El B, whose real name is Bian Oscar Rodríguez Galá, broke his silence this Sunday with an explosive video in which he directly confronts his former duo partner from Los Aldeanos, Aldo Roberto Rodríguez Baquero, known as Al2 El Aldeano, accusing him of having attacked both him and his partner Lía for 12 years.
The immediate trigger was the viral spread of his comments on social media, which, according to El B, were taken out of context: he responded to a fake profile that then deleted its own messages, leaving only the rapper's replies to make him look "like a madman."
"It's me, Bian Oscar Rodríguez. I'm not a secretary; I don't send people to speak for me," clarified El B at the beginning of the video, making it clear that he was speaking on his own behalf and without intermediaries.
The rapper was direct in pointing out his former partner: "You've been at it for 12 years, 12 years attacking my family, constantly attacking my wife, constantly drawing attention to Lía, to Lía, so that no one looks at what you have hidden."
According to El B, people close to Aldo —whom he refers to as "the steward" and "the clown"— spent two months doing live broadcasts and giving interviews to defame him and his partner, with Aldo's explicit authorization.
El B claims that he tried to resolve the conflict privately on multiple occasions, but without success: "I tried thousands of times privately. The last time I did it through Instagram, and what he did was block me."
As a specific warning, the rapper announced that if Aldo's circle acts again, he will start to publicly reveal information about Mariela Cartagena Ortuski, described as the woman that Aldo "had hidden" and with whom he married and had a child.
"I'm going to start talking about Mariela Cartagena Ortuski, who is the woman you had hidden. Any man who has to hide the woman he chose to marry and have a child with cannot speak about anyone else's woman," he stated.
B also revealed that he had to hire a lawyer named Jonathan to regain access to his YouTube channel Hugo Larsen, which was linked to Mariela's account, preventing him from monetizing it.
In addition, he described what he calls the "modus operandi" of Aldo's environment: "They are dedicated to bothering people in order to later enforce the law."
The rapper announced that he has legal cases ready: "I have your case prepared too. Case for cyberbullying, case for threats, case for defamation. I've got it all lined up, all ready for you."
El B and Aldo founded Los Aldeanos on February 27, 2003, in La Lisa, Havana, becoming one of the most influential duos in Cuban rap due to their critical content against the dictatorship. The separation was a gradual process: in 2018 El B was already discussing separate paths, and in December 2022, he declared that they would not reunite or perform concerts together again.
Meanwhile, Al2 El Aldeano continued his solo career with remarkable international projection, including a nomination for the 2024 Latin Grammy for the song "Blam Blam" alongside Vico C.
El B closed his message with an explanation for his long silence: "I've been quiet, you know why? Because of the mess with the legacy. Because I didn't want to break the hearts of the people who truly believed in this."
