In a heartfelt musical tribute, Chocolate MC joins numerous Cuban artists in honoring the late El Taiger, who passed away on October 10. Known as the King of the Reparteros, Chocolate MC took to Instagram to share sneak peeks of the music video for "Desconfianza," a track dedicated to El Taiger. The video was filmed near Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, the location where the reggaeton artist was discovered after being shot in the head.
Though the song's lyrics remain unreleased, the visuals in the video powerfully convey its message. Chocolate MC reenacts what might have transpired in the hours leading up to El Taiger being found critically injured in the back of a car. The incident involving El Taiger is still under police investigation, but it seems Chocolate MC has drawn on publicly available details to craft "Desconfianza."
Facing criticism for allegedly exploiting El Taiger's situation for personal gain, Chocolate MC was quick to respond on social media. "Are all tributes now going to be accused of using José?" he questioned. "For God's sake, respect his memory and don't try to do to me what you were doing to him just the other day. That's why he was so depressed, thanks to all of you," he wrote in a message directed at the radio station Ritmo 95.7.
