Puerto Rican reggaeton stars Don Omar and Arcángel have responded to Venezuelan merenguero Omar Enrique after he demanded that international artists apologize to the Chavista regime in order to perform in the country. Enrique had criticized artists for getting involved in Venezuela’s political affairs, claiming they do not understand the reality there.
In response, Don Omar stated that Venezuela needs fewer corrupt individuals, not more concerts, and called on his Venezuelan fans to share their opinions against Enrique. He emphasized the need for a free Venezuela and highlighted the support of Venezuelans who agree with his stance.
Arcángel also chimed in, referring to Enrique as a “fifth class merenguero” and questioning the need for apologies. He emphasized the importance of progress, stability, and quality of life in the country, and stated that he would rather see Venezuela through photos and videos than apologize for speaking the truth.
The controversy underscores the tension between international artists and the Venezuelan government, with artists using their platforms to speak out against political oppression and corruption. The response from Don Omar and Arcángel showcases their commitment to standing up for what they believe in, even in the face of pressure from the regime.
