liar and manipulator. My sponsors, who are rich, damn, millionaires, told me, let's give him the 200," he stated.
For Destino, it was Otaola who backed out of the deal. "And the one who got scared was you, coward," he shot directly in the video.
As retaliation, Destino announced that Otaola must work for him without pay for 40 days in his upcoming reality show. "That’s 40 days you’re going to work for me for free," he declared, arguing that the algorithm in Miami favors his channel and that Otaola already participated in the previous season.
Destino clarified, however, that it will not impose copyright or sanctions on Otaola's content. "I'm going to let you find your own way because otherwise, you won't be able to pay your bills," he said, referring to the presenter's invoices.
The video closed with a sarcastic "I adore you, mayor," a nickname that Destino typically uses to refer to Otaola.
This new episode adds to a long string of public confrontations between both figures. In October 2025, Destino announced a three million dollar lawsuit against Otaola for suggesting on his program that drugs were being consumed on the reality show. Otaola then responded nonchalantly, suggesting that Destino was seeking to create a scandal for self-promotion.
In January 2026, Otaola described "El Rancho de Destino" as "disgusting" and expressed "disgust" following a series of violent fights among participants of the show.
Tensions escalated on March 23, 2026, when Brayan "El Joker", the reality show winner, revealed on the program hosted by Otaola that Destino had not paid the promised prizes or distributed the agreed-upon superchats, and that contracts with sponsors were valid for up to two years.
