Former manager of late reggaeton artist El Taiger, Teresa Padrón, expressed outrage on social media this Thursday after discovering that a memorial dedicated to the musician in Miami was completely vandalized. The site, once adorned with flowers, photographs, and the letters LBMA, now stands barren.
Padrón visited the location, situated near the Jackson Memorial Hospital, where El Taiger was tragically left after being shot in the head. In a video, she showcased the extent of the destruction. According to individuals working nearby, photos of the damaged site were sent to her on Wednesday, leading to the conclusion that the vandalism occurred the previous Tuesday.
"I don't care if people attack me, criticize me, or say whatever they want about me. It doesn't matter because I believe in a higher power and know that the truth will eventually come out," Padrón declared in the video. "But it's one thing to hold some grudge against me, and a completely different thing to desecrate something as sacred as this, which belongs to Jose. Anyone who comes here can feel his presence and knows he was left here," she continued.
She emphasized the sanctity of the memorial, calling it a significant act of disrespect by whoever committed or ordered the act. "Let's put an end to the controversies and disputes. It's time to stop tarnishing Jose's name. We should all get along, look after Jose, and care for his family and children because this disrespect has gone too far," Padrón added.
Images shared by influencer Un Martí To Durako even show a woman exercising at the exact location where the memorial once stood.
Recently, Teresa has been at the center of controversy due to her comments on the legal case against Charly & Johyron for using El Taiger's image through artificial intelligence. Additionally, La China Lay, the artist's former partner, criticized her, insisting that El Taiger be allowed to rest in peace.
