Amid the controversy sparked by the incident involving Oniel Bebeshito and a fan who jumped on stage during his show in Camagüey, and the subsequent announcement of the cancellation of all his concerts, support messages from loved ones, fans, and colleagues have poured in.
Just hours ago, after the reggaeton artist announced on social media that all his concerts on the island would be canceled starting July 15 and asserted that no obstacle would prevent him from staying focused, artists like Wow Popy and Michel Boutic publicly expressed their support.
Public Support from Fellow Artists
"In the past, our music was only found in the streets, and we saw real violence. It seems they want us to go back to that. Whatever decision you make, I'm with you," Wow Popy commented on the post, which was also filled with love and support messages from Oniel's wife Rachel Arderi and his mother Chabela.
This Monday, after images surfaced showing security members removing a girl who had approached the reggaeton artist from the stage, Oniel responded with a statement.
"Personally, I've had to swallow everything being said about me, whether it's mistreating women or whatever. The people who were at the concert know the truth about what happened. I don't need to explain or give my opinion on anything," he said through his stories.
"My conscience is incredibly clear, knowing that I belong to the 5% of men who have never laid a hand on a woman. I was raised by women. But that's something I'll never discuss, especially not with people who only comment when it's something negative," he added, stating that he hadn't seen how the girl was "removed."
