Regional Mexican singer Panter Bélico performed songs dedicated to prominent drug cartel leaders El Mencho, El Chapo, and El Mayo during an official Independence Day celebration event in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, on the night of September 15.
Panter Bélico is an artist born in the United States and raised in Culiacán, who earned his nickname from consistently wearing black.
Following his performance, past remarks made by the singer resurfaced regarding his rationale for performing narco-corridos, in which he asserted that "there always has to be a permission." The event and his song choices have also placed him at the center of controversy after reportedly receiving threats from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
