The Cuban reggaeton singer known as Seidy La Niña stirred up the networks a few days ago when she shared a photo in which she showed her Cuban passport. Days later, in an interview she gave to Destino Talk, she referred to Cuba as her homeland and highlighted the need for Cubans like her who depend on the Cuban passport to be able to enter the country.
On her Instagram profile, she posted the part where she spoke about the subject in the interview to make her position on the matter clear. Along with the video, she posted a simple message of sentiment towards her homeland. "Cuba lives and will live in me," the dancer expressed.
In the video, she explains that she is American, but was born in Cuba: "I grew up here in the United States, I am American, I grew up here, I live the life I want to live. I think differently, but I will never stop being Cuban, whether you like it or not," said Seidy, the singer of "Mulatica."
He also said that he only showed his document, which allows him to enter his country: "I was born in Cuba, I simply showed this passport in a photo; a passport that unfortunately I have to use to enter my country to see my family and that, for nothing, for no one, I will leave behind."
On her Instagram profile with more than 666.000 followers, many users expressed their support for the singer, while others called her a communist. They also compared her to the late Celia Cruz, who, unlike her, refused to return to her homeland in order to live in freedom.
«That woman is the pride of Cuba, one should never forget one's roots, greetings from Cuba». «Very well, one thing is politics and another thing is that you feel proud of where you are from». «And Celia is the reincarnation! Be pretty and don't pick up the rope. Walk». «Celia Cruz, the woman you admire so much, never returned to Cuba, that's the abysmal difference between her and you». «She's unbalanced, she's out of control». «Seidy, take an example from El Chacal, bring all your people from there, come on, get your body in. Give some people some reason to speak up, don't let them die at the hands of a dictatorship».
The user who calls himself "arleiacero" expressed his feelings on the subject with a message that many Cubans who emigrated identify with. "I can only say that you have earned the love of so many people, that we are the ones who will always wish you blessings and the best. I particularly detest communism or socialism, whatever people want to call it, and not to mention dictatorships," said the Cuban.
The man goes on to say: "I have kept and will keep that blue passport because it is the one that has allowed me to go and bury my family and friends. I will continue to do so until the day comes when they deny me entry or here in the USA, they deny me exit, whether you like it or not."
The urban genre singer said at her first concert in Miami last October: "I left Cuba, but Cuba did not leave me," words that she posted on her social networks. Along with these words, she published images in which she appears dressed in a zaya and a white top and in the background of the stage, the word Cuba with the colors of the flag. The mulatto singer released her new single this Monday, titled "I promise" and already has more than 22.000 views on YouTube.
