The Cuban singer Lenier Mesa was clear in stating that he does not intend to collaborate musically with his colleague Ramón Lavado, better known as Chacal, due to personal tensions between the two.
During a recent interview with the Cuban YouTubers from the channel Chisme con Flow, Lenier made it clear that there will be no collaborative song with the reggaeton artist. "I will never record with Chacal," he stated.
The artist explained that the decision stems from derogatory comments that, according to him, Chacal has made about him: “When I went to Cuba, he talked trash about me too. I can't record with people who talk trash about me when I don’t speak ill of anyone or get involved with anyone,” he stated.
Lenier also recalled an incident in which Chacal, allegedly intoxicated, recorded a video criticizing him. “He made a video while extremely drunk talking about me, it's funny how he is,” he said, hinting that their relationship is far from reconciliation. So far, Chacal has not publicly responded to these statements.
Although he did not provide specific details about the content of that video, Lenier suggested that the incident marked a definitive breaking point in any possibility of reconciliation or artistic collaboration between the two representatives of the urban genre.
Additionally, the interpreter of "Cómo te pago" also discussed his relationship with the Cuban reggaeton artist Dany Ome, with whom, as he explained, he maintains a good relationship despite not currently working together.
He attributed this pause in the collaboration to external influences, mentioning that the distancing "seems" to be related to the Cuban singer Jacob Forever.
Lenier, who has been involved in various controversies in recent months, continues to maintain a posture of public non-aggression towards his colleagues, although he does not hesitate to distance himself from those he believes have crossed certain boundaries.
