Influencer slammed for 'disrespectful' chocolate tribute to late singer Oliver Tree

A Spanish content creator's attempt to honor the late American singer Oliver Tree with a custom chocolate has backfired spectacularly. Carolina del Carmen Monclús, known online as "Mujer de Buena Pasta," shared a video of her creating a chocolate bar inspired by the musician. The confection featured blue, yellow, and red frosting, colorful sprinkles, and a sleepy-looking blue bear wearing a nightcap.

The video quickly went viral, amassing 25 million views across social media platforms. However, instead of praise, the creation ignited a firestorm of criticism. Many viewers accused the 25-year-old influencer of disrespect and exploiting a tragedy for personal gain and online attention. Comments flooded in, calling the gesture "super unnecessary" and accusing her of seeking fame by capitalizing on a sensitive loss.

"That's not how you do it, it's not a game," one user wrote. Another commented, "Just for fame they mention him now and not when he was alive." Others urged empathy, suggesting that while the intention might not have been malicious, the execution was "in very poor taste."

In response to the backlash, Monclús posted a clarification on TikTok, stating that she made the chocolate because it is what she does best, as a form of "tribute." The incident highlights the fine line between genuine homage and perceived exploitation in the age of social media content creation.
