The beginning of the fight between Residente and J Balvin
The mess between the two artists began when J Balvin criticized the 2021 Latin Grammy Awards, an event in which tribute was paid to Rubén Blades, because he considered that “they do not respect” reggaeton.
“The Grammys don’t value us, but they need us. It’s my opinion and nothing against the other genres because they deserve all the respect. But already the trick is boring. We give them a rating, but they don’t give us respect (Pd. I’m nominated, so they don’t come because I’m hurt),” was Balvin’s comment.
Residente was outraged by his statements and gave a harsh response. “If the Grammys don’t value us, then why do I have 31 awards? I’m not urban, I don’t rap or what genre are we talking about? ”, He said at the beginning.
Then, he compared it to some sausages, which again upset the former member of Calle 13. “Your music is like a hot dog cart, which a lot of people might like, or almost everyone. But when those people want to eat well, they go to a restaurant and that restaurant is the one that earns the Michelin stars,” said René Pérez.
