Oniel Bebeshito chose to bid farewell to the year and usher in 2025 with a heartfelt message to his fans. However, it was evident that his words served as a response to the criticism he faced after his landmark concert in Miami on December 28.
"Here's to a 2025 filled with joy, prosperity, and love. Let's set aside negative vibes, envy, and negativity, focus on ourselves, and allow others to pursue their dreams and goals in peace. Peace, love, and tranquility," expressed the Cuban reggaeton artist in his Instagram stories.
Through this post, Bebeshito made it clear that his aspirations and goals are firmly rooted in his career and music. In the same fleeting session, he took the opportunity to express gratitude to Cuba for shaping him as an artist, to everyone who made the concert possible, his family, and of course, his musicians.
He also extended his thanks to the artists who shared the stage with him, including Wow Popy, Untitico, El Chulo, Charly & Johayron, Alex Duvall, and Lenier Mesa, as well as to those who attended his concert to show their support, such as Alexander Delgado, Jacob Forever, Dany Ome, and Kevincito El 13.
While there's no denying that Bebeshito's concert was a resounding success, filling the Pitbull Stadium, he has faced criticism on social media for not speaking out for Cuba's freedom and the end of the dictatorship. During the concert, the chant "Sufre Otaola" echoed repeatedly, and figures like boxer Yordenis Ugás find it inconceivable that nearly 20,000 Cubans gathered in one place would focus more on Otaola than on demanding freedom for their country and political prisoners on the island.
"A people who hate an influencer more than a communist system and dictatorship cannot be free," asserted the boxer.
