Since last Thursday, when it was reported that El Taiger was in critical condition after being shot in the head, a wave of heartfelt messages has flooded social media from Cubans wishing him a speedy recovery. On CiberCuba's Facebook pages, thousands of comments have poured in from users expressing their concern over the Cuban reggaeton artist's dire situation.
Regardless of whether they are fans of his music or not, or their opinions on his controversies and struggles with addiction, the predominant sentiment is one of hope for his recovery. "Though many of us do not know him personally, he is an artist who has been close to almost every young Cuban. His music, his controversies, and his presence on social media made us aware of his existence. For some time, he seemed completely out of control, displaying signs of uncontrollable addictive behavior. These issues rarely end well. Let's hope he recovers for himself, his daughters, and those who genuinely care about him. Only a miracle can save him now, and we know who to ask for miracles. Wishing him a speedy recovery and a healthy soul," one user wrote.
Another commenter shared, "What can be said about this? It's truly overwhelming. We must leave everything in God's hands. He is just another human being, with flaws like everyone else, but human nonetheless. Have mercy on the children he might leave behind and on us, his followers who greatly enjoy his music. Now is the time to unite in prayer, all of us pleading for his miracle and recovery."
Many of his fans, besides hoping for his recovery and accountability for the perpetrator, eagerly await his return to the stage to enjoy his music once again. They also hope he will distance himself from controversies and legal troubles.
Currently, it is known that El Taiger remains in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where he is on life support.
