The Cuban Layma L. Escalona, known on social media as La China Lay, formerly in a relationship with reggaeton artist El Taiger, erupted in her Instagram Stories against Teresa Padrón, the artist's former manager, for continuing to mention him publicly more than six months after his passing.
"Respect is stopping the conversation about a deceased person... it's been more than 6 months, let them rest," wrote the influencer, visibly upset by what she considers a continued exploitation of the artist's image to generate content on social media.
In the published messages, La China Lay criticizes Teresa's insistence on constantly reminding everyone about El Taiger and warns that if the situation continues, she herself will publish unreleased audios, photos, and videos of the reggaeton artist in an attempt to "clear everything up once and for all."
The artist's ex also harshly criticized the use of vulnerable family members of the singer, accusing Teresa of even using El Taiger's grandmother, who suffers from senile dementia, to create monetizable content
"Stop using José's grandmother... to create reels and monetize. Don't talk about Magda; you never knew her," he claimed in another story, referring to the singer's mother.
La China also stated that Teresa was never a close figure to the artist and accused her of profiting from his death: “The only one who has profited from his death is you… and to top it off, now you’re an influencer. Holy God, how can you?”.
As a response, Teresa Padrón shared a video in which El Taiger is seen claiming he would tattoo her name, which has been interpreted as a way to reaffirm the closeness that supposedly existed between them.
The battle among the women who were part of the life of the late reggaeton artist seems endless and continues to spark controversy on social media, while fans are calling for respect for the memory of José Manuel Carvajal Zaldívar, artistically known as El Taiger.
