Billboard Latin Music Awards Witnesses Lupillo Rivera’s Powerful Protest Against Diddy 

Latin Billboard Music Week 2024/ Gustavo Caballero

Lupillo Rivera made a bold entrance at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards, using his outfit as a platform for an urgent message. The Regional Mexican artist arrived in jeans and a black blazer, but it was his eye-catching t-shirt emblazoned with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ face and a striking red X that stole the spotlight. This shirt, which was designed by Rivera himself, reflected his firm stance on an issue close to his heart. 

Why Lupillo Rivera Decided to Speak Out Against Diddy

In an exclusive statement to Billboard Español, Rivera explained, “I wore this shirt because I don’t like people playing with the dreams, feelings, and desires of people who are just starting out in the entertainment world.” He expressed a sense of urgency regarding the darker side of the industry.  

Rivera’s comments resonate particularly in light of recent events surrounding Diddy, who was arrested on September 16 on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Despite pleading not guilty, Diddy has been denied bond and will remain incarcerated until his trial begins in May 2025. 

“I take it personally because I am a musician and a singer, and there are many new colleagues who are emerging on this path of music life,” Rivera said. “These are acts that should not be done and I do not support them.”  

Artists Taking a Stance on Important Issues

Artists have a unique ability to shine a light on critical issues, and Lupillo Rivera’s recent actions are a great example of this. While the allegations against Diddy are still unfolding and remain unproven, we can’t overlook the serious implications, especially for the women and minors reportedly involved. Rivera’s choice to speak out is a powerful statement of support for those who often go unheard. Many in our community can relate to that struggle. 

All in all, let’s hope justice is served soon.
