Cuban reggaeton artist José Manuel Carvajal Zaldívar, known as El Taiger, was detained early Sunday morning on charges of forcible robbery, assault, and cocaine possession, according to the police report. The popular singer was reportedly arrested at 5:41 am on Sunday.
The circumstances of the arrest remain unclear, but influencer "Un Martí to Durako" suggested that El Taiger was allegedly accused by his girlfriend. The police report details that a bail of $1,000 was set for the first two charges and $2,500 for the drug possession charge. He is currently held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGKCC).
The artist has gained international recognition in the reggaeton scene with several hits. His latest success, "Marca Mandarina", features a collaboration with another musician from the island and could be the song of the summer, already surpassing 11 million views on YouTube.
Despite his musical achievements, El Taiger faces a challenging legal landscape in the United States. In June, the reggaeton artist was arrested for driving with an expired license and committing another offense, and in April, he was detained in Miami-Dade for possession of substances and alcohol.
