Cuban reggaeton artist Ovi has once again stirred up social media, launching a barrage of criticism at model Samantha Espineira, with whom he appears to have severed all ties. The fallout became apparent when both unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking rumors that Ovi confirmed with an unfiltered comment on a post by influencer Un Martí To Durako.
"She's just another one who thinks she's the last Coca-Cola in the desert, and there are 200 women better than her," Ovi wrote, implying that Samantha was only interested in him when he had money. He further claimed that she refused to visit him unless he gifted her branded clothing: "She never wanted to come to my house unless I gave her BAPE clothes, HAHA," he added. He concluded his message decisively, "I'll never follow you again, your hype is over. I'm done, not even giving likes."
Ongoing Controversies Surrounding Ovi
This latest drama follows another incident involving Ovi that occurred just a week ago. The singer was at the center of controversy after making an offensive remark about artist Hallel Génesis, following her use of one of his well-known phrases, "jefecito." What began as an apparently harmless anecdote quickly escalated due to Ovi's disproportionate reaction.
"Eh, how funny she is, I don't know her and I don't want to either. I don't like cleaning up someone else's mess," Ovi commented, sparking a wave of backlash. Hallel fired back, stating firmly, "Boss, please don't make me speak publicly. Learn to respect women more and confront men, not me. Oh, and unfollowed for lack of respect." Her response was widely applauded on social media. Under pressure from the criticism, Ovi eventually issued a public apology: "It's true, I overstepped. To err is human," he admitted, acknowledging his wrongdoing. However, for many, the damage was done. Hallel's words were seen as a call for respect, highlighting a stark contrast with the singer's behavior.
Feuds with Other Public Figures
Adding to these disputes are Ovi's ongoing conflicts with other public figures, such as influencer Baby Alien, Puerto Rican presenter Molusco, Cuban reggaeton artist Yomil, and Puerto Rican artist Bryant Myers. Amidst this turbulent landscape, Ovi appears to be experiencing a challenging period in the media, as his name has been associated more with scandals than with musical releases in recent weeks.
