Cuban reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito proudly celebrated his halftime performance at the Venezuela vs. Argentina match, held at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. His act was met with enthusiasm from his fans, who praised his international reach and contribution to the reparto genre. "I'm happy, happy for myself and for those who don't envy others' success. I love you," the artist expressed on Instagram, responding to negative comments that surfaced on social media following his performance.
While Bebeshito received a wave of praise from the Cuban audience, he also faced criticism, particularly from users in other Latin American countries. These critics questioned his style and level of recognition outside the island community. Social platforms saw comments like: "First time hearing about this Bebeshito, wasn't even aware he existed"; "Couldn't understand a word he sang"; "Nobody knows him apart from you all, simple as that, let him try a concert in the Dominican Republic, Chile, or Argentina and see how it goes."
Some went as far as making derogatory comparisons: "Oh, I thought it was Bad Bunny or one of those who all sound the same"; "If he were Venezuelan, he'd be deported"; "No, this isn't music, and he isn't a singer." Despite the mockery, numerous Cuban users defended the artist, seeing him as one of the most significant representatives of reparto on the island. To many, his presence at such a large-scale sports event signifies another step in the internationalization of his career and Cuban urban music.
Bebeshito concluded his social media message with a phrase interpreted as a direct response to his detractors: "May what you wish for me be multiplied back to you." He also expressed gratitude to his fans, saying, "We keep raising the flag high. Reparto, endless thanks to all my fans. Without you, none of this would be possible. Every time I see your support, I double my focus."
