The CNJG cartel allegedly warned Peso Pluma not to come to Tijuana after singing songs about El Chapo.
“It will be your last performance because of your disrespectful loose tongue,” the banners said, signed CJNG, the Spanish acronym for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. A man was arrested after allegedly hanging one of the mantas, local media reported.
Popular Mexican singer Peso Pluma was recently threatened in Tijuana by drug cartel CJNG. The singer who is from Jalico saw this banner reading- “it will be your last performance for being disrespectful and having a tongue, if you show up and we will fucking kill you”.
A Tijuana news outlet, Punto Norte, reports that four banners were placed on bridges across the Mexican city and that a 43-year-old man was arrested in possession of one of the banners.
Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Peso Pluma for comment and more information.
“This goes to Peso Pluma, refrain from presenting yourself on October 14 because it will be your last show due to your disrespect and loose tongue, you show up and we are going to (break you),” the banner said.
Pluma, who performed at the VMA’s on Tuesday night, has not commented on the threat. Several of his upcoming shows have been postponed or canceled, though it’s unclear whether that’s because of the threats.
Peso Pluma’s representatives did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s requests for comment Wednesday. A Mexican cartel has threatened recording artist Peso Pluma ahead of his debut at the MTV Video Music Awards and his Oct. 14 concert at Caliente Stadium in Tijuana, Mexico.
A banner threatening the 24-year-old Mexican singer, whose real name is Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, was posted on a bridge in the border town of Tijuana on Tuesday. It was signed by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, reported The Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY Network.
The 24-year-old Peso Pluma, real name Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, has nearly 11 million Instagram followers and is considered at the avant-garde of the uber-popular corrido tumbado genre. Known for slick guitar riffs, big horns, and a slightly hip hop inspired cadence to his nasally delivery, “El Doble P” is crossing over to audiences worldwide with his love ballads like “Ella Baila Sola.” He appeared in front of U.S. audiences on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and playing Coachella’s main stage earlier this year.
