Controversy continues to swirl around La Diosa following her recent performance at the Watsco Center in Miami. Despite the significant effort and production value invested in the event, images of empty seats quickly spread across social media, triggering a flood of criticism, mockery, and even some support for the Cuban artist.
Influencer Un Martí To Durako shared a video showcasing sections of the venue with sparse attendance, which prompted many online users to unleash biting comments against the performer. Remarks included, “Wasn't that supposed to be sold out?”; “With so many talented artists in the world, why her?”; “Next time, she should pick a venue ten times smaller to avoid this embarrassment. She's made for cabarets, not stadiums”; “Look at that, almost empty—it's really unfortunate how little support she has, but she brought it upon herself”; “She reaps what she sows; she’s been deceitful, critical, and lacking empathy. The internet never forgets”; “You get what you deserve. She's rude, bitter, claims to have changed, but no way.”
Other comments mocked the event as a “gathering of the elderly” or derided the singer’s vocal abilities: “It’s just full of seniors”; “The crowd was straight out of the Sierra Maestra, nothing you’d hear elsewhere, a gathering of the old”; “Voice? How can you say that when she just barks”; “My neighbor has a great voice too but doesn’t go booking the Watsco Center for a karaoke concert all night. I didn’t hear a single song of hers. And of course, her half-hour rant couldn’t be missed.”
However, some defended La Diosa, praising the quality of the show: “Not sure if it was full or not, but what I saw on YouTube was excellent and on par with any international stage we Cubans admire. It was a well-organized and good show”; “Once again, La Diosa proves she's a warrior, standing tall against those trying to overshadow her. Well done, Diosa, congrats to you and your team for a great concert.”
Fans also lamented the lack of unity and tension among Cubans: “Cuban against Cuban, that's what we teach the new generation, and it's wrong. She performed for an audience that came, even if it wasn't full”; “For reasons like this, I don’t hire any Cubans. All they do is try to embarrass one another. It’s always envy and the desire to outshine others at any cost.”
Regardless of the mixed reactions, La Diosa's concert marked a significant milestone in her artistic journey with the release of her album, Joyas, which represents a departure from the vulgarity in her music that has often been criticized.
