Comparisons are not always flattering. El Taiger found himself being likened to Tekashi 6ix9ine after a video surfaced on social media showing him throwing money in a nightclub. The footage, shared by the Instagram account Papel Encara, features El Taiger holding two wads of cash, tossing bills to women dancing in the club.
In the background, one could hear "El Punto," a soon-to-be-released track featuring Charly & Johayron and Bebeshito, with the women singing along in unison. This act did not go unnoticed, and the majority of comments were critical, suggesting that the money could have been put to better use.
Public Backlash and Criticism
Comments ranged from, "Instead of buying decent clothes with that change," to "Another one who has to pay to see them." Others added, "He should give it to the poor on the streets," and "Instead of helping needy families in Cuba." A particularly pointed comment stated, "Tekashi 2.0," while another said, "This week's drug money should land him in jail."
The criticism continued with remarks like, "With so many hungry children, this world is upside down," and "What a disgusting supposed artist, buying sympathy." It is clear that many people were not impressed by El Taiger's display of wealth.
El Taiger's Return to the Spotlight
Since his release from prison last August, El Taiger has been very active on social media, generating much discussion and controversy. His actions have kept him in the public eye, but not always for the right reasons.
