For the third occasion, Yomil Hidalgo has been denied a visa to enter the United States, disrupting the reggaeton artist's plans to perform for his fans in the country. "I was in an administrative process for three months, and for the third time, they denied my visa to the USA," the musician shared on his Instagram profile.
"It's no big deal, I'm used to life's challenges. If plan A doesn't work, we always have a plan B, a plan C, and a plan D," he mentioned in a video. "So, to the person saying 'just come already, you're scared': no, I've been eager to go there for a while, to resolve things face-to-face, but don't do it behind my back, don't spread rumors like you do with all those congressman friends of yours, with all those people. What's the fear, if all I want is to get in there. You say you have a lawsuit against me, let me in to see if we can resolve this issue and see if you pay me or I pay you," Yomil said, holding Alexander Otaola responsible for the situation.
The controversy between the reggaeton star and the presenter has been ongoing since 2018, when Yomil slapped Otaola in a Miami store, and Otaola has suggested having a lawsuit against the singer. Last April, Yomil announced he was planning a tour in the United States, but the visa denial has delayed these plans.
