The singer Peso Pluma became a topic of conversation again in recent hours after statements made by journalist Luis Chaparro, who claimed that the artist was financed by the cartel and was involved in illicit activities. Chaparro mentioned that sources from organized crime and agencies in the United States corroborated this information, and stated that the money obtained had already been laundered and distributed.
In an interview with Gusgri, Chaparro pointed out the complexity of stopping Peso Pluma due to the difficulty of tracking the laundered money. Furthermore, he revealed the existence of a supposed "Peso Pluma curse" in the journalism world, where those who write about him may face persecution in Sinaloa.
The journalist explained that authorities in the United States have open investigations into Peso Pluma, although he could not verify the information directly due to the confidentiality of such inquiries. It was also mentioned that during the singer's trips to the U.S., he undergoes long inspections by authorities.
Luis Chaparro, a journalist specializing in drug trafficking and organized crime with over 15 years of experience, is recognized for his work in the border areas between Mexico and the United States, especially in Ciudad Juárez. He has collaborated with various media and currently produces a podcast where he narrates stories about foreign criminals captured in Mexico.
Peso Pluma, whose real name is Hassan Emilio, is a world-renowned singer in the Mexican regional genre. Despite the accusations linking him to organized crime, the artist has maintained a low profile while waiting for the defamations against him to cease being of interest. Additionally, he has a blog called SAGA where he shares news and reports of his authorship.
