"Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu" (Spanish for "My Little Baby Fiu Fiu")[b] is a parody song by Peruvian DJ and producer Tito Silva Music featuring Peruvian vocalist Tefi C. It was released on May 20, 2022. Its instrumental base is the one in the song "Stan" by American rapper Eminem, which in turn is based on "Thank You" by British singer Dido,[1] which was very controversial.[citation needed] The song deals with the alleged romance and political scandal involving former Peruvian president Martín Vizcarra and Zully Pinchi, a candidate for the political party We Are Peru.[2][3][4]
"Mi bebito fiu fiu" became a social and internet phenomenon. The song tells the story of Vizcarra's alleged infidelity to his wife, Maribel Díaz Cabello, with Pinchi.[5]

Background
The lyrics of "Mi bebito fiu fiu" were inspired by a series of leaked WhatsApp messages that Zully Pinchi Ramírez, a lawyer and former congressional candidate for the We Are Peru political party, sent to Martín Vizcarra. The conversation between them was revealed in the Peruvian TV show Panorama on 15 May 2022.[6][7][8]
The Peruvian prosecutor investigated Vizcarra's trip to Cusco, which included a stay at Belmond Hotel Monasterio.[9][10][11] Gossip magazines picked up the story and published leaked messages.[12]
