Óscar Segundo, better known in the music scene as El 2Chun, has made serious allegations against fellow Cuban artist Bebeshito and Italian producer Roberto Ferrante, the owner of Planet Records. Based in Miami, El 2Chun claims they are attempting to unlawfully claim ownership of his song “Perriña.” The conflict has quickly gained traction on social media, where El 2Chun has shared evidence, direct statements, and videos to support his claims.
In one of his most recent videos, El 2Chun addressed the situation: “Oniel, now you're creating stories that the song is yours. We all know that legally it's quite straightforward now. This is a battle with you and Roberto Ferrante. I tried to resolve things without speaking out, but no one responded. As an artist, I’ve always given proper credit,” he stated. He emphasized being the "legal author and composer since 2020" and mentioned registering the song with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
The artist also shared an older clip featuring himself and Bebeshito in the studio during the creative process of “Perriña,” predating the song’s official release. The track was included in the album *Sin Rutas* and was distributed in October 2024 by the independent label Fn Record Inc. El 2Chun claims the song began to organically gain popularity through his YouTube channel, prompting the alleged aggressive move by the record company.
Public reaction was swift. Many comments on El 2Chun’s posts expressed support for the young artist: “The truth is with those who deserve it,” “You’ve always fought without harming anyone,” and “Planet Records is ruining the careers of many talents.” Skeptics, however, suggested he take the matter to court. One message highlighted that “Perriña” debuted at number 31 on the YouTube charts, increasing its visibility and sparking further tensions.
As of now, neither Bebeshito nor Planet Records has issued an official response to these accusations. Meanwhile, El 2Chun remains adamant about pursuing legal action if the issue isn’t resolved. “This is America, not Cuba,” he declared in a previous video, making it clear he won’t allow his work to be erased or appropriated without consequences.
