On Monday, Cuban singer La Diosa celebrated her victory in a Miami court against businessman Armando Labrador, owner of the Cántalo TV corporation and My Cosmetic Surgery clinic, who had sued her for breach of contract. In a video shared on her Instagram, the "40 libras" singer is seen alongside her partner, Rey El Mago, and her attorneys from VPP Law Firm, the same legal team that frequently represents presenter Alexander Otaola.
"Emerging victorious from court against Armando Labrador with my attorneys and with victory in hand," the artist wrote, embracing her triumph with her usual carefree style. Her song "Por debajo del agua" plays in the background, a track she released upon arriving in the United States, showcasing her resilience against criticism.
Rey El Mago added a sharp comment to the post: "Let's see if influencers and YouTubers now make a show and report the news." The footage was captured outside the Miami-Dade County courthouse, where the singer posed happily with her attorneys following the favorable verdict.
Background of the Legal Dispute
In December 2024, Cántalo TV, represented by Armando Labrador, filed a lawsuit against La Diosa, claiming the artist breached a 2023 contract granting the company exclusive rights over her career. The legal document, submitted by attorney Lilly J. Real, stipulated that the singer was required to surrender 20% of her monthly net earnings and keep the corporation informed about her income and events.
The legal battle also involved a $91,000 loan that La Diosa received from the company to purchase a luxury Cadillac. Although the artist had made three partial payments of $20,000, Labrador's lawsuit demanded that she still owed $31,000. Labrador sought a total compensation exceeding $100,000, alleging unjust enrichment by the performer.
However, with this ruling, La Diosa claims to have emerged victorious from a legal ordeal that had been a shadow over her for months. She had spoken little about it on social media, but now she reaffirms her artistic independence. Her followers celebrated the news, flooding the post with messages of support and congratulations.
As of the time of writing, Armando Labrador has not publicly commented on the verdict.
