Baby Lores said he was forced to leave a plane at Miami International Airport on October 3 while traveling to Cuba to visit his mother, who was in intensive care.

According to Baby Lores, an airline employee told him the plane could not depart with him aboard because someone from Cuba had called to prevent his entry. The musician said he asked why, but the employee said she did not know. He added that Cuban authorities had still not officially explained the reason for the ban.

In the interview with Telemundo 51, he also discussed his former sympathy for Castroism and his change in position. He said he does not intend to erase or embellish that period of his past.
