Cuban reggaeton artist Jorge Junior, cousin and legal representative of the late El Taiger's family in Miami, provided clarity on the ongoing inheritance process in a live broadcast this Sunday. He explained that handling inheritances in the United States requires a significant amount of documentation to determine the rightful beneficiaries. The situation is further complicated by the absence of a will left by El Taiger, with the singer's children expected to be the inheritors.
Jorge Junior has faced backlash on social media from El Taiger's fans due to his recent statement that the mothers of the reggaeton star's children must present DNA evidence to claim their rightful inheritance. He clarified, "I didn't request the DNA test; it's mandatory in these situations. I didn't ask for it! There are two children who do not carry my cousin's surname," said the leader of the group Los 4.
Complexities of Inheritance Without a Will
He mentioned a third case, without providing details, but noted that El Taiger had acknowledged paternity to ensure the child's documents were in order. Some individuals accuse Jorge Junior of attempting to control El Taiger's estate. Responding to these claims, the musician stated that he has no desire to be embroiled in such conflicts as he is focused on his career in music.
"I have my own affairs. Why would I take away something meant for his children? That's not the case. I have my work, I have my own," Jorge Junior emphasized, who is currently on tour in Peru with his band.
Addressing Controversy and Ensuring Justice
Several weeks ago, Jorge Junior had announced that he would personally cover the costs of the DNA tests, arguing that this would ensure El Taiger's children receive their due inheritance. The announcement sparked mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a transparent measure, while others deemed it unnecessary during such a sensitive time for the family.
Taking advantage of Sunday's broadcast, Jorge Junior urged the mothers of El Taiger's children to actively participate in the upcoming trial in Miami against Damián Valdez, the individual responsible for José Manuel Carvajal's death. "The most important thing right now is to seek justice for my cousin. Everything else will fall into place for those it concerns," stated Jorge Junior.
