The Mexican singer and songwriter Óscar Maydon became a trend on social media after a threatening narcomanta related to his upcoming concert in Aguascalientes was discovered. This situation generated a wide variety of reactions from users, who expressed their concern for the artist's safety and speculated about the possible implications of this threat in the corridos world.
Maydon is recognized for his style within the corridos genre, a subgenre of regional Mexican music that tells stories of everyday life, with a special emphasis on conflictual events and the lives of drug traffickers. Throughout his career, he has managed to connect with a wide audience thanks to his characteristic voice and lyrics that reflect aspects of reality in Mexico.
Unfortunately, these types of threats are common in the corridos scene, where music is not only seen as entertainment but as a means of expressing the harsh reality of certain segments of Mexican society.
Regarding the narcomanta, the Instagram account @chamonic3 was responsible for spreading the threatening message directed at Óscar Maydon. Following this action, the singer decided to cancel his performance in Aguascalientes to safeguard his safety and that of his team.
The threatening manta, which warned Maydon not to perform in Aguascalientes on February 8, made clear its intention to deter the singer from proceeding with the concert citing alleged illegal activities. In light of this situation, the artist's followers expressed their concern for him, even though Óscar Maydon has not made any public statement regarding the matter.
