The Cuban singer Eduardo Antonio has made a public plea for a truce with Alexander Otaola in a video shared on his Instagram account this Tuesday. In the heartfelt message, he reached out directly to the presenter, invoking the friendship they once shared. "I'm asking for a truce, Paola, please, Alexandro speaking here, because of the friendship we had in the past," the artist, known as The Divo of Placetas, began.
Eduardo Antonio mentioned receiving numerous messages from friends suggesting that Otaola might be infatuated or obsessed with him. "Please, stop," he urged. The singer requested that Otaola "focus" and refrain from making further remarks about him, following the presenter's recent criticisms regarding his participation in public events and aspects of his personal life.
Clarifying his attendance at a recent event, Eduardo Antonio stated, "I didn't go to a gay parade; I attended the New York Latin Parade in New Jersey, where I was honored as king. You can't be like this, especially not criticizing community members who awarded me such a beautiful recognition," he explained.
Furthermore, he defended his current romantic relationship, expressing pride in his sexual orientation and marriage. "When I was bisexual, I lived it happily, with honor, as I am, truthfully. Now I am in love with my husband, who is not my servant, but a man who loves me and wants me to grow every day," he declared.
The artist also took a stand against Otaola's alleged mockery of singer Gloria Estefan, whom he described as one of the prominent figures of the Cuban exile community. "That is mocking the exile. You're going after personalities who have always upheld Cuba's honor," he remarked.
In closing his message, Eduardo Antonio offered his fellow countryman a piece of advice: "This advice is from one Cuban to another. Don't mess with the LGBT community. I would never call you a derogatory term because I am a man."
The video quickly stirred reactions on social media, sparking debates among the followers of both the singer and the presenter about The Divo of Placetas's words and the tense dynamics between them.
