The Cuban singer Hallel Génesis planned to treat her mom, Dailet Reyes, to a lavish gift this Mother's Day. She arrived at her mom's doorstep with a chic Louis Vuitton bag, ready for the big reveal, but the reaction was not what she anticipated. "No, Hallel! Return the money, I shop at Shein. Why did you have to buy me this?" her mom exclaimed, both surprised and slightly reproachful, even before seeing the contents of the bag.
"You sent them to me!" Hallel defended herself, explaining that it was her mother who had sent her a picture of the sandals days earlier. With the sandals in hand and a smile betraying her delight, Dailet playfully relented: "I sent you this as a joke... They're beautiful," she admitted while trying them on, her excitement palpable.
The entire exchange was captured in a video that Hallel shared on her social media platforms. Alongside the video, she included a heartfelt message emphasizing the close bond she shares with her mother: "First, thank God for everything. You all know the beautiful relationship I have with my mom, but for those who don't, @dailetreyes is my friend, advisor, and comment lawyer... Oh, and of course we argue, but we make up immediately because I have mamiti. Ultimately, this is nothing compared to what you deserve. I love you, and happy Mother's Day to all."
The post was flooded with reactions applauding the candid moment and the strong connection between mother and daughter. "Only Cuban moms give you a gift with a scolding," commented one follower. "I shop at Shein too, but if it's gifted... I'll try it on," added another. The scene charmed many with its mix of tenderness, humor, and authenticity.
While her brief relationship with rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine brought her into the social media spotlight, Hallel Génesis has been carving out her own niche in the music industry. With moments like this, she also wins the audience's affection by showing that before being a performer, she is a devoted daughter.
