“Marca Mandarina,” the song by Bebeshiro and El Taiger, has not only become a musical hit but also a popular way to describe someone or something as either amazing (mango) or lacking (tangerine), both physically and professionally. Following this trend, Yulién Oviedo took it upon himself to rate Cuban artists as mangoes or tangerines during an interview on “Destino Tolk.”
Without hesitation, he classified El Chacal, El Chulo, El Taiger, Charly & Johayron, L Kimii, Jorge Junior, Candyman, Wow Popy, and Insurrecto as mangoes.
However, not all artists were so fortunate. When the hosts mentioned Chocolate MC, Yulién's response was unequivocal: “Tangerine, dried up.”
He referred to Bebeshito, with whom he has recently had some clashes, as a “ripe mango on the verge of rotting.”
When asked about Seidy La Niña, the singer called her a “mamoncillo,” refusing to classify her as either a mango or a tangerine.
There was only one artist Yulién declined to rate: La Diosa. After a heated controversy between them, he chose not to address the topic.
