Singer Natalia Jiménez arrived at a private event in an ambulance. This case caused controversy and debate on social media, which led the artist to offer an explanation accompanied by her manager and husband, Arnold Hemkes. After Natalia Jiménez arrived at singer Carlos Rivera's birthday party in Mexico in an ambulance, the former La Quinta Estación vocalist appeared in a video on social media to clarify the situation. Last March, the Spanish singer was in Mexico to perform alongside Chetes, former member of Zurdok, during the Vive Latino 2026 festival. For this reason, Natalia Jiménez arrived in an ambulance. According to Arnold, “Natalia has been presenting with prediabetes for several months now.” “I don't like to talk about my medical issues, and I always try to see the positive side and leave a positive message on social networks,” she said. Hemkes explained that “videos don't always show the reality of things or everything that happens,” but are only “seconds” of what the singer shares with her audience. “That afternoon Natalia had a commitment to do a duet with her friend Chetes (...), she was not feeling well. However, we wanted to give this explanation so that it would be known what the background of the situation is and the care we want to take with Natalia's health,” he explained. “These complications come not only from prediabetes but also from the long workday she is exposed to, the tours, and that sometimes there are no healthy food options, which complicates her health status,” he added. He recounted that at that time Natalia decided to maintain a positive attitude and continue with her commitments, even with discomfort: “She was not feeling well, but on stage she transforms.” “We wanted to tell you that we love you very much, thank you for the constant support, and that we will see you very soon on the tour,” expressed the singer. The original plan was to leave Vive Latino and take a helicopter from AICM to travel to Puebla,” he detailed. Hemkes explained that, due to the singer's discomfort, they had to modify the plans: “We made the decision because a few months ago, she had a case of dehydration, which ended her up in the hospital and she spent a night under supervision.” Due to concern for the artist's health, they decided to transfer her to a hospital south of Mexico City, where they would assess if she could continue her trip to Puebla. Her team rented a private ambulance for her to be supervised during the trip and for a doctor to make a decision in case hospitalization was required. “This could have confused many people, and we understand that. If one day you see me looking unwell, then you already know why,” she joked. In addition, she detailed that after arriving in Puebla by air, they traveled to Huamantla, Tlaxcala, the hometown of Carlos Rivera.
