The Cuban reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito has become the center of a hilarious viral moment that seems destined to become a meme of the moment. While staying in Los Angeles, his wife, Rachel Arderi, captured a video of the singer attempting to order room service over the phone. What should have been a simple task was complicated by a language barrier: the hotel staff didn't speak Spanish, and Bebeshito's English is still developing.
The result was a genuine communication challenge, blending Spanish with improvised English, leading to the now-viral phrase: "What time missing?" "Are they outside? Ah, no Spanish. Food. Eat. Time. How do you say food in English...? Time. Food. Room service. Yes. Time. They haven't arrived. It's time. What time missing?" Bebeshito is heard saying over the phone, maintaining his patience while speaking with the staff, as his wife records and laughs in the background.
The video quickly became a viral sensation, garnering thousands of reactions and comments from fans who have turned his phrase into a social media phenomenon: "How many times did he say 'time'?"; "He just wanted to eat, poor thing"; "Classes start Thursday with the teacher"; "Give him a 'time,' he's only been in the U.S. for five months"; "Hunger is fierce, but English is fiercer"; "He should release a song with 'time,' it's already viral."
Bebeshito's Rising Fame Amidst Language Hurdles
This amusing incident took place at a hotel in Los Angeles, where Bebeshito was staying after participating in Calibash 2025, one of the most significant Latin music festivals in the United States. The reggaeton star had the opportunity to perform at the Crypto.com Arena, sharing the stage with renowned artists such as Wisin, Myke Towers, Eladio Carrión, and Alex Sensation. His performance not only increased his international visibility but also demonstrated that his music is crossing borders.
"We're gradually reaching new audiences," Bebeshito mentioned in an interview with La Familia Cubana, emphasizing the importance of this achievement for his career.
The Calibash 2025 edition, initially scheduled for January 18, had to be postponed to March 7 due to wildfires in California. As a show of solidarity, the organizers decided to donate part of the event's proceeds to the affected communities.
Now, after his stint at this prestigious festival, Bebeshito is back in the spotlight, not for his music, but for his unique approach to handling the English language. With his natural charisma, he has turned a simple food order into an iconic online moment. And you, "what time missing?" to watch the video and join in the laughter.
