The Cuban singer known as La Diosa didn't hold back in responding to a recent message from actress and comedian Aly Sánchez directed at the Cuban community in the United States. With a touch of irony, La Diosa took to social media to express her views.
This all began with an Instagram post from CiberCuba highlighting Aly Sánchez's message. In it, Sánchez lamented the loss of empathy and solidarity among Cuban exiles while pointing out an increase in hostility within the community. Responding to the post, a user commented, "My God, they are like an army, following orders one after another. Otaola is right, he's not mistaken." La Diosa responded bluntly to this comment: "Good thing you noticed," clearly disagreeing with Aly Sánchez's approach.
Though she didn't name Sánchez directly, La Diosa's response suggested that she sees Aly as part of a group of artists who, in her view, do not speak out strongly enough against the Cuban dictatorship, yet openly criticize issues in the United States, such as the recent crackdown on migrants.
In the original video that sparked the controversy, Aly Sánchez appeared visibly upset, questioning, "How did we get here?" as she highlighted the divisions among Cubans in the United States. This reaction from La Diosa has reignited the debate over the role of Cuban artists in exile and their stances on political and immigration issues affecting the community.
While some defend the right of figures like Aly to voice concerns about the social climate, others, like La Diosa, are quick to point out what they see as hypocrisy or inconsistency.
