The use of artificial intelligence to represent El Taiger during the concert by Charly and Johayron at the Watsco Center in Miami continues to spark controversy. This time, the voice raised was that of Teresa María Padrón, the late artist's former representative, who shared a series of Instagram stories expressing her disapproval of the virtual tribute done without the consent of the family.
“What happened last night (though beautiful and exciting) was not approved by the moms or the heritage,” she stated. “The right to do something like that belongs to them and not to others.”
Through strong messages, Teresa questioned the legitimacy of recreating El Taiger on stage using artificial intelligence and made it clear that the event organizers had been notified beforehand that they did not have permission to use his image
"Everyone on the team and those involved in the event were notified days in advance that they did not have permission to do that, yet they still chose to proceed. So, who is in the wrong?"
"I care about looking after José, his children, and his family above everything else."
Far from seeking the spotlight, Teresa made it clear that her sole motivation is the well-being of the artist's family, especially his children.
“I don't care about pleasing the artists and their teams. What matters to me is doing things right and always looking out for José, his children, and his family above all else.”
In another post, he added:
"People only remember José at concerts, and nothing else. Stop trying to excuse the convenience. And that’s it!"
He also emphasized that any use of El Taiger's image must be guided by respect and legality, and in any case, it should provide a direct benefit to his children, who were left unprotected after his death.
"José left behind four creatures that need to be cared for. The right to do something like that belongs to them. No one is taking care of the children or their family. Therefore, it is not fair for them to use his image, much less to create an AI with José."
Teresa also came to the defense of those whom she believes have truly fought for the artist: “The people who have fought the hardest for José legally have been the Barreto lawyers. Don’t talk about people you don’t know and who you don’t understand everything they have done for José, his children, and his family. Respect!"
With the slogan "Always José," which she repeated in all her publications, Teresa reaffirmed her commitment to the legacy of the reggaeton artist and his family.
