The Cuban reggaeton artist Yomil has shown his support for his colleague El Taiger, who was recently released after spending more than three weeks in prison. Through an Instagram story, Yomil shared a message expressing his happiness about El Taiger's release, while also advising him to reflect on what happened.
"Manito @el_taiger, I'm happy to see you back on track. I believe this setback has ultimately been for the best, as you've been very fortunate considering everything you've been through," Yomil wrote.
"True friends won't laugh off everything, and if they give you a hard time, you need to listen. You have a lot of good people who care about you, but you also need to take care of them and let them help you. I know what happened to you has served as a lesson, and it's up to you to keep things moving in the right direction. Big hugs, manito, and keep going strong because that's what you're best at," he added. The message was accompanied by a photo of the two together.
El Taiger's Legal Troubles
El Taiger, whose full name is José Manuel Carvajal Zaldívar, was arrested on July 28 for armed robbery and assault. His first appearance on social media after being released was a brief video in which he recited a fragment of the "Versos Sencillos" by José Martí, which has been interpreted as a possible acknowledgment of the support he received from close friends.
During his time in jail, El Taiger received support from several colleagues in the urban genre. Two days ago, the reggaeton artist El Yonki shared a reflection on social media along with a photo of them together, recalling the difficult times they've both faced.
"My brother, this photo came up in my memories today, and I truly miss you. Now that you're in a place where silence and doubt abound, remember that even the hardest questions have answers," El Yonki wrote.
"The world judges us mercilessly, especially us artists, without understanding the causes or the daily struggles we face. But you are a great man, a great human being, and I know you will come out of this as the best version of yourself. You know you have a brother here who supports you unconditionally, and I publicly thank you for supporting me when few others did," he added, highlighting El Taiger's strength and their friendship.
Other artists like Yulién Oviedo and Dany Ome also showed their solidarity with El Taiger during his incarceration. Oviedo posted a photo of the two embracing on stage, writing, "Asere, you're loved from the heart because we've come a long way since those dreams that seemed impossible back then. I hope you're back on the streets soon, my bro, making music for everyone to enjoy your art." Dany Ome, for his part, shared an image of the singer with the message, "Never forget @el_taiger. Free the man, wherever he is."
With this message, Yomil not only expresses his joy for his friend's release but also reminds him of the importance of making the right decisions to avoid future problems and continue his musical career. Now, his followers will be watching closely to see how El Taiger navigates this new chapter.
