The shooting occurred after he made some insulting comments about El Mencho, who is one of the best-known drug traffickers in Mexico and Latin America. «I was a child with a love for drug culture, I was with other influencers who took advantage of the damage it did to my health for their benefit.»

«I was in several scandals and had problems with the police.
