Danna Paola has become one of the leading voices in Mexican pop thanks to hits like «Idiota» or «Mala Fama.» She recently released «XT4S1S» and «Tenemos Que Hablar,» two songs that serve as an introspective preview of her upcoming album, one of the most anticipated releases of 2024.
Among the many virtues the singer and actress possesses, Danna has shown that she has character and is very clear when expressing herself. We saw this recently when the performer of «Aún Te Quiero» shared her opinion on Mexican reggaeton in an interview. And we can tell you in advance that it’s not exactly positive.

Danna Paola, Against Mexican Reggaeton?
Pop and reggaeton are genres that have always had a love-hate relationship, both for their styles and the themes they present. However, Danna’s reasons for her stance against the urban genre in her home country are quite different.
«I have to say it, especially Mexican reggaeton. Lately, some intense things have been happening with certain lyrics that have crossed the line. It’s no longer funny.» This way, Danna emphasized that the themes in some songs belonging to Mexican reggaeton are unacceptable, especially considering the social situation behind this issue. «In such a sexist country, let’s not promote that in songs.»
In this way, the singer has spoken out about a recurring complaint within reggaeton: the controversy surrounding its lyrics. We don’t know exactly which songs or artists Danna was referring to, as her criticism was more general. In 2023, some of the artists who stood out in the realm of Mexican reggaeton were Young Lvcas, Fuerza Régida (more in a corrido style), Peso Pluma, Dani Flow, and more recently, Xavi.
What about you? Do you think reggaeton is increasingly featuring more discriminatory lyrics?
