La Super Friki (Ani Dieppa), wife of Cuban reggaeton artist El Yonki, sparked controversy on Instagram by firmly defending her decision not to set foot in Cuba, after a user questioned why she organized the family reunion in Punta Cana instead of doing it directly on the island.
Everything started when a user left a comment on the reunion post: "But if it was possible to go to Cuba, what’s the difference?"
The response from La Super Friki was prompt and unfiltered: “What’s the difference? I simply don’t want to give my money to the dictatorship, I don’t want to set foot in that country with its communists in it; now you see what the difference is, down with the dictatorship, long live free Cuba.”
The controversy didn't end there. Another user reminded her that she has visited Cuba in the past, hinting at a contradiction in her stance.
Ani Dieppa responded with equal firmness, explaining the context of that trip: “Listen up, unfortunate one, we went to Cuba because his mother was very ill and has since passed away, and we have never returned, but we've never been seen going to nightclubs or anything like that. Mind your own business and don't be so stupid and nosy, because I do what I want, and if I don't go, it's because I don't want to, and that's that.”
The criticisms continued, and the same user accused La Super Friki of contributing to the Cuban regime through its travel agency, arguing that "by having a travel agency, you are contributing to that country."
She dismantled the argument with concrete facts: "First, find out, my agency is for tourism to the whole world except for Cuba. What the hell do I have to do with them? My agency is about exploring the world, I don't send packages or remittances, please, speak with facts."
La Super Friki is the executive director of La Super Friky Travels, an agency focused on Cuban families abroad that facilitates reunions in destinations like Punta Cana, but does not offer trips to Cuba.
The debate that erupted in the comments reflects one of the deepest divisions in the Cuban exile community: those who refuse to travel to the island in order not to fund the regime —which controls the hotel industry through state-owned enterprises— and those who prioritize direct family connections with Cuba over political considerations.
The same user defended his position: "I wouldn't leave my homeland, even if it is falling apart, to go to another country to see my family; I go straight to Cuba and see them. If you're not one of your own, you're not one of anyone."
The reunion that sparked everything was the second of its kind organized by La Super Friki in Punta Cana: in July 2024, they had already prepared a similar surprise for El Yonki to see his daughter Alejandra, aged 11, in that same Dominican destination.
The couple, who got married in Miami on August 3, 2025, shared images of the emotional moment on social media. Yonki wrote alongside the video: "There are things that money can't buy. A real love, I love you my baby." The post garnered over 10,800 likes on Instagram.
It's not the first time that La Super Friki has faced criticism on social media with direct responses. In 2026, she had already been involved in a controversy over her cosmetic surgeries, defending her right to modify her body. However, her anti-Castro stance has been clearer than ever this time.
