In a recent conversation with Yuliet Cruz, El Chacal opened up about the challenges he faced with his previous management, led by Boris Arencibia. He successfully navigated these difficulties to emerge as an independent artist. Yet, someone else is laying claim to the rising success El Chacal has experienced in both his music career and entrepreneurial ventures—Alexander Otaola.
During one of his broadcasts, the Cuban commentator reacted to the reggaeton artist's interview: “I appreciate this new version of El Chacal. The only downside is that he's signed with Manuel Milanés, but this focused Chacal seems to have adapted, almost like he woke up to the opportunities in this country.” Otaola continued, “He’s become a capitalist. Doesn't this capitalist, business-minded Chacal look even sexier now?”
True to his style, Otaola humorously claimed credit for the artist's success: “Like he says, I learned, thanks to me getting Boris (Arencibia) locked up. El Chacal said he was resigned to how things were going, but I came to save you. When are these people going to give me credit?”
Otaola emphasized his role in Arencibia's arrest, stating, “He can't admit that it's because of me, that I sent Boris away for a long stretch, 40 years to the Federal system, that this man is free again. How hard is it for them to acknowledge that?”
The Cuban promoter and businessman was apprehended last year by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He is currently held in a federal prison, facing a potential sentence of 40 years for his involvement in a massive scheme involving stolen pharmaceuticals and money laundering.
