Kuki Delgado, daughter of Alexander Delgado, the leader of Gente de Zona, took to Instagram to share an emotional message for the reggaeton artist El Taiger, who is currently hospitalized after suffering a gunshot wound to the head.
In her heartfelt post, Kuki highlighted the deep bond her family shares with the artist, whom her father introduced to her as "uncle" when they first met. Despite any past disagreements between El Taiger and her father, Kuki conveyed her admiration and respect for José Manuel Carvajal. "Even though in this genre, friendships are rare, what you had with my family went beyond that. Despite any past differences, you hold the same significance for me because you've always earned my respect both as family and as one of Cuba's finest," she expressed. The young influencer also praised El Taiger's character, acknowledging him as a good grandson, son, father, and friend.
Widespread Support Amidst Uncertainty
During this time, when many Cubans are anxiously following El Taiger's condition, Kuki admitted to feeling both anxious and hopeful about his recovery. "With immense faith, I believe you can come back at any moment," Kuki stated. She also mentioned that his fellow artists are eagerly waiting for him to recover. "I know you'll be okay because you need to witness everything you've achieved throughout your career. Even those who once had differences with you are waiting because they realize the genre isn't the same without you. Everyone cares for you deeply, José Manuel."
Concluding her message, Kuki, who sees herself as a fan of the man she respects and loves like a brother, passionately urged El Taiger to recover. "Rise up, TRANKA," she encouraged. Alongside her post, Kuki shared several screenshots of her conversations with the singer and a video of them enjoying a night out together.
