Pee Wee says he ‘identifies’ with Yahritza after controversy over disparaging Mexican food

Pee-woo shot back before controversy that has been unleashed around Yahritsa and his Essence after controversial statements made by members of that group in Mexico.

Teenagers living in Washington admitted it They didn’t like the food and the Mexican capital. No street noise either.

As a result, a video has also been released on social networks where it can be seen they despise street tacos and drink soda in a bag, a very common way of doing it in this country.

Their statements have caused them to be canceled on social networks, they have been the subject of harsh criticism and some boos have been recorded by the audience at concerts they have given in Mexico.

The scandal reached the point brothers Mando, Jairo and Yahritza Martínez;whose parents are of Mexican descent, came out to apologize, but it seems the public doesn’t forgive them.

Pee Wee reacted to this, saying that he understands them since, like them, he was born in the United States.

What did Pee Wee say about Yahritza and her Essence?

The 34-year-old singer, who jumped on the fame for being part of the Kumbia Kingscompared what is happening to Yahritza and her Essence to what she had to live in Mexico and the Spanish community in its beginnings.

“All I can say is this They are very small, I identify myself because you’ve known me since I started when I was 13,” he said in remarks on “Spectacular Formula with Flor Rubio” this Sunday, August 13.

“They know very well that, being few, Spanish is difficult for usToday I didn’t speak like that, today I speak well” the singer recalled.

“Being born in the United States, even though we have Mexican parents, English is the dominant language in the United States and Spanish was second.”

Pee-woo insisted that it was a lack of “experience” that led the Washington boys to the controversy they are now embroiled in.

” At this age there is still a lot of experienceis the only thing,” he opined, “I I don’t think they don’t want culture or that they don’t love Mexican culture.”

“It’s just that maybe they wanted to say, ‘I don’t like Mexico City because of the traffic, because of this and that,’ but they didn’t know how to decipher it or say it properly,” he reasoned.

“It happened to me, and I’m not going to tell the experience that I’m laughing now and I’m not going to repeat it, that they asked me one thing and I said something completely different and I didn’t say it well and they even made fun of me” he recalled. before his blocks with the Spanish.

To the artist, who is part of the reality show Hotel VIP, premiering August 21 at 9P/8C on UniMás, he was consulted about the rejection that now feels part of the audience for Yahritsa and her Essence.

” It makes me a little strongthey’re young, they’re extremely talented,” he replied, “I think they represent our culture globally, whether they’re Chicano, pochos, they have Mexican roots.

“I I don’t think they’re not proud of itthey just didn’t know how to say things well because the Spanish language is not theirs,” he justified.

What did Yahritsa and her Essence say?

Yahritza and Essence’s controversial statements went viral on August 1 when they held a press conference in Mexico promoting their music and concerts.

” I don’t really like the food here. I like what we live better, in Washington. (There) they give him a seasoning that is spicy and tastes good,” said Yahritsa, 16.

Jairo, 18, then added: “For me it’s also food because I’m sensitive and well almost nothing else like “chicken” (chicken), like wings, not chili, I don’t like any of that. The soda here is also like, I don’t know if it’s less sugar or less carbonation, but it tastes different than there, because there it’s too carbonated, it burns your throat more.”
