Almost a year after the death of the Cuban reggaeton artist El Taiger, his cousin Jorge Junior —leader of the group Los 4— has shared an intimate and moving reflection on how that loss created a turning point in his life, prompting him to reorganize his legacy for the benefit of his children.

“The death of my cousin (El Taiger) has made me think a lot and draw many conclusions,” he wrote on Facebook. “I have already started to put things in their place so that tomorrow there won't be this disrespect that is happening with my cousin. Each song with its code where it belongs, and I will put everything in order so that when my time comes, I can leave in peace.”

The artist explained that he has already begun legal proceedings so that each of his children will receive, directly and for life, a percentage of his income from royalties. He also detailed that each minor will have their own bank account and that his musical work will be formally registered and protected.

The post not only moved her followers but also her son Jaide, who replied with an emotional message filled with love and admiration:

"Unfortunately, in this life, nothing lasts forever; we are born to die, and I swear I can't imagine a life without you… You have raised me my whole life, with everything and nothing. All the luxuries and all the money in the world cannot compare to the value of having you alive. There is no greater desire than to someday be able to do as you have: enjoy what I love while still being able to support a family without it lacking anything."

In his message, Jaide also reaffirmed his bond with his father:

"I prefer you to give me all the love and affection in the world. I love you so much, Dad. Legends never die. Besides, why are you thinking about that? You have a life ahead of you, and you will see each of us grow. We love you for life. UNTIL THE END."

The post generated hundreds of reactions and supportive comments that highlighted the singer's responsibility in anticipating and preventing future family conflicts. Phrases like "family first" and "long live Los 4" were echoed among the messages from fans.

The death of El Taiger left a deep mark on the world of Cuban reggaeton, and his impact is still felt among those who shared the stage and familial ties with him. For Jorge Junior, the loss became a powerful wake-up call that prompted him to make important decisions: ensuring the well-being of his children, taking action while alive, and leaving his artistic legacy in order.

The leader of Los 4 is the father of five children. His eldest son, Jaide, is also part of the group. He is also the father of Melany and Nicole, whom he had with Yarelis Calzadilla; of Nanda, born from his relationship with Patricia Claudia Pérez; and of the youngest, Asia, his daughter with Claudia Hernández.

The family experience following the death of his cousin has visibly influenced his actions. El Taiger left behind four minor children, each with different mothers, and his passing led to a legal process for the distribution of his estate.
