Abejas Memes recently joined Alexander Otaola for breakfast on his show, El Mañanero, where he sparked controversy by allowing the host to openly mock Eduardo Antonio. When asked about his collaboration with the Cuban artist, Abejas Memes' response left many followers shocked, especially those who have seen them share videos and performances together.
"We see each other, for instance, we make a video one day because people enjoy the storyline we create, and that's it. We meet briefly; he’s not my friend nor do I spend all my time with him," the comedian stated, implying that his appearances in El Divo's shows were part of his adjustment to Miami's entertainment scene.
Throughout the interview, Abejas Memes laughed along with Otaola's jabs at El Divo. The host went as far as suggesting that Eduardo wanted to "consume" Abejas, be unfaithful to his husband Roy with him, and even asked if a threesome had been proposed. Abejas Memes chuckled, denying any such offer.
Following these remarks, Instagram users were quick to criticize Abejas Memes: "Speechless right now"; "I didn't like his comment about Eduardo, I thought he was a different person"; "Terrible! Now you're asking for the last and going backwards Abejas Memes, what a disappointment"; "Such a lack of tact. He really messed up with Eduardo Antonio"; "Abejas, I won't follow you anymore"; "What a lack of ethics and values"; "Did he really say that? So low and dirty, when you think you've seen it all"; "With friends like that, who needs enemies."
After Abejas Memes' comments in the interview, CiberCuba reached out to Eduardo Antonio, who expressed his anger and hurt: "Everyone's calling him ungrateful for letting Otaola badmouth me while he just nodded along and stayed silent. I've given this guy work in my shows, allowed him to use my image for his online content and business promotions, and he went to Otaola to speak poorly of me."
