The Cuban reggaeton artist L Kimii has launched a fierce attack against host Alexander Otaola after Otaola made remarks about his skin color during a broadcast from Miami. In a video uploaded to his social media accounts, the visibly upset urban singer directed strong words at the presenter.
"Will nothing happen to Otaola? This is what happens with him. I'm not upset by anything. Highway trash. This is just the beginning. The dictatorship is killing all the black people like me. Right now, I feel so powerless. You're talking about my family, my mother is black... Are you crazy? What's wrong with this guy? Get your toughest lawyers ready in Miami," the artist stated in a defiant tone.
Controversial Remarks Raise Tensions
The statements by Otaola, which seemingly triggered L Kimii's reaction, were perceived as racially charged. However, Otaola denied any wrongdoing, insisting that his comments were taken out of context.
"They told this guy he has to come out, I didn't talk about him as black, I don't comment on people's color. Black people in Cuba are the most oppressed ethnic group, that's what they say themselves. Where's the racism? I didn't talk about this man's family," Otaola responded in a subsequent broadcast.
Social Media Divided Over the Dispute
The clash has sparked a broad debate on social media, dividing users between those who support L Kimii's outrage and those who side with Otaola, known for his provocative and confrontational style. As the exchange of accusations intensifies, there's a possibility that legal action could follow, as threatened by the urban singer himself.
