José Manuel Carvajal Zaldivar, known in the reggaeton world as El Taiger, was arrested in the early hours of Friday for driving with a suspended license and committing another offense. Records from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGKCC) indicate that the arrest occurred at 3:10 a.m.
Carvajal Zaldivar, 36, faces multiple charges, including possession of cocaine and driving with a suspended license. The data, following the issuance of the judicial arrest warrant, suggest that authorities set a bail of at least $2,500 for the Cuban reggaeton artist's release.
Although El Taiger could be at home at this time, he will eventually have to appear in court. The artist has gained international recognition in the music scene with several hits in the reggaeton genre. His latest hit, "Marca Mandarina," is a collaboration with another musician from the island and has the potential to be the song of the summer, already surpassing 11 million views on YouTube.

This Friday’s arrest has caused a significant stir among his followers on social media, with many expressing concern over the artist's situation.
