The rise to fame of Milenita, a Cuban sensation on TikTok, has been nothing short of spectacular. Ever since she shared a video documenting her journey to Cuba, the internet has been abuzz with criticism regarding the house where her mother welcomed her. Her popularity has only grown since then. Despite facing a deluge of mockery, memes, and parodies, especially about her Varadero video with her mother, Milenita deserves credit for not letting the negativity get to her or pushing her off social media.
Instead of shying away, she has adeptly capitalized on her newfound fame, turning the tables on her detractors with confidence. This includes addressing the remarks from influencer Alexander Otaola, who has been openly critical of her.
With her signature greeting, “¡Mi gente!”, Milenita didn't hold back in responding to Otaola's comments, who has mentioned her on more than one occasion. In a playful imitation of the presenter, exaggerating his mouth movements, Milenita quips, “He looks like a chicken... Who doesn’t Otaola throw shade at? He says I'm crazy and that I'm from the Fraggles, the 'look mom, I caught a Fraggle' guy. I wish I could catch a Fraggle, I love them.”
She further added, “Look at how he's trying to compare me to things, you're thinking about me too much, my dear. Of course, I went to Cuba with my mom because that's what I wanted to do, and that's just who I am—cheerful and carefree, like the Fraggles or however you want to put it.” It's evident that Otaola's and others' comments online don't faze her in the slightest.
Continuing her light-hearted jabs at the influencer, she humorously suggested, “Soon, Otaola might invite me to his farm because he can't stop talking about me. He claims I'm contributing to foolishness, but I'm actually providing entertainment with my videos, creating delightful content that not everyone does, letting you all enjoy something different.”
The highlight of the video comes when she blows a kiss to Otaola and says, “Thanks for the fame, maybe one day I'll have a coffee with you at your farm, thanks for everything.” A follower commented, “If you've reached Otaola, you've made it far, girl,” echoing Milenita’s own sentiments. While others may criticize, she continues to ride the wave of her viral fame, unafraid of success.
