La Cintumbare, whose real name is Cinthya Medrano García, made a comeback this Thursday in an Instagram reel to show how she is coping after the crisis that kept her out of the public eye for days, alarming her family and followers.

The video, posted by the page "Solo gente bonita," features her in a small, almost empty room, alongside the Venezuelan influencer Cazorla, who resides in Cuba and has supported her with some basic appliances.

According to La Cintumbare, she lost all her belongings to the man she refers to as "Jíbaro," with whom she had a relationship marked by a financial debt, and who allegedly took everything she had. Now she is starting from scratch, although she claims to have electricity and the support of Cazorla.

"Little by little, but here we go," she said in the reel, with a tone that mixes resignation and determination. "I have power, we will fix things little by little," she added, trying to convey calm to her followers.

The crisis that led to this situation began in mid-September, when the Cuban singer Ja Rulay issued a public warning after a video in which she defended crack consumption. "Little by little, it’s going to destroy you," the artist told her, reminding her of her responsibilities as a mother and public figure.

Days later, her sister Maura issued an alert because the family had not heard from her for two days and her Instagram account had disappeared. Cintumbare herself reappeared on TikTok on September 21 to explain that she was at the home of the "Jíbaro", that she couldn't leave because she owed money, and that she had sold her Instagram account to settle that debt.

The influencer was deported from the United States to Cuba in February 2025 by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after failing to attend an immigration hearing in October 2023, which resulted in an order for deportation in absentia. Months after her return to the island, she stated that she planned to return to the United States "in five years" as an artist.

In Thursday's reel, La Cintumbare also announced the release of a new song available on her YouTube channel, a sign that she is looking to resume her musical activity. "People like to talk a lot, I like to document things," she stated, making it clear that she will continue to share her process publicly.

"Let's move forward," the influencer concluded, expressing her intent to keep going after one of the toughest episodes of her life.
