Cuban singer Eduardo Antonio recently addressed remarks made by Abejas Meme during an appearance on Otaola's show. In a heartfelt video shared on social media, the artist, known as "El Divo de Placetas," expressed his disappointment over Abejas Meme's conduct. Not only did Abejas Meme allow the host to mock Eduardo Antonio openly, but he also claimed that they were not friends.
Describing the episode as "unfortunate," Eduardo Antonio reminded viewers of his collaboration with the young comedian, both online and in nightclubs, and lamented the outcome of the interview with the influencer. "He allowed himself to be manipulated, pressured, and influenced by Alexander Otaola, who, as many know, has a poor relationship with me. But what's important here is that everyone makes mistakes," he stated.
Behind the Scenes: A Strained Friendship
The singer noted that Abejas Meme seemed nervous and unprepared for the interview. However, he emphasized his disappointment at the lack of empathy from someone he has worked with so closely. "I've only ever had positive interactions with Abejas Meme. I allowed him to work with my persona, something I don’t permit everyone. I even supported his character of Carlitos so he could perform live shows," Eduardo Antonio elaborated.
He refuted claims that Abejas Meme is the primary draw at their shows, asserting, "In this whole story, I want to make one thing clear: Abejas Meme doesn't fill my shows. I wanted to give him the opportunity to perform live, not just on social media."
Moving Forward: The Future of Their Collaboration
Eduardo Antonio shared a clip from the end of the interview where Otaola thanked Abejas Meme, followed by a later program where Otaola criticized and mocked him. Despite everything, Eduardo Antonio invited Abejas Meme to express his thoughts on the matter and assured him that he wouldn't stand in the way of any work opportunities. "I won't deny anyone a chance. And I won't allow anyone to destroy a successful partnership. I'm not at odds with success or money," he declared.
In the comments section of his post, "El Divo de Placetas" reassured fans that there's no cause for concern. "Nothing's wrong. Amed and I will continue working and collaborating together, and the public can keep enjoying what they love," he affirmed.
Abejas Meme's Side of the Story
Meanwhile, Abejas Meme also shared a video on Instagram, dismissing CiberCuba's coverage of his interview with Otaola as gossip and confirming that Eduardo Antonio is indeed a friend. "Of course Eduardo Antonio is my friend. I know him and I'm grateful for the opportunity he's given me to use his name and image to create content that people love," he stated.
The comedian explained that he was half-asleep during the interview on "El Mañanero" and disliked how the situation was being blown out of proportion. "I was sleepy because I had to get up early to go to the show, and I wasn't quite aware of what I was saying. Otaola kept pointing out that I wasn't responding much. I don't enjoy interviews, but let's put an end to this gossip," he urged.
This week, Abejas Meme surprised many with his response to Otaola's question about his collaboration with "El Divo." He described their partnership as occasional and laughed along with Otaola's jabs, a reaction that left many fans who have seen the two perform together in apparent harmony, speechless.
