Date: September 25, 2025
Host: Chente Ydrach
Guest: Jannel (a.k.a. Janel Música), accompanied by Dipper
Overview
This episode of Masacote by Chente Ydrach centers on the viral story of the young Puerto Rican influencer and streamer, Jannel, following his much-talked-about (and admittedly tongue-in-cheek) "arrest" and "release from prison." What unfolds is a rowdy, irreverent, and laugh-filled conversation dissecting Jannel's online trajectory, content creation hustle, experiences going viral, and comedic approach to both controversy and notoriety on Puerto Rican social media.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. The Viral "Arrest" and Public Reaction
- Chente opens by acknowledging his past internet "beef" with Jannel, admits he felt some schadenfreude at the news of Jannel’s arrest, but asserts:
“Tú no puedes celebrar las caídas del prójimo… tienes que luchar por la verdad.” [01:23]
- Jannel's take:
“Mucha gente me quería ver mal, papi, pero ahora estamos aquí...” [02:54]
2. Jannel's Content Journey
- Jannel started creating content as a kid (9-10 years old), inspired by Spanish YouTubers like AuronPlay and El Rubius.
“Había mucho españoles. La era de YouTube empezó como que de España. AuronPlay, Rubius, no sé si sabes quiénes son, pero ahora mismo son los más.” [08:09]
- He’s accumulated and lost multiple social media accounts over the years, highlighting the chaos and grind of the influencer hustle.
“Yo he tenido varias cuentas de un millón, pero las he vendido. Me las quita, me las tumban.” [10:36] “La vendí como en dos mil pesos...” [10:43]
- TikTok doesn’t pay much—most earnings come from sponsorships or brand deals rather than the app itself.
“En TikTok tú no haces tanto. Chao. Tú haces dinero afuera de eso…” [11:19]
3. Going Viral: Recipe for Internet Hits
- Jannel’s most viral video:
“Top 10 cosas que metería las bolas. 24 millones tiene ese video.” [14:19 & 14:32]
- His secret: relentless video production and shamelessly saying whatever comes to mind.
“Hacía antes como 10 videos al día… veinte, treinta en un día.” [13:16, 13:31]
4. Jannel’s Humor & Persona
- The show is packed with raunchy, boundary-pushing humor. Chente observes Jannel’s comfort with internet crudeness and how modern virality often rides on shock value (e.g., “mamabichos” and jokes about abuelitas and urinals).
- Memorable bit: Jannel recounting his horror story of getting his scrotum stuck in a zipper and needing doctors/firefighters to help ([15:52-16:41]).
5. The “Sou” Phenomenon
- Origin of the viral "sou" audio and meme:
“Yo estaba en New York con mi amigo Dipper... Estaba medio showcito... Empezamos con el show. Sou. Y ahí fluyó.” [47:29]
- “Sou” started as an in-joke, meaning "not cool," but has become an all-purpose catchphrase.
6. Music, Movies, and Ambition
- Jannel expresses a desire to venture into music, comedy, film, podcasting, and more:
“Quiero hacer películas de comedia flow… bien hecha… Mi sueño es hacer de todo.” [27:22, 43:16]
- He already releases music and maintains a secondary YouTube channel.
7. The Reality of the Influencer Life
- Jannel discusses the repetitive stress of content creation and the pressure to stay relevant:
“Ya me aborrece. Ya lo que hago es subir video y ya.” [39:44]
- Conversation about the transient nature of viral fame and how easily accounts and popularity can be lost.
8. Personal and Support Network
- Girlfriend Yaniushka and tattoos:
“Tú estás tan comprometido en el amor que… voy a ponerme tu nombre en el pecho…” [24:05]
- Dipper, Jannel’s friend, shares his loyalty and support during the arrest drama.
“Verlo en esa situación es como… qué bonito ver que en tus momentos más oscuros… llega la amistad.” [22:47, 23:06]

“¿Qué te alegra? Las pajitas.” [38:38]
“Un Philly.” [38:42] - Gripes: lateness and dishwashing ([36:46–37:52]).
11. Concluding Reflections
- Chente encourages Jannel to avoid further run-ins with the law. Jannel promises:
“No voy a hacerme más casquetas por ahí. Lo siento. Yo creo que hoy me voy a retirar de las casquetas en público.” [51:25]
