Cuban urban music artist Dany Ome has once again stirred up controversy after boldly declaring in a live video that he is "Cuba's best, the top writer, the trendsetter, the most expensive, and the owner of his business." These remarks, made during a live session with other content creators, quickly spread across social media, igniting a storm of ridicule, memes, and harsh criticism from users online.
The backlash was swift. Numerous users criticized his comments, labeling him as conceited, while some compared him to fellow artists like El Kimi or Bebesito, suggesting that they are the true leaders of the scene. Others took a humorous approach, seizing the moment to make ironic remarks about his style and presence in the genre.
In response to the overwhelming reactions, Dany Ome took to Instagram to clarify the situation. "I was just joking with a friend who was teasing me," the reggaeton artist explained, claiming his words were misinterpreted. "What I didn't like is how they took the video and twisted it maliciously," he complained, accusing some pages of "spreading negativity by editing videos to suit their narrative."
Despite his clarification, many critics remained unconvinced, also pointing out the numerous spelling errors in his statement, which further fueled the online frenzy. Nonetheless, some fans defended him, highlighting his recent achievements and impact on Cuban urban music. However, others argued that humility is essential to surpass fleeting trends.
