In recent days, social media has been abuzz with talk about Hallel Genesis, a young Cuban artist who has unwittingly captivated Tekashi 6ix9ine. The rapper hasn't stopped showering her with compliments publicly on Instagram. But who exactly is this woman, where does she come from, and how has her journey in music and social media unfolded? Here, we delve into these questions and more, as CiberCuba had a direct conversation with her.

Born and raised in Havana, Hallel recently turned 20. Reflecting on her life on the island, she shares, "I have no complaints about my life in Cuba; my childhood was incredibly beautiful and family-oriented." Eight years ago, she moved to Miami with a promising future ahead of her.

From a young age, Hallel was passionate about music, especially singing, and the entertainment industry. "When I was 16, I recorded my first song and collaborated with artists like Kímiko y Yordy and Jorge Junior," she recalls. Her latest musical release was last April, titled "Mentiras bonitas"—a bachata track that resonated well with her fans. Stay with us until the end, where we share the complete music video.

Looking ahead to 2025, Hallel is focused on producing more music. "This year, I'll be diving deeper into music. I sing various genres, but I'll be focusing on international styles and collaborating with several Cuban artists if all goes well," she reveals.

Apart from her musical career, this Havana native has also carved out a niche in the world of social media. "I began creating humorous content about five months ago, focusing on how men behave," she told CiberCuba.

Currently, Hallel boasts over 236,000 followers on Instagram. When asked if she plans to become a full-fledged influencer, she replied, "I love creating content, so if that's what it means, then yes." It's worth noting that this influencer side of her is what caught Tekashi's attention and what has stirred up the online world.

One particularly intriguing aspect of Hallel Genesis's content is her now-famous catchphrase, "oe cómo dice el coro." Curious, we asked her about the origin of this phrase, and her answer was surprising. "It came about one day while I was literally sitting on my bed with a friend. We were creating a video about how men act, and I spontaneously said, 'Oe cómo dice el coro.' The phrase was well-received, went viral, and now, I'm known as the girl who says 'Oe cómo dice el coro,'" she admits with a laugh, acknowledging that it has become her trademark.

While we inquired whether Tekashi 6ix9ine's flurry of compliments and declarations caught her off guard, she only responded with playful smiles. However, one thing is certain: Hallel enjoys humor and positive vibes on social media, as evidenced by her dancing to the viral "Cocodrilín" trend. No wonder Tekashi is smitten—he's completely head over heels!

And now, as promised, here's the music video for "Mentiras bonitas" by Hallel Genesis:
