The uproar on social media following the lawsuit announced by the mothers of El Taiger's daughters against the urban duo Charly & Johayron has sparked intense reactions, including that of the singer Wow Popy, who came to defend the tribute performed at the duo's latest concert, where El Taiger's image was recreated using artificial intelligence without permission.
The gesture, although emotional for many fans, has been classified as a disrespect by the mothers of the deceased artist's daughters, who are now planning to take legal action for the use of his image without consent.
In the midst of the controversy, Wow Popy commented on a post from Un Martí To Durako featuring the family's lawyer, expressing his opinion candidly: "You already know. The first thing you should be concerned about is whether Jose would have gone to the concert while he was alive, and I think he would have. Then, not so much about how much it cost to make this happen, but rather the love that was put into it.”
“It's fine if you don't agree with what was done, but you know what? I haven't seen you, ma'am, talk about that Damián. The tranka will always be with us, whether you like it or not. Justice for Jose,” added Wow Popy, addressing the lawyer representing the mothers of the daughters of the deceased reggaeton artist.
Although the use of artificial intelligence to revive deceased artists has sparked ethical debates on an international level, in this case, the dilemma is intensified by the strong emotional bond the public had with El Taiger and the legal component that comes into play.
So far, neither Charly nor Johayron have made formal statements regarding the lawsuit, but their fans continue to show massive support, convinced that the gesture was made “with love” and not for commercial purposes.
