Breakout Mexican singer-songwriter Peso Pluma has canceled his event in Tijuana, originally scheduled for Oct. 14 at Estadio Caliente in Baja California. A banner threatening the 24-year-old, whose real name is Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, was posted on a bridge in the border town of Tijuana on September 12th.<\/p>\n
“This goes to Peso Pluma. Refrain from presenting yourself on October 14 because it will be your last show due to your disrespect and loose tongue. You show up and we are going to (break you),” it said.<\/b><\/p>\n
The banners targeting him were signed with initials that belong to the Jalisco Nueva Generaci\u00f3n Cartel, which reportedly prompted local authorities to launch an investigation into the credibility of the threats. A man was arrested after allegedly being caught hanging one of the banners, local media reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The news of the cancelation was confirmed by Peso Pluma\u2019s labels, Double P Records and Prajin Music Group, in an Instagram story on Wednesday. \u201cOur goal is to protect the fans and the team. For the safety of everyone involved, we will cancel our show in Tijuana,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThank you so much to all our fans for understanding. We love you. Sincerely: La Doble P.\u201d<\/p>\n
