Just hours after Cuban reggaeton artist El 2Chun publicly accused Oniel Bebeshito and producer Roberto Ferrante of allegedly illegally appropriating the song "Perriña," the singer known for "El Punto" and "Mi nombre" responded indirectly yet visibly on social media.
Oniel posted a video from a private hangar in the United States, strolling among small planes, accompanied by the phrase "Pay no attention to comments," a line from one of his songs. Many followers interpreted this as a silent reply to the ongoing dispute. In the footage, he appears calm, dressed in black, focusing on what some see as a declaration of personal success.
The post quickly went viral on Instagram, drawing hundreds of supportive comments. Fans offered encouragement with phrases like "Vision and mentality," "The best from my country," "You've made it to the private jets," "Cuba shining in the USA," and "Worry when they stop talking about you." Others referenced the controversy directly, applauding his apparent indifference to the allegations: "This is how you respond: with actions," "Proving it with planes," and "Keep soaring high while others bark."
While Bebeshito has not made a formal statement regarding El 2Chun's accusations, this public appearance in a triumphant tone is seen as a non-verbal communication strategy: showcasing success, focus, and progress while the dispute unfolds on social media and in the press.
Meanwhile, El 2Chun continues to assert his authorship of "Perriña," claiming to hold legal proof and registration with ASCAP since 2020. So far, Planet Records has not issued an official response.
This controversy once again highlights the ongoing debate over copyright issues in Cuban urban music and the dynamics between artists and record labels.
