Jhayco explains the story behind the phrase about Nodal in ‘Rosita’: ‘It was taken out of context’

Jhayco addresses the backlash related to Rauw Alejandro's new song 'Rosita' and defends the lyric referencing Christian Nodal.

Following the controversy generated by the release of 'Rosita', the new song by Rauw Alejandro, Jhayco, the Puerto Rican composer behind the lyric 'I am leaving and marrying you like Christian Nodal', provided clarification amid negative comments. He emphasized that his intent was misinterpreted, asserting that the line was taken out of context.

The backlash intensified after Argentine rapper Cazzu criticized the song on her blog, highlighting the problematic nature of the lyric and accusing the songwriters of perpetuating a narrative she termed ‘the legendary camaraderie among men’. Cazzu pointed to deeper issues surrounding abandonment related to Nodal’s past decisions, particularly impacting his daughter Inti, and emphasized the need to focus on the real victims of such narratives, rather than dismissing them.

Jhayco's comments come at a time when discussions about accountability in lyrics and their impact on listeners, especially regarding topics like family and abandonment, are increasingly relevant in the music industry. The exchange reflects a broader conversation about the responsibilities of artists in their storytelling, particularly in relation to sensitive subjects and the implications of their words on personal lives.
