Interview with Yessenia Villanueva
The artist had an interview with El popular in which she recounted details of her life and her tireless day-to-day work. In addition, she commented to her about the relationship she has with Rihanna Cataleya, the daughter that Jhordan left behind before she died.
She claimed to be proud of her effort, and she showed it when asked about the video where she is seen singing on the beach. “For me it is a pride to be a working girl, and not as they are saying that my father supports me. All the artists are going out to look for them whatever. I have a son and I have to keep going for him”, she said, clarifying that she is not ashamed of this work.
She also revealed that she started working when she was a child and that people always support her. “I have been working since I was a little girl, since I was three years old I already worked, and I continue. All the people who know me in Chincha, Pisco, Ica, Nazca, know how hard I work selling porridge, chicha. I’m not ashamed of the job.”
