The Cuban reggaeton artist Chocolate MC took to social media to express his frustration with Randy Alonso, a journalist known for supporting the Cuban government. This came after Alonso mentioned the urban music genre known as reparto during a recent broadcast of the program Mesa Redonda on Cuban Television.
"Randy, are you the one running that plastic table? Before you start talking about me and my reparto, play some dominoes. Is there no content, nothing to discuss? Then dominoes it is," said Chocolate MC, laughing yet clearly irritated by the genre references that he represents.
The artist, famous for hits like "Bajanda," questioned why state-run media would spend time criticizing reparto while the social issues in Cuba continue to worsen. He urged the program's hosts to "play dominoes," implying that they lack meaningful topics to cover on Cuban Television's show.
This outburst from Chocolate MC follows a recent incident where he publicly criticized the Cuban Television for its negative stance on reparto—a genre widely popular among Cuban youth, of which Chocolate MC claims to be the creator.
