Peso Pluma faces drug cartel threats not to perform at Tijuana’s Caliente Stadium: ‘It will be your last show’

Peso Pluma was warned not to perform at an upcoming show next month at Caliente Stadium in Tijuana, Mexico, in a trio of banners hung around the city and allegedly initialed by a drug cartel.

The 24-year-old musical artist, who is on his Doble P Mexico Tour, will take the stage there on October 14.

According to TMZthe banners were signed by Jalisco New Generation Cartel and read: ‘This goes to Peso Pluma, do not present yourself on October 14 because it will be your last show because of your disrespect and loose tongue.’

The news broadcast Punto Norte reported that the cartel had initialed each banner.

The controversy surrounding the singer – who performed at the MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday – could be related to his corridos tumbados, a hip-hop corrido that makes allusions to crime and drugs.

That’s what the authorities said The San Diego Union-Tribune that a total of three banners were found and that one person was arrested in connection with the banners.

The Baja California attorney general’s office has launched an investigation into the banners, Tijuana Security Secretary Fernando Sánchez told the newspaper.

Based on the results of the investigation, officials will decide whether or not to cancel the concert due to safety concerns, Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero told the newspaper.

Caballero told the newspaper that the singer has not been in contact with city officials due to the recent threats.

According to the newspaper Frontera, Caballero has in the past debated the ban on corridos tumbados concerts in Tijuana due to the normalization of violence.

TMZ reported that Peso Pluma has postponed some upcoming shows — it did not say why the shows were postponed — but is scheduled to play the Reno Events Center in Reno on September 28.

Peso Pluma will perform in nearby Chula Vista, California at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheater on September 30.
