The “lawsuit” between Belinda and Christian Nodal is far from over or disappearing. And after the Mexican premiered her latest single, “Cactus”, which has been considered a clear “shootout” towards the singer’s ex-fiancé, now it is Nodal who seems to take “revenge” with her latest song. Yesterday’s Gunpowder.
The song, released on February 22, is part of the new album by the Puerto Rican Residente, “Las Letras Ya No Importan”, which is made up of 20 songs, compiled over the last seven years by the same singer as “This Is Not America”, “René”, “I Want to Ser Baladista”, among others.
Big names in Latin music also appear in the material, such as hip-hop pioneers Big Daddy Kane and Busta Rhymes, as well as reggaeton artists Vico C and Rauw Alejandro, Jessi Reyez and, the aforementioned, Christian Nodal.
Christian Nodal launches against Belinda?
Although neither Christian Nodal nor Residente have talked about “Pólvora de Ayer”, a large number of followers of both stars, as well as Belinda herself, have speculated that the song would be a kind of “revenge” for the Mexican, who co wrote the song with Residente, after “Cactus”.
The first verse of the song, performed by Nodal, would have a “hidden” message thanks to the phrase “I have gunpowder left from yesterday and today I’m here to shoot it.” These words, according to various users, could be a clear reference to Nodal’s feelings, and his version of events, after his breakup with Belinda and her recent “Cactus.”
Here there is no time to waste, here we came to take it Since they will never see me because I am going to untie myself I have gunpowder left from yesterday and today I am coming to shoot it I took flight and I am not going to let it down
It should be noted that after the release of the Mexican song, and given the variety of criticisms towards the Mexican, he has decided to remain silent. Even her current partner, Cazzu, has thrown a couple of hints at the Spanish-born woman to criticize her actions and her song.
Despite the above, Belinda herself recently stated that “Cactus” was made with all “respect and love,” and that its main objective was to show a kind of reboot in personal and musical life.
Residente returns to the top of the music scene
In addition to his collaboration with Nodal, Residente included the single “Bajo Los Escombros”, by Palestinian singer Amal Murkus, as part of his pro-Palestinian stance in the face of the country’s war with Israel.
Likewise, and prior to the release of the album, Residente published the video for the single “313”, dedicated to his deceased friend, and which features the collaboration of Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.
