Monday, June 22, 2026 by Elizabeth Alvarado

Ana María Daniel, the partner of Cuban reggaeton artist El Micha, has once again publicly defended him through a video released last Friday on Instagram. In the video, she condemns the bullying and harassment that she claims the singer has endured, stating that in 14 years, she has never seen him act against his ideological stance.

Boldly, Ana María declares in the clip, "In 14 years, I've never seen El Micha, the crab, or the government of Cuba," making it clear that despite their separation, she will not remain silent in the face of what she perceives as an unfair attack on her children's father.

"Let's talk about the bullying, the harassment they've caused El Micha, because in the end, they've all piled on him, and... nobody knows what that man is suffering, or how he is physically and mentally," she stated in the video, which garnered over 30,500 views within hours.

Criticism of Fellow Artists

Ana María also called out other artists who have released songs attacking the reggaeton artist: "They should be ashamed, all of them. Meanwhile, there's a bunch of guys here making songs," she said, alluding to lyrics mentioning "a bridge," referring to disputes within the Cuban reggaeton scene in exile.

In the same video, the Cuban highlighted the role of Alexander, known as El Chacal, as the only artist who publicly supported El Micha: "Alexander was the only person who publicly defended El Micha. Publicly. No one else did," she affirmed, expressing a deep respect for him.

A History of Public Defense

This is not Ana María's first public defense in 2026. On May 4, she had already posted a video declaring, "I will always defend him. It takes courage, because the guy has made history. No one gives him credit, not a single one." She also emphasized, "He is the father of my children. Even if we're no longer together. He is the father of my children and my family."

The couple's relationship ended in September 2025, after 13 years together and two children, when Ana María posted a farewell message that included the phrase "Good luck in Cuba," directly referencing the artist's return to the island. Now, it seems the pair might be giving love another chance.

El Micha's Return to Cuba

El Micha had announced his decision to move back to Cuba permanently, citing a desire to stop paying bills in Miami. Ana María's response was direct: "So your children aren't your family?" questioning the singer's talk of finding his "real family" on the island.

In May 2026, El Micha broke his silence about his noticeable weight loss, revealing that he was diagnosed with prediabetes and that chronic stress triggered the physical change, dispelling rumors of a serious illness circulating online.

The new video from Ana María concludes with an open invitation to dialogue: "Maybe I want to talk," a phrase interpreted by her followers as a sign that there is more to be revealed about this story.
