Eduardo Antonio, a prominent figure in Cuban entertainment, is well-known for his vibrant presence on social media. While he often receives both praise and criticism, this time he chose to speak out against an offensive comment made on one of his recent posts. Known as the Divo of Placetas, he responded with both grace and assertiveness, sharing the derogatory remark and his reply to highlight such disrespect.
“You still need to have surgery on your backside to remove the folds,” a user remarked, referring to his latest aesthetic procedure. Rather than ignore the insult, Eduardo labeled it as homophobic and offensive, not only towards him but towards many Cuban women, including his mother. In his response, he proclaimed, “I am a Cuban artist who has elevated Cuba’s name, whether you like it or not.”
The post, accompanied by the phrase “GROSSNESS AT ITS FINEST,” quickly went viral. Support poured in from all corners, with comments like “Standing ovation,” “Excellent clapback,” and “I’m speechless,” all applauding his stance and condemning the offensive remark.
This incident occurred shortly after the singer revealed he had undergone cosmetic facial surgery in Miami to address sagging skin resulting from significant weight loss. “To lift what had fallen,” he candidly explained, maintaining his trademark humor.
Eduardo is no stranger to critique regarding his aesthetic enhancements, nor is he one to shy away from responding openly. In a recent post, he boldly stated, “Is anyone going to pay for my surgery?” reaffirming his right to do as he pleases with his appearance.
For those curious about the outcome, Eduardo showcased a photo post-operation, appearing both serious and rejuvenated as he posed with his husband in front of a mirror. The verdict from his fans? He looks spectacular! What a transformation!
