Santo Domingo.– Actor and comedian Fausto Mata generated controversy after issuing a “sorry” loaded with sarcasm towards the urban exponent Yailin La Más Viral, whom he claimed not to consider an artist with merits, despite recognizing her global impact.

"As an artist it doesn't work... I don't accept you as a star, but I have to admit and accept that the world gave it to you," Mata expressed in statements that have provoked reactions on social media. Despite his criticisms, he also clarified that the singer does not consume prohibited substances, denying versions that were circulating. The statements were offered during an interview on the program Politiqueando RD, hosted by Emilio López and Raeldo López, where the humorist addressed various topics of entertainment, politics, and his personal life. During the conversation, Mata reiterated that he usually generates controversy because he defends his truth. In that context, he clarified that he is not against Santiago Matías as a person, although he is against some of his actions, despite recognizing that he has placed the Dominican Republic "on the world map" and whom he also described as "the father of modern communication".

Mata also addressed personal aspects, pointing out that he doesn't have a manager because he doesn't take orders, and confessed that he went through a depression after his last relationship, added to family situations. In addition, he indicated that he is "cleaning up" his social networks, blocking users and filtering his content.
