Peso Pluma, Replaced by Nicki Nicole’s Ex-Boyfriend Trueno
The Argentine rapper will substitute the Mexican after the cancellation of his participation in Viña del Mar festival
The truth is that Peso Pluma’s movements have always been a topic of conversation, but especially so in the past week, indicating that he is not going through the best of times. Last week, on the eve of Valentine’s Day, a video of the Mexican holding hands with a woman who wasn’t his girlfriend Nicki Nicole went viral, triggering the breakup with the Argentine trap artist.
As a result of this incident, several other events unfolded, from indirect messages from Nicole – who hasn’t slowed down her busy schedule and has taken the opportunity to send some hints to ‘Doble P’ – to the recent cancellation of his Latin American tour. According to a spokesperson for the artist, Peso Pluma decided not to carry out his three shows in the continent next week due to «personal issues.»
These matters are closely related to the mentioned breakup and also explain their recent and notable absence – both his and his ex-partner’s – from the coveted Premio Lo Nuestro, one of the most important celebrations in Latin music in the United States. Although Nicole was in Miami, where the event took place, she did not attend – although she did perform at LIV Miam, where her friend Bizarrap was performing.
What has caught attention regarding the cancellation of Peso Pluma’s upcoming concerts in Latin America is that the Mexican will be replaced by the Argentine rapper Trueno at the significant Viña del Mar 2024 festival in Chile. The Buenos Aires-born artist is known for his career in Latin hip-hop, but he has also been in the spotlight recently due to his past relationship with Nicki Nicole, who is also Peso Pluma’s ex-partner.
Nicki and Trueno had an intense romantic relationship showcased to the world through their magical collaboration on ‘Mamichula,’ also produced by Bizarrap. For nearly two years, they were one of the most prominent couples in the Latin trap and rap scene, but they ended their relationship in early 2023, not on the best terms, as both stopped following each other on social media. Nicki has even suggested that her latest album ‘ALMA’ (2023), nominated for a Latin Grammy, is the result of inspiration and challenging moments stemming from that same breakup.
Did Trueno Send a Message to Peso Pluma?
One of the many topics discussed on social media these days has been Trueno’s reaction to the breakup between Peso Pluma and Nicki Nicole. Fans found it odd, perplexing, and intriguing that the singer of ‘No Cap’ made a gesture before performing ‘Mamichula’ at a gig in Chile.
«I believe the world is divided between traitors and the loyal ones, so I thank all the people who are faithful and are here,» exclaimed the artist amid cheers.

However, a few hours later, he denied, through his Instagram channel, what everyone would have interpreted as an attack on Peso Pluma.
«I clarify this for you, who are the people who deserve it, the people who have always been there and deserve an explanation of whatever. You already know that at festivals, we have a little time to play, we have an hour or sometimes even less time, and the only moment I have to say a few words is before ‘Mamichula,’ which is what happened in Chile. The truth is that I have no interest or importance in all that. And today I woke up and saw that it was trending, and there are people from Mexico who are angry. Just so you know, whenever I talk about betrayal, loyalty, and people who are and aren’t there, I’m talking about the blockheads who stole my songs and all the people who are no longer part of my life. Everyone who is no longer part of my life is for a reason. Rest assured that if I speak, I speak with names and surnames, don’t forget,» explained the Argentine performer.
