The Cuban singer Ja Rulay has once again become a hot topic on social media after a photo of him posing with wads of cash started circulating. This controversial image follows a video where the young artist flaunted a new car in Cuba, saying: "It looks like we're over there, but we're here. Stop the nonsense, not even you over there live like this." Some users recalled this phrase when they saw the picture of Ja Rulay sitting with the bundles of cash on his lap.
On his account @jarulay_elperro, the photo has received mixed reactions. Some criticize the artist for his ostentatious display and urge him to show humility, while others defend him and point out that other celebrities like Anuel AA are praised for similar actions. Comments include, "Congratulations on your hard work, but you should show charity to those in need. Instead of showing off your success, help those who truly need it," "That's $200 in total," "Now Anuel posts pics like this and Cubans call him a true millionaire, but a Cuban posts them and gets criticized. It's not easy with you guys," "It looks like you're over there, but you're here with that Cuban money, flaunt American dollars. That money is worthless here," "Speechless... it's horrifying to see these images. No one cares if you have money or not. Clearly, you lack something. Humility above all else," and "I love you, but you need to be more humble."
