Cuevas responded to the viral comparisons with humor and acceptance. In a statement, she addressed the situation saying, “The Chiquitibum… well, guys, what can I do, I can’t just take them off. They had already nicknamed me that in 1986 and it amuses me, I like it.” Her light-hearted approach resonated with many commenters, viewing her response as embracing her fellow Mexicans’ playful spirit.
At nearly one million views, Cuevas’s video has kept her in the public eye. She assured that she doesn’t see the attention as derogatory, stating, “That’s how we Mexicans are.” This attitude may boost Mexico’s morale during the World Cup, where all eyes focus on the nation’s progress.
The viral sensation highlights Cuevas’s ability to connect with her audience while celebrating her national pride.
