He is determined to secure his legacy for the benefit of his children. "The death of my cousin (El Taiger) has made me reflect deeply and draw many conclusions," he shared on Facebook. "I've started organizing everything so that when my time comes, my family won't face the disrespect that my cousin's facing. Every song is now coded and in order, ensuring I can leave peacefully when the time arrives."
The musician revealed he has begun the legal process to ensure each of his children receives a lifelong share of his royalties directly. He also mentioned that each child will have their own bank account, and his musical works will be formally registered and protected.
His heartfelt post touched not only his followers but also his son, Jaide, who responded with a message full of love and admiration: "Sadly, nothing lasts forever, we are born to die, and I can't imagine life without you... You've raised me with everything, even when there was nothing. No luxury or money can replace having you in my life."
Jaide further expressed his deep bond with his father: "I'd rather you leave me all the love and affection in the world. I love you so much, Dad. Legends never die. Besides, why are you thinking about this? You have a whole life ahead of you, and you'll see each of us grow. We love you forever. UNTIL THE END."
