Tainy, Jhayco, and Rauw Alejandro's collaborative track 'Rosita' sparked backlash for a lyric referencing Cazzu and her ex-partner Christian Nodal. The song, released on February 20, led to public exchanges on social media and statements addressing the drama. Involved parties have since clarified their intentions amid discussions of past relationships and custody issues.
The reggaeton track 'Rosita,' featuring Tainy, Jhayco, and Rauw Alejandro, was released on February 20. The song describes a romantic encounter but drew attention for Jhayco's line in the second verse: 'Yo me dejo y me caso contigo a lo Christian Nodal,' translating to 'I leave and I get married, Christian Nodal style.' This references Cazzu's two-year relationship with Nodal from 2022 to 2024, during which they had a daughter, Inti, in 2023. Nodal's quick transition to dating and marrying Ángela Aguilar shortly after the split fueled infidelity rumors.
On February 22, Cazzu posted cryptically on X: 'The art we make is our stance toward life. You already know mine.' Rauw Alejandro responded that day, stating, 'For a long time now, we’ve been living in an era where controversy and gossip make far more noise than art and effort. Even so, what is truly authentic and genuine always finds its way and ultimately transcends over time.' Jhayco reposted this and shared the controversial lyric with a blue heart emoji, later confirming he wrote it.
Cazzu addressed the issue further on February 24 in a Substack post titled 'Tiradera,' critiquing male camaraderie in diss tracks and noting, 'the real problem is called Chronicle of an Abandonment. And no, it’s not me who’s been abandoned,' alluding to the custody battle over Inti with Nodal. That same day, Nodal defended the artists on Instagram, describing the lyric as 'slightly tongue-in-cheek, poking at my reputation for being a hopeless romantic' and questioning its link to their daughter: 'What the hell does my daughter have to do with making a point about musical genre?'
On February 25, Rauw Alejandro clarified, 'I have never spoken ill of Cazzu. I consider her a friend,' emphasizing he did not write the line and saw no disrespect, adding, 'Here there’s no fighting, no bad vibes. There’s music, there’s work, and there’s unity.' Jhayco echoed this, admitting authorship but stating, 'At no point was there, nor was there ever, any intention to belittle or make anyone feel targeted,' and wishing Cazzu success.
Tainy broke his silence on February 26 via Instagram: 'The purpose of creating “Rosita” was always unity: to be able to hear Jhayco and Rauw together for the first time on the same track. The intention was never to offend, hurt, or disrespect anyone,' expressing regret for any offense.
