A few weeks ago, a video of a supposed arrest of Yulién Oviedo in Havana started circulating on social media. However, it was merely a recording for an episode of the Cuban police drama "Tras la Huella", although the artist himself fueled the speculations.
In the footage, the singer is seen with a bleeding head, resisting arrest, and confronting the police, leading many to believe it was real. During that time, Yulién shared a post on his Instagram, further stoking the rumors: "A man is not measured by how many times he falls, but by how many times he gets up. The important thing is that I am fine and my family is too. I will have news for you soon."
The media outlet CubaHerald contacted Cuban YouTuber Adrián Fernández, who confirmed that Yulién called him to explain that it was all a setup for the episode of the police drama and that he even stayed out of the public eye for a day to later reveal the matter as an exclusive.
"That image leaked, and he asked me not to say anything with all the intention. So, the mystery is solved; he wasn't arrested or beaten, for everyone who was concerned," the influencer assured the media.
From early June, coinciding with the 63rd anniversary of the Ministry of the Interior, until August 25, the channel Cubavisión will air new episodes of "Tras la Huella," including this one where Yulién showcases his acting talents.
