Cuban singer Ovi appears unfazed by the potential deportation of Cubans, and even his past legal troubles and arrests in the United States seem to be of little concern to him. According to the artist, he has enough wealth to invest a whopping $5 million in the U.S. to secure a "Gold Card," a form of permanent residency for foreigners, as outlined by the program introduced by the Trump administration last February.
The singer hinted at this on his Instagram profile while promoting a new song, showcasing his lavish lifestyle filled with cars, money, luxury accessories, jewelry, and women. "If Trump wants to deport me, I'll buy the Gold Card," Ovi wrote, accompanied by various photos and videos.
Ovi's remarks were met with enthusiasm from many of his followers, who commented: "This guy is really living the life we all dream of"; "The only Cuban making it real"; "Bro, if you can, buy mine too"; "Five million dollars can erase anyone's sins"; "You're truly strong because handling that is tough"; "Who said money can't buy happiness?"; "Don't give Donald any more ideas, he'll take those 5 million in a heartbeat."
The U.S. President has stated that this "Gold Card" will grant foreigners benefits similar to those of a "Green Card," including a path to American citizenship. The initiative aims to attract wealthy individuals willing to invest $5 million on American soil.
Last year, Ovidio Crespo was detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and there was speculation that he might face deportation. However, he was later released.
