Cuban reggaeton artist Yomil Hidalgo has expressed his frustration on social media after being denied a U.S. visa for the third time. In a post on his Instagram account, he suggested that Alexander Otaola might be behind this latest setback due to his political connections. "It seems he asked his congressman friends for a favor, and with just one call, the Americans get all riled up," Yomil alleged, accusing Otaola of leveraging political ties to block his entry into the United States.
Despite his frustration, Yomil remains determined not to give up. He highlighted the efforts of his legal team and the company @musadeleyendas in the appeal process: "The lawyer has worked super professionally and diligently on this, and we've already filed the appeal," he stated.
In his message, Yomil also issued a direct challenge: "Now I'm the one eager to confront him. It happened once before, and this time won't be any different. You all know when I arrive, I make an impact. God's timing is perfect."
The feud between Yomil and Alexander Otaola dates back to 2018 when Yomil slapped the TV host in a Miami store. Since then, the two have been involved in ongoing public disputes that show no signs of abating. This third visa denial poses yet another hurdle for the artist, who had planned a tour in the United States to reconnect with his fans.
Despite this latest setback, Yomil remains steadfast in his resolve to address the situation in person once he secures the visa. Will he succeed?
