Lightweight boxer he spoke as he had never done before of late death threats made against him in Tijuana and that they would have forced him to cancel his concert in that city.
In the early hours of September 12, banners with threatening messages directed at the singer appeared in three different areas of this border town.
They warned him that if he offered him the concert scheduled for October 14 in Caliente State, would violate its integrity.
A week later, the record label Peso Pluma announced on social media that this concert and those in other cities were canceled.
Featherweight is speaking out for the first time after receiving death threats
For the first time the singer spoke about this in an interview he gave to the New York Times and which was reproduced in Spanish by the newspaper Reforma this Sunday, October 8.
” There are many things that are false and many that are not,” said the 24-year-old.
“I feel safe”, He assured, “the most important thing is to be close to God and I think that’s why I feel safe. For me it’s more of a spiritual thing.”
George Prajin, their manager, added that they took every threat seriously: “I want to make sure that you are not only financially securebut also to take care of their mental and physical health and of course their safety.
” You can’t go anywhere without being very safe.; I will not allow it,” he warned.
Some speculated that the threats would come from a Mexican criminal group linked to drug trafficking. Featherweight is part of the corridos tumbados movement, a style often associated with narcocorridos.
” He will never stop singing these songs because that’s what he grew up with, the culture he grew up with,” said his manager, though he clarified that now the youngster is exploring new horizons with his music.
“I see him definitely going in a different direction in terms of the music he sings. There’s a lot of love songs, a lot of different fusion,” he noted.

In the same interview with the New York newspaper, Peso Pluma also talked about what his meteoric rise to fame was like and what it did for him emotionally.
