Cuban singer Seidy La Niña has responded fiercely to recent comments made by Dayamí La Musa. During an interview on the podcast Destino Tolk, Dayamí stated she wouldn't collaborate with artists such as La Diosa, Seidy La Niña, or Srta. Dayana. This statement sparked significant controversy within the Cuban urban music community, prompting Seidy to voice her disagreement through a video on social media, where she questioned her colleague's stance.
"I understand and respect her opinion that she doesn't need to come to any of us to record," Seidy remarked, acknowledging Dayamí's perspective. However, she challenged the notion that her peers should have to "go to her" for collaboration. "I want to understand why we have to 'go to you.' I want reasons," she asserted, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction and challenging Dayamí's logic.
The Context Behind Dayamí La Musa's Statements
The controversy escalated when Dayamí La Musa took to social media to clarify her remarks, insisting she meant no offense to those mentioned and that her refusal to collaborate was purely a professional opinion. Dayamí emphasized that she holds "no personal issues" with La Diosa, Seidy La Niña, or Srta. Dayana, and explained that her podcast comment was merely a response to a direct question.
Dayamí revealed that she had previously discussed potential collaboration with Seidy La Niña, which ultimately did not materialize for unrelated reasons. She also shared that following the interview, La Diosa reached out to her, upset by the situation. However, they managed to resolve the misunderstanding as Dayamí explained, "they picked the pieces they wanted to heat things up, and everyone interpreted it as they wished." She maintained, "It has nothing to do with La Diosa, Seidy, or Dayana. It was simply my opinion. I believe I have every right."
Amidst the flood of comments and reactions, Dayamí La Musa reiterated her respect for all Cuban urban music artists, emphasizing that she does not wish to engage in unnecessary social media rivalries. "I don't think I'm better than anyone; we all have a lot of talent," she stated, highlighting that for her, this is merely "marketing" and shouldn't be taken personally.
The clash between Dayamí and Seidy has captured the attention of their followers and other artists in the Cuban urban music scene. Beyond the anecdote, this dispute has sparked a broader discussion about the dynamics of respect and collaboration within the Cuban music industry.
