Following weeks of uncertainty after his arrest in the United States, Cuban reggaeton artist El Chulo has reemerged on social media with a message that caught the attention of his fans.
The musician, whose real name is Abel Díaz Rodríguez, posted a video on Instagram teasing new music and making it clear that he is focused on advancing his career. In the video, he appears upbeat as he introduces his upcoming track, "La Mamá de Toto," which he announced will be released this Friday.
In addition to the video, El Chulo revealed that he is currently in Mexico, where he plans to boost this new phase of his musical journey. "The swagger in Mexico tomorrow at 5:00 pm directly from Mexico with my crew," the singer wrote.
What truly grabbed attention was the statement accompanying his announcement, which many interpreted as a direct nod to his recent immigration ordeal: "Now to travel the whole world... what they did to me was a favor."
This comment comes weeks after the reggaeton artist was detained by ICE agents at his home in Homestead, Florida, due to a deportation order against him. After spending several weeks in immigration custody, he eventually opted for voluntary departure from the United States.
Now in Mexico, El Chulo seems determined to turn the page and start afresh, betting on his music and maintaining his connection with fans as he embarks on a new chapter in his artistic career.
