On that occasion, the little boy tells his relative that one of his cousins, with whom he is hanging out in a swimming pool, said something rude, and the boy, with his characteristic tenderness and innocence, points out that he is not going to repeat the ‘curse’ . The aunt then replies that this makes God cry.
However, the audio was resumed at the end of 2022 in the exact part in which he calls the sister of one of his parents, but in humorous content on social networks with which they called people of African descent, as well as for animals and objects of black colour.

This action caused a controversy among users of social networks because for many the innocent expression of the child was perverted in a way of discrediting the Afro community.
Even the renowned influencer Tishell made a strong reflection on the way in which that expression of the little boy so loved in Colombia and that has transcended borders had been used.

The Office of the Attorney General of the Nation indicated that apparently the subject entered with the 19-year-old mother forcing her against her will, for which reason justice is requesting it with new charges.
“I don’t know if they realize how racist this trend is, I don’t know if they realize that people are not interested and don’t care about hiding their racism, plus they are a black child. I imagine that if this trend were used with a white child, it offends them because ‘he’s a child’, but when it’s a black child, identity is lost, respect is lost, (they say) ‘it doesn’t matter, let’s abuse him, his identity, their accent, their physical appearance,’” he said.
But it was not until Friday, December 20, that another video of the boy from the Chocoan capital became popular from Yanfry’s official Instagram account, in which even his aunt Paola appears to denounce how that phrase was turned into a racist expression.
In the improvised short of less than a minute, the minor goes hand in hand with a neighbor from his neighborhood in Quibdó and greets some friends from his block who shout at them: “Aunt Paola!”
Then Yanfry asks them: “Why do you call me that?” To which they reply that it is because he has Aunt Paola’s color. He then goes to his relative – which is seen on the screen for the first time, since in the original video that sparked the controversy only her voice is heard – and together they go to make the other children reflect.
“What you said is racism,” Yanfry told them, holding hands with the sister of one of his parents, who also reprimands his nephew’s friends: “Do you know the damage they can cause to other children and other people? You have to think to speak!”
The minors apologize and in the end they all come out together pronouncing the phrase: “No to racism”.
Through a video on social networks, they asked that they no longer use it on social networks because they turned it into a racist expression.
