Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom, members of the Cuban duo Gente de Zona, revealed this Monday how much they have spent on a single accessory, during a segment of an interview published on the Hottest podcast on Instagram that quickly went viral.
The conversation is part of the full interview that both artists gave to the podcast ac2alitypodcast, the episode —titled "GENTE DE ZONA: Cuba, Dancing and the Truth Behind Patria y Vida"— was released last Wednesday and lasts 52 minutes, available on Spotify.
In the clip, the host asks them what is the most they have spent on a piece of clothing, shoes, or a watch. Alexander Delgado did not hesitate to respond: "I've spent a lot, I don’t know, 100,000, yes, around there," referring to a watch.
Randy Malcom also acknowledged that he has invested a lot in watches, although he clarified that he doesn't wear them often anymore: "I've spent a lot on watches, the maximum... I don't wear watches much, I'm the type who doesn't wear one today, because I always break them."
However, Randy revealed what his true vice is when it comes to accessories: "but many sunglasses, I can tell you, have cost me a fortune."
The luxury and glamour image of Gente de Zona is not new. The duo has walked the most important international red carpets with striking looks, as happened at the Premios Lo Nuestro 2025, where both artists attracted attention with their outfits.
This connection to fashion also extends to their close circle. Randy's partner, Annaby Pozo, launched her clothing brand Be Zazzy in December 2018, available for online purchase in the United States, while Mily Alemán, Alexander's partner, has her own swimwear line called Salty Tans.
The full episode of ac2alitypodcast also covers heavier topics: the duo's origins in Cuba, their international breakthrough with "Bailando" and "La Gozadera," their participation in "Patria y Vida," and the reasons why both artists cannot return to their country due to their stance against the Cuban dictatorship.
Gente de Zona won the Latin Grammy Award for their involvement in "Patria y Vida," the anthem of the Cuban pro-democracy movement, which led to their definitive ban from the regime and permanent exile outside the Island.
