The Cuban influencer Pollito Tropical has reached his limit with the viral song of the moment, and he made it clear in a 13-second reel that became a phenomenon in its own right.
The video, published last Wednesday, was his response to the refrain "a little coffee, so tasty, so tasty" from "Bonito, Bonito," the song created with artificial intelligence that has been flooding TikTok and Instagram for weeks.
The influencer only allowed the first line of the song "un cafecito, riquito riquito" to play, holding his own cup of coffee in hand; but suddenly, when no one was expecting it, he erupted into total madness.
"Enough already with the coffee! Enough! Coffee is meant to be enjoyed in silence, in peace and tranquility. Not even a coffee anymore!" he burst out, tired of hearing the same refrain over and over again.
The clip amassed over 6.5 million views, nearly 400,000 likes, and more than 14,500 comments—figures that reflect both the number of users who shared that frustration and the virality of the song itself.
The comments section was filled with expressions of gratitude and camaraderie. "I was about to leave the video because of the song, but you shouted just in time," wrote one follower. Another added, "It needed to be said, and you said it. Epic."
Several fans took the opportunity to provide context for the outburst: "For newcomers: he had been calm for days," warned one. "Yes, yes, he had been very peaceful for days. I miss his scoldings," confirmed another, making it clear that the creator's reactivity is part of the appeal that keeps his loyal audience engaged.
This time the trigger was much more mundane: a catchy little song repeated to the point of exhaustion. And the response from his followers confirmed it: "Pollito, thanks for saying it for me, really, thank you. I'm also fed up with the little coffee song."
The feeling of saturation was unanimous among those who supported the reel. "We're very fed up with the 'little rich boy, little rich boy,'" summarized one user. Another was more poetic: "You laugh, but it's true. How pleasurable it is to have coffee, enjoy silence, and gaze into space, thinking something beautiful and smiling to oneself."
There were those who extended their frustration to other viral audios: "I prefer the one about coffee over the one about the shoulder, which is another song that's got me dizzy," commented a follower, referring to another track that has also overwhelmed the platforms.
"Bonito, Bonito" was released in August of this year under the stage name Thiago Navarro, a digital avatar created by composer Anier Cruz Revilla with artificial intelligence for the voice, instruments, and imagery of the project. By this week, the song had accumulated 24 million views on YouTube and had been used in over 300,000 posts on TikTok.
