The Mexican artist Peso Pluma is set to perform a concert in Tijuana, and the Mexican cartel is not happy about it. They have issued death threats to the singer throughout the city.
One of them is a banner found on Tuesday morning hanging on a bridge that says: “This is for Peso Pluma, refrain from performing on October 14th because it will be your final performance for being disrespectful and having a loose tongue”.
The last line is difficult to decipher, but it appears to end with: “You show up and we will kick your a…”. It could be translated in several ways, but all of them imply physical harm.
The threatening banner was signed by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a crime syndicate based in Jalisco, Mexico, where the 24-year-old singer was born. The group is led by “El Mencho,” one of the most wanted drug lords in the world.
The threat occurred before Peso took the stage on Tuesday night at the MTV Video Music Awards in New Jersey.
Peso has not yet responded to the threat, but some of his upcoming concerts have been postponed. The one in Tijuana remains as scheduled, and the next one will take place in Nevada at the end of September.
It is unclear if the postponements are due to the threats.
