It took less than two days for Pollito Tropical to stir things up. The Cuban influencer, whose real name is Randy Álvarez, made a lively entrance into Alofoke's House, immediately clashing with Santiago Matías, better known as Alofoke, the producer and host of the popular Dominican reality show.
The tension began with what seemed like an innocuous remark. Pollito commented that the previous season's winner, influencer Darileidy Concepción (also known as Crusita), won "by playing the victim." This statement was enough to ignite a charged atmosphere and set social media ablaze.
"What do you want me to do, fight with people? I came here to be myself," Pollito retorted, visibly frustrated during the exchange with Alofoke. The video capturing the moment went viral in mere hours, amassing over 1.5 million views on his Instagram account.
Alofoke responded, accusing the Cuban influencer of attempting to replicate Crusita's winning strategy. Pollito vehemently denied this: "That's not true. I said I heard Crusita won that way, but that doesn't mean I plan to do the same," he replied candidly, staying true to his straightforward style.
For those who need a reminder, Crusita clinched victory in the first season with 203,080 points, earning a million Dominican pesos, a brand-new Mercedes-Benz, and even a bonus for winning an educational contest within the show. Her triumph continues to be a hot topic among the show's fans.
With this fresh controversy, Pollito Tropical makes it clear that he didn't join Alofoke's House to blend into the background. Known for his authenticity, vibrant energy, and a hint of drama that captivates his audience, it seems Pollito's journey in the show is just beginning to unfold.
