Eduardo Antonio, the Cuban singer famously known as El Divo de Placetas, took his followers by surprise with a striking announcement on social media. He revealed the end of his professional relationship with influencer and comedian Abejas Memes, with whom he had shared a close artistic collaboration.
In a video shared on his digital platforms, Eduardo Antonio elaborated on the reasons for this split, making it clear that he would no longer work or interact with the popular content creator. "I have to share something with you; as I always say, I never lie to my audience and I tell it like it is. I just had a conversation with Abejas Memes' manager, a wonderful and educated woman who sought the best for my presence at his upcoming show. However, he got upset and doesn't want me at his show, fearing I would overshadow him. I gave him a spotlight, and he took the whole lamp because he couldn't channel it. I don't need to steal anyone's show," he expressed.
The singer confirmed that October 26 would mark the last day of their professional contact, coinciding with Abejas Memes' participation in an event at El Rancho Rey del Lechón. "On October 26, he has a commitment with me at El Rancho Rey del Lechón, not just with me but with the public, who were promised his presence. I need him there because it will be the last day he has an interaction with me like Carlitos, Macusa, and Carlitos' dad. The relationship ends, and from that day, he will remove all videos with me, as will I. In life, gratitude is essential," the artist declared.
Furthermore, Eduardo Antonio announced the termination of the character they both portrayed in their viral videos, stating he would not continue that dynamic or any joint content. "I have no need to be with someone who doesn't admire me enough, who doesn't appreciate what I did with him. But respect is due to the audience. Thus, the character I created, Carlitos' dad, is finished. I found the real DNA evidence, and I am not Carlitos' dad, nor Macusa's ex," he stated.
He also emphasized that he won't control the opinions or reactions of his followers regarding the controversy, affirming their freedom to express themselves. "To my followers, I'll just say he thinks I must control you, that I'm inciting you to say things. I know you've simply reacted to what he did, as it's evident he gets upset when I'm mentioned," he added.
"I will not control my followers. They are free to act, understand, and express whatever they wish. Starting the 26th, my interaction with Abejas Meme is over, for good," he reiterated.
Finally, Eduardo Antonio wished his now-former colleague well but drew a definitive line: "I wish Abejas Meme all the luck in the world because he'll need it in this industry. But I never want him near me again. We weren't friends, and as colleagues, I don't want him either because he bit the hand that helped him."
El Divo reminded of his history with Cuban broadcaster Frank Abel, with whom he has had clashes: "I am not Frank Abel. You mistook your target, you mistook a man beloved by his audience. The greatest asset I have is the respect of my audience and my professionalism. And you, with your baggage and inflated ego, won't break it."
"I think your ego has reached the sky. This is a long-distance race spanning many years. Don't forget, I am the star," he declared without holding back.
With this decisive statement, Eduardo Antonio concludes a chapter with Abejas Memes, following two controversial interviews by the influencer and comedian that sparked significant buzz on social media.
