This summer is shaping up to be all about merengue at the beaches, pools, and nightclubs. The success of Karol G's new hit "Si antes te hubiera conocido" is a clear indication. The Colombian singer is making waves with her merengue song, but she's also stirred up some controversy. Many claim she has copied Rosalía, who released "Despechá" two summers ago.
If that wasn't enough drama for the start of the season, Yailin La Más Viral has announced she's about to drop her own merengue track. "In just a few days, we'll be dancing merengue. My Chivirikas, have your romo ready," the Dominican singer warned on her Instagram broadcast channel.
This announcement comes after Yailin revealed that she has more surprises for her fans on July 4th, her 22nd birthday. Yailin's first merengue song announcement comes shortly after Karol G's release of "Si antes te hubiera conocido," a track that has put both the Colombian singer and Rosalía in the spotlight. Following the release, Rosalía posted a picture flipping the middle finger with the song "Despechá" playing, a pointed jab many believe is directed at Karol G.
Yailin even commented on Rosalía's post, writing "Despechá" with some emojis in the message board. Social media is ablaze with this controversy between the two artists, while Yailin's fans eagerly await to see what the Dominican star has in store.
