Following the Death of ‘El Mencho,’ Fans are Calling for Peso Pluma to be Removed as an Adidas Spokesperson for Promoting ‘Narco Culture’

This is what the public has been demanding in recent hours, as they have begun to ‘cancel’ several celebrities.

Hassan Kabande Laija, better known as Peso Pluma, is in the eye of the storm, and the public is demanding that his image be removed from the Adidas brand.

Since the death of ‘El Mencho,’ leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), there has been widespread discontent within the community toward some entertainment figures, such as La Doble P (Peso Pluma), whom they accuse of promoting narco culture.

Why do they no longer want Peso Pluma?

The Guadalajara native was one of the most controversial and famous revelations in Mexico just three years ago, when his music burst onto the scene. He was an unparalleled phenomenon; his name dominated the charts, and everyone wanted to know about him.

However, over time, his popularity declined, and although he remains one of the most influential singers, he has taken a break from performing. Controversy continues to follow him due to his early career statements that cemented his success.

Now, with the death of the CJNG leader, the singer is facing criticism for promoting narco-culture in his music and past statements, coupled with questions from the public about his alleged ties to drug trafficking.

This led to demands on social media to remove the Mexican singer’s image from Adidas, arguing that he represents a “shameful” celebrity with his corridos tumbados, which promote violence in the country.

All of this stems from the riots in Mexico following the death of “El Mencho,” which included vehicle burnings, over 200 roadblocks, looting of businesses, and a palpable sense of fear in the air.

They emphasized that Adidas shouldn’t give a platform to public figures who flaunt weapons and violence because it’s part of a system that glorifies the consequences of drug wars, leaving innocent victims in the process.

The outrage over what happened last Sunday has grown exponentially, and indignation in Mexico over the permissive narco-culture among young people is receiving increasing criticism, along with calls for its cancellation.

The truth is, there were also those who defended the singer, arguing that he no longer makes music related to such themes; while others pointed out that blaming the singers was pointless, and some even mocked him, ironically suggesting that Kabande Laija “created the narco-culture.”

“I’m glad that mentalities are finally changing.” “But since narco corridos were banned, he hasn’t sung any of that stuff.”

“Also Natanael Cano and Kenia Os.”

“Even if they say otherwise, it’s the truth… put on a real athlete or artist.”

“Well, we’re on the right track, that’s the right thing to do.”

“But he hasn’t released any narco-themed music lately; he’s only released regular songs.”

“Find a real high-performance athlete, PP (Peso Pluma), what?”

“I didn’t know the narco-themed featherweight division!”
