‘Come on, just a greeting’: Members of CJNG asked Dross for a message for ‘El Mencho’s’ daughter

Dross, a YouTuber and influencer, revealed that he received a message from members of the CJNG requesting him to send a greeting to the daughter of the notorious drug lord ‘El Mencho’.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel DrossRotzank, influencer Ángel David Revilla, known as Dross, discussed an unusual correspondence he received from members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). He shared details of a message sent to him more than two years ago, in which the cartel members, presenting themselves as fans, asked for a greeting to be sent to the daughter of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, famously known as ‘El Mencho’. This request highlights the bizarre intersection between popular culture and organized crime in Mexico.

Dross noted that despite the potential risks of revealing this nexus, which his producer and close associates cautioned against, he considered the story interesting and worth sharing. He emphasized that the message had been deeply personal, as it struck close to home for him, even if it seemed unsettling. The peculiar request serves as a reminder of how cartel figures and their families are often brought into the public eye, creating a complex and dangerous blend of celebrity and criminality.

The revelation also raises questions about the implications of such requests on influencers and content creators, especially in terms of their responsibility towards their audience and how they manage the narratives they propagate. Dross’s decision to disclose the correspondence from the CJNG demonstrates the fine line that influencers walk in the age of digital media, where engaging narratives can come at a cost, especially when they involve individuals with substantial legal and moral ramifications.
