The TikTok creator known as cubitabella09 didn't hold back as she ignited social media with a video detailing what she considers to be the worst aspects of Miami. From her arrival at the airport to the notorious traffic and poor customer service, she described her experience as "total chaos" and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
In her video, @cubitabella09 started with an apology: “Forgive me, my friends, for what I'm about to say; I hope I don't offend anyone.” But she quickly launched into a full critique: she lambasted the poor condition of the airport walkways, the behavior of immigration officers, traffic worse than New York's, and what she described as a general "rowdiness" in some areas. She even went as far as to label Miami a "jungle," citing episodes of violence and the deplorable state of bathrooms in certain establishments.
An Unfiltered View of Miami
Regarding customer service, she didn't mince words: "They treat you like you're in Cuba, with a bad attitude, talking on the phone, and even telling you to ‘wait a moment there.’” She also pointed out the large number of homeless people on the streets and questioned why so many choose to remain there: “Folks, move away from there; you're stuck in the mud.”
The video quickly sparked a wave of reactions. Many users supported her, like one who commented, “We left Miami four years ago, and it was the best decision”; while another added, “Miami is Cuba without the ration book.” However, some questioned her perspective: “I've been here 32 years and wouldn't trade Miami for anything.”
Responses and Reactions
The debate continued in the comments, where cubitabella09 clarified that her criticism comes from years of visiting the city: “My son lives in Miami, and although I don't like it for living, I visit every two months.” She also responded to those who doubted her experiences: “I go to Miami Beach, to Hialeah, I know the area well. I'm not speaking without knowledge.”
Despite the criticism and ongoing debate, many agreed with her on key points, such as the deterioration of Miami's airport and the negative atmosphere in certain areas. “The airport is in ruins,” one user commented; while another summarized: “Miami is Cuba, but with food.”
Is Miami a Gem or a Jungle?
Amidst the controversy, cubitabella09 stood by her words and maintained her stance: “Things are as they are.” What about you? Do you think Miami deserves such criticism, or does it remain the jewel of South Florida?
