Argentine rap star Dillom went viral on Thursday after he posted a video of himself confronting a libertarian influencer known as “La Pistarini” on a plane, after the man posted a photo and insulted him on X during the flight.

While on board, the 23-year-old rapper found an X post in which the person managing the X user @La_Pistarini lamented sharing the flight with the artist. 

“The last thing I needed was to share a flight with that a**hole Dillom,” read the post by the Trump and Milei supporter, which included a picture of the artist on his plane seat. 

Upon reading the post, Dillom asked the poster to come forward for a face-to-face. “Good thing you don’t show a photo of your face or I’d find you and go slap you,“ wrote the rapper, adding that nobody had come forward when he called the “troll” out.

After exchanging messages with some of his followers, Dillom was able to identify the man behind the account, and walked up to his seat to confront him while filming. 

“Are you Pistarini? The one who uploads pictures of me on Twitter? Do we have a problem?,” Dillom can be heard saying to the libertarian troll, who remained in his seat and tried to avoid confrontation.

“You’re not so tough now, uh? Behave, a**hole,” Dillom added before leaving.

The video quickly went viral, and transcended to mainstream news outlets, which also reported the incident. 

X accounts associated with the Javier Milei administration have been known to harass and attack people both online and in the real world, whether by “doxxing” or actual threatening them. The Dillom incident was seen as proof that some members of these groups — described as a government digital militia — act tough while hiding behind online anonymity but are unwilling or afraid to act when confronted. 

Who is Dillom

Born Dylan León Masa, Dillom rose to fame in 2018 when his first single “Drippin” got fifty thousand views on YouTube within a couple of weeks of its release. He also collaborated with Grammy winning producer Bizarrap in 2019 and is currently one of the top Argentine rappers. In 2024 he released “Por Cesárea,” his second studio album, featuring Argentine pop star Lali and rock icon Andrés Calamaro.

In February 2024, he came under the spotlight during the Cosquín Rock festival, when he changed part of the lyrics to the song “Sr. Cobranza” — made famous by 1990s band Bersuit Vergarabat — to trash Economy Minister Luis Caputo, singing “Caputo should be killed in a public square.”
