Peso Pluma Cancels Multiple Concerts Amid Cartel Threats

by

Peso Pluma, the wildly popular Mexican musician, rescheduled several concerts this week without warning. Shows between September 15 and 17 in Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Birmingham were quietly axed. Furthermore, ticketing sites promised a rescheduling date. At the time of writing, Pluma is next scheduled to perform in Chula Vista, California on September 30.

No official reason has been given for the cancelation. However, many believe it is related to the cartel death threats Pluma received earlier in the week. As Pluma attended the VMAs on September 12, a number of banners appeared around Tijuana, Mexico. “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,” one of the banners read. Several of the banners were signed with the initials of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación. JNG is of the largest cartels in Mexico. Mexican authorities are investigating the credibility of the threats.

Why Is The Cartel Targeting Peso Pluma?

According to Tijuana mayor Montserrat Caballero, Pluma and other artists become cartel targets through their music. “Let’s be clear: They sing and make an apology of crime and thus they should know the risk and consequences,” Caballero told the New York Times. Furthermore, Caballero said the decision to cancel Pluma’s October 14 concert would be based on whether the investigation determined the banners, locally referred to as narcomantas, to be legitimately from a cartel. Additionally, Pluma has been recently criticized by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Obrador took issue with “AMG”, stating that “As if material things were the most important things — brand clothes, houses, jewelry, power or arrogance.”

However, Pluma is not the only musician who has faced threats from the cartel. Natanael Cano recently stopped midway through “Cuerno Azulado” and declared that it was “going to get him killed”. The song makes reference to drug deals, government corruption, and even infamous cartel leader El Chapo. As far back as February, ticket vendors have been offering refunds for Pluma’s Tijuana show. This option was offered due to “due to insecurity and threats towards other events.”

Pimp C’s Widow Clarifies Hurricane Chris Death Threat Claims

by

Last week it was reported that Pimp C had allegedly threatened Hurricane Chris after being left off the remix of “A Bay Bay”. “This how the remix come about,” Chris told My Expert Opinion, “A million people send verses in. Everybody in the game. But my relationships with Birdman, Lil Wayne, um Boosie — people that I respect on the West Coast were E40. The people I respected over here [East Coast] were Jadakiss.”

“So, I had a verse from everybody. From everybody you could think of in the world. But the West Coast, I like people like the Game. So, I was only able to pick a few people,” he added. “I had Baby, The Game, E40, Jadakiss, Boosie, Angelo from my city — on the remix. But, it really was the entire industry that sent me a verse. If I were to play you all the verses right now it would be everybody in the rap game from Jamaicans to Spanish people to Pitbull to Beanie Man.” However, Pimp C’s widow is now refuting the claim that Pimp C threatened murder over the snub.

Pimp C Wanted To Murder A Beat, Not A Man

In a post on Instagram, Pimp C’s widow Chinara Butler addressed the claims made by the media. “it’s almost accurate but not so! Now he was pissed and the verse is 🔥🔥🔥 but he just wanted to know who he was about kill on the song ! 🤣😂🤣🤣.” Butler also spoke on the matter in a video. “What had happened was, the A&R, Chris, whoever emailed the song, Chad got the song, or I get the song,” Butler began. “I burn it on a CD, give it to him, he go to the studio, I think it’s probably within two days, he drop his vocals, send it back to them, and probably within two days later, the A&R calls him and says ‘Yeah, you [not] making the remix because you took too long to drop the vocals, which we knew wasn’t true.”

“So that’s when he lost his shit and he was like, ‘I’m going to kill everybody on the remix,’” she continued, “and he was gone do a remix of ‘Ay Bay Bay’ and he was gone call it ‘Ay K K’ which I thought was hilarious. But um, he wasn’t gone kill ya’ll in real life. He probably just wanted to see who ya’ll was. That’s it, you know, wanted to see who he was about to diss.” So there it is – no actual death threats, just a little bit of venting about being left off a remix.

Selena Gomez Claims Hailey Bieber Reached Out About Death Threats

by

The alleged drama between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez reached a peak this week upon Selena telling followers that Hailey reached out to her, saying that she received death threats as a result of their alleged social media spat. Moreover, for those not caught up, many believed that the pop star’s girlfriend threw shade at his ex via Instagram, and a lot of that speculation possibly is what caused the “Only Murders In The Building” star to take a social media break. However, things took a nasty turn when people started speculating more and more.

In fact, now Gomez is telling her fans (and all the Hailey haters) to stop sending death threats and more hatred her way. Of course, she never advocated for such in the first place. “Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on Friday morning (March 24). “This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.”

Hailey Bieber Told Selena Gomez That She’s Receiving Death Threats

What’s more is that this is the first time she directly addressed this recent firestorm, although she seemingly spoke on it indirectly earlier this month. “Please, please be kinder and consider others’ mental health,” she wrote in a TikTok comment. Also, she expressed a heavy heart, presumably over people trashing Bieber for “stealing” her ex and allegedly throwing shade. Overall, the situation got out of hand fast, and is a prime example of the dangers of fandom and specifically reading too much into media posts. While this kind of story has followed both women for a while, its most recent focus dragging Kylie Jenner, eyebrow posts, and other factors into it doesn’t make it any less gross to propagate with such ire.

“It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship,” Bieber said on the Call Her Daddy podcast last September. Moreover, she referred to attacks that she took Justin away from Selena. “I would just never do that. I’m not interested in doing that and I never was.” Furthermore, she expressed that her and Selena have a lot of mutual respect for one another. Hopefully this situation doesn’t fake a feud to provoke a real one, and they can move on with their lives. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez.
