Teresa Padrón, manager of the Cuban reggaeton artist Jose Manuel Carbajal, known as El Taiger, who was murdered in Miami, criticized the planned tribute for the artist at the Fiesta Latina 2024, where attendees will be expected to pay for entry.
"While his ashes are going to Cuba so that his people and family can say their final farewell. It's heartbreaking that no one could contribute even a dollar for his wake or for anything else, and now there's a tribute charging people?! I don't understand anything! My silence and patience won't last much longer," Padrón said in response to the announcement made on Instagram about the event.
In another post, the representative deemed it a "lack of respect" and stated that she would not tolerate "another insolence towards Jose and his daughters, son, and family."
"I will defend you until my death; there is no money that can buy my loyalty to you," added El Taiger's manager, who concluded by assuring that she will "fire back at anyone who tries to take advantage of you."
The death of El Taiger, one of the most popular reggaeton artists from Cuba in recent years, both on the island and abroad, has shocked thousands of people in recent weeks and sparked speculation pointing to his team for allegedly "not taking care of the musician."
The Fiesta Latina will take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Saturday, October 26, featuring guest artists such as Feid, Sebastián Yatra, Wisin, Manuel Turizo, Chencho Corleone, María Becerra, and a special performance by Black Eyed Peas.
Dj Conds will also be there; he was a friend and had worked with El Taiger.
The event - tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster - will be hosted by Enrique Santos, who stated that a tribute will be paid to the Cuban reggaeton artist, one of the leading figures of the so-called Cubatón.
Two days ago, Padrón bid a final public farewell to the reggaeton artist following his funeral, which took place on Saturday, October 19, at the Catholic Church of San Lázaro in Hialeah, Florida.
Through her social media, the young woman shared a heartfelt message expressing her grief over the loss of her friend and close collaborator: "We have said our final goodbye to the most wonderful man I have ever known in my life. It was a pleasure to be your friend, your manager, your support, your confidant, and more," she wrote in her emotional message, revealing the deep connection she had with the artist.
The message, which expresses both gratitude and sorrow, continues: "I am grateful to God for putting you in my life; I will miss you for the rest of my life. Always, José."
