Yomil along with Charly & Johayron have found themselves in the midst of controversy after releasing a sneak peek of their latest musical collaboration on social media. While many fans praised the vibrant energy and the collaboration between these Cuban artists, others quickly pointed out a striking resemblance to "Rompe," one of Daddy Yankee's most iconic tracks. The similarities in the beat and certain lyrics have raised suspicions.
The preview quickly garnered attention and unleashed a flood of comments. Numerous users directly accused the reggaeton artists of plagiarism, suggesting that the production is essentially a direct copy of the Big Boss's classic hit, although the way it's presented indicates it might be a cover or version.
Comments on Yomil's post included remarks like, "Every song is a rip-off"; "It’s the same beat as 'Rompe,' let's see if Daddy Yankee sues you"; "Always piggybacking on plagiarism"; "Let's wait and see what happens when the real Daddy Yankee finds out"; "They can’t create anything without copying from old artists and sounds"; "If Daddy Yankee hears this, he'll sue for total plagiarism"; "Always copying"; "Creating an original beat is really hard."
On Charly & Johayron's announcement post, a follower advised the popular duo: “My respects to you, you have a great career, especially Yomil who's been around for a while, but try to innovate, create new songs that are different so that Cuba's name can shine like it used to. This is why Cuban music isn’t progressing—too many covers and not enough new melodies. But I’m sure new things will come, blessings.”
Despite the intense accusations, many fans expressed excitement about hearing the full version of the track, highlighting the chemistry between Yomil and the currently popular duo, Charly & Johayron.
To date, neither Yomil nor Charly & Johayron have responded to the criticisms or clarified whether the similarity to Daddy Yankee's track was intentional or a tribute to the Puerto Rican reggaeton icon. Is it a case of simple inspiration, or are we witnessing another instance of plagiarism in urban music? Only they know the truth.
