“He’s a person, in my experience, one of the most humble I’ve met in my life. If you take character into account, because a person who has that kind of power, to silver, Normally you imagine that they are arrogant people, that you can’t even say hello when you don’t know them. Quite the contrary.

Actor’s great friend Rafael Amaya, whom he supported in his drug detox process, said that the manners of the famous capo impressed him and assured that he was not afraid of being criticized for the fact:

“He is one of the most educated people I have ever met. Many may say ‘you are güey what you say’, but I don’t care what they say, mother purititita, because I am speaking from my experience. The others had another experience, each (…) Always a cool person to me. “, He added.

Tapia said that one of his races, The son of the tuna, which is an allegory for El Chapo, is the theme that the dark character liked the most, because it brings back memories of his childhood and youth.

“(I met him) because of the music. He said ‘hey, and this race, who gave you the information?’ for the man always spoke very seriously, but that was his way. And he told mee ‘the truth is, I want to tell you that this is the race that I like the most that they made me’ and I say, ‘no, the truth is for me it’s a privilege, thank you very much’. And he says’ no, it’s because this corrido reminds me of everything I’ve been through, he’s talking about my children, my son who is gone. Talk about when I was selling oranges, when I was really fucked up and I had the illusion of being someone in life, and it all brings back memories. That’s why I like it, ”he recalls.

Mexican-American singer took as an example the boxer Julio César Chávez, who in the past has also revealed his closeness to a drug lord.

“As Chavez said when he was criticized ‘And what’s wrong with him?’ they’re human, he said. “I’m his idol, he loves boxing.” Well they love music, and what do we do, not only have I met him, I must have met several“, He assured.

Tapia, 40, also said that although he worked for various cartels, prefer to stay out of any problem, because he sees only the accomplishment of his work:

“Blessed God I’ve never been forced anywhere and everywhere they tell me I’ll be there, it’s my job and I have no other business, I live off that and everywhere I had to sing at all the posters, and that’s his job. And if they file a complaint with some, with others, with the government, that’s fart …

Finally, he remembered when the Capos Reynosa had hired him to sing at an event, but they conditioned him not to sing corridos alluding to a rival group.

“At the time, years ago, I had to sing for those in the Gulf cartel there in Reynosa, and the first thing they said to me was “I’m going to ask you a favor, don’t sing a Zetas series.” And I say ‘no, my respects, I don’t know any, in fact I don’t know any of you, with all due respect, Culiacán cigars’. And they said to me ‘bosses, bosses, everyone sings here’. That’s the treatment they gave me. “
