Cuban influencer Eduardo López Cardoso, widely known as El Flaco, has swapped his luxurious Lamborghini Urus for a black Honda, sparking a flood of reactions and even some ridicule across social media platforms.
The buzz began when his friend Miguelín shared a video featuring El Flaco behind the wheel of the Lamborghini, accompanied by José José's song "Lo que no fue no será." Shortly after, Miguelín posted another video, this time of El Flaco driving the Honda, with the caption: "The bull of the Lamborghini got weird," referencing the iconic bull logo of the Italian car brand.
El Flaco, taking the situation in stride, humorously addressed the comments by joking that he had simply changed the tires on his Lamborghini.
A glimpse inside the Honda, as seen in one of El Flaco's Instagram stories, reveals a steering wheel adorned with the brand's chrome logo, orange stitching, multifunction controls, and a digital dashboard with green indicators suggesting it could be a hybrid model.
Community Reactions to El Flaco's Car Switch
The news gained further traction when fellow Cuban influencer Un Martí To Durako shared a post about the vehicle change, mentioning that the Lamborghini Urus now belongs to singer Wow Popy. This post prompted a flurry of diverse opinions from followers.
Some speculated that El Flaco's recent split from Cuban model and influencer Juliette Valle might be linked to the car swap: "See how bad it is to depend on women," one commenter noted. Another echoed, "This is what happens to those who rely on women."
Others used the opportunity to critique the spending habits of Cubans living abroad: "Some people just don't learn; they come to this country and start showing off, forgetting they were in flip-flops back in Cuba," one user remarked. Another added, "Cubans want to spend more than they earn."
Advice was also shared: "Buy what you can afford, guys. It's better to drive something older but reliable. Blessings."

El Flaco first made headlines with the Lamborghini Urus in March, drawing criticism for flaunting a vehicle with a price tag between $230,000 and $280,000.
Despite the ongoing speculation about his financial status, El Flaco appears to handle the chatter with the same nonchalance as his previous Lamborghini remarks: "It's gone and took my heart with it."
