The Cuban reggaeton scene is buzzing with controversy once again, this time involving the artists Kimiko and Yordi and Oniel Bebeshito. Both performers have scheduled their Miami concerts for December 28, leading to a clash that has not gone unnoticed by fans of the Cuban urban genre. Bebeshito, who recently announced his U.S. debut for that very date, chose the same day that Kimiko and Yordi had already planned a performance in the city.
This scheduling overlap has sparked speculation and a face-off between the artists. In response to Bebeshito's announcement, Kimiko, also known as L Kimii, did not hold back, addressing the "Marca Mandarina" singer directly. "It would have been better to start here," Kimiko remarked, pointing out Bebeshito's lack of communication prior to confirming his event. According to Kimiko, his team had made efforts to choose a date that wouldn't conflict with other year-end events, yet this "written coincidence" thwarted those plans.
Despite the critical tone, Kimiko extended his best wishes to Bebeshito for his debut, emphasizing that both have the chance to "make history in Cuban music." His message, ending with the phrase "long live Cuban music," underscores the importance of unity and respect within the Cuban reggaeton community, even as such situations highlight the growing rivalries among artists in the genre.
Kimiko's Stand: Leadership and Authenticity
Kimiko, a well-established figure in Cuban reggaeton, made it clear that he has never sought out such disputes, stressing his seriousness and leadership in the movement. To further support his position, Kimiko shared a video interview where Bebeshito claimed that a concert by the duo was unattended. Kimiko refuted this claim by posting images and messages celebrating the success of that concert, thereby challenging Bebeshito's narrative.
