A recent clip from the Random Chat podcast has created a lot of discourse across social media, particularly among Puerto Rican and Colombian women. The video captures a troubling exchange between reggaeton artist Jay Wheeler and TikTok creator Frederick, better known online as Flan de Coco. What begins as banter quickly devolves into harmful generalizations about Latinas, exposing a mentality that continues to endanger them both online and offline.

What Frederick Said During Jay Wheeler’s Podcast Was Not Okay

Frederick, the creator who once made women laugh by calling them coconut flans, built a following with short videos masked as jokes and advice. These clips claimed to uplift while reinforcing outdated gender roles. The name Flan de Coco stuck. So did the fame. But in this latest video (around minute 10:20), Frederick crosses into blatant misogyny, contrasting Colombian and Puerto Rican women in a way that erases their humanity and inflames existing stereotypes.

He says Colombian women are “peaceful” and “all love,” then quickly pivots to label Puerto Rican women as “half princess, half fighting rooster.” Worse still, he calls them “men,” as if speaking up, setting boundaries, or demanding respect somehow strips a woman of her femininity. It is a comparison both offensive and dangerous, one that frames emotional expression and resistance to control as inherently unfeminine.

Jay Wheeler, who is married to a Venezuelan woman, froze during the conversation. He offered little resistance. Instead, he nodded in agreement and added that he had heard many good things about Colombian women. He said he had received compliments about them. This moment of silence, this tacit approval, is how these narratives linger and become normalized.

Reframing the Narrative Around Latinas

The idea that submission is synonymous with peace is where Frederick’s words unravel. As a Colombian woman myself, I will say this: I give peace when peace is given to me.

If my environment feels like heaven, peace will be in abundance. If not, does that make me un gallo de pelea? Absolutely. Y a mucha honra. Women are not passive beings sent to soothe chaos. We respond to it. To expect otherwise is not romantic. It is controlling.

This situation is also about safety. According to Puerto Rico’s Institute of Statistics, 60 percent of homicides of women in 2023 were classified as femicides. That year, 55 violent deaths of women were recorded. Nineteen of those were femicides. Over half of the intimate partner femicides involved women between 25 and 44 years old. Disturbingly, 87 percent of those intimate femicides were carried out with firearms. Thirteen of these femicides ended in murder-suicides by the aggressors, a pattern repeated over the past three years. From January to September 2023, five of these murder-suicides occurred in intimate contexts. These numbers reflect a dangerous truth. Women in Puerto Rico are dying, often at the hands of men who claim to love them.

This is why Frederick’s comments are not just jokes. They are rooted in the very same mentality that enables and excuses violence. When women, including Latinas, are told they are “too much,” “too loud,” or “too angry,” it becomes easier to dismiss their pain, justify mistreatment, and ignore the warning signs that lead to tragedy.

Puerto Rican women are not aggressive by nature. No one is. They are often responding to the violence, disrespect, and emotional neglect present in their environments. These environments are shaped by the very men who criticize them.

Calling Out the Harm and Reclaiming the Conversation

Calling women “men” for standing up for themselves is not a preference. It is misogyny. It is a rejection of autonomy disguised as opinion. To suggest that Colombian women are better simply because they appear more submissive reinforces a harmful binary that punishes women for existing in their full emotional range.

When men like Frederick label Puerto Rican women “roosters” or “men,” they reduce us to caricatures and erase the violence that often shapes our responses. It is not only dehumanizing. It is dangerous. These ideas help uphold a culture where women are expected to endure, to tolerate, and to serve quietly, no matter the cost.

And yet, women are watching. Speaking. Resisting. Because peace should not be conditioned on submission. Respect should not be earned through silence. And our femininity is not up for negotiation.

Until creators like Frederick are held accountable for the harm they cause, this cycle will continue. Words shape beliefs. Beliefs shape behavior. And behavior, when left unchecked, has consequences. In Puerto Rico (and in many countries around Latin America), those consequences are fatal. It is time we call these comments what they are. They are not jokes, but threats disguised as humor.
