“I went to Spain to give some concerts, it occurred to me to talk about one of my preferences, I like diversity, right? I'm not afraid, I like diversity but my deepest preference is teenage girls, right? That they still have the face of public ministry, yes, look it is better to go to the boat for a little girl than for the breathalyzer, I know what I tell you. And the girls you see, name, well feminists told me: 'but uncle, how is it possible that you like 16′ and I from 'your boyfriend also likes them just that they don't leave him in your country, that's the difference'”, were the alleged words of Oceransky in the audio shared by Twitter user @anhele.

In this regard, Oceransky regretted the smear against him and explained that he did not understand why some media disseminated the accusation as a truth and without “the slightest respect for the human right of “Presumption of Innocence”, because according to the singer, there is not a single legal complaint against him and his concerts are canceled without a substantiated explanation.
