The announcer had asked the artist if at any time in his life he had felt that his life was in danger, because in the past he had some problems regarding his safety when criminals entered one of his properties to steal his belongings.
Faced with this scenario, the singer expressed the following: “Not today, because the people I had problems with know that I know everything about them and people love me a lot, both the good and the bad. “They know that messing with a Yeison Jiménez, unfortunately, is putting a tombstone on your neck.”

Yeison Jiménez apologizes to his fans: ‘I fell into the game of ego’
The artist’s statements generated a controversy on social networks, since Internet users published various criticisms and memes because they considered that his words were not appropriate to express that his fans could defend him in case an attempt was made on his life.
Given this, Yeison Jiménez published a TikTok video in which he offered his apologies to all his followers and fans who were upset by his words: “There is something that I have always considered myself good at, and that is to recognize my mistakes, I have the obligation to come here and tell them that I definitely screwed up.”
(Of interest: Yeison Jiménez showed what he looked like before he was famous: ‘The change has been an up and down’).
He continued his speech: “I made a comment that was unnecessary, in a person who today has so many followers and so much affection, that anything he says can be used against him, that is: me. So I come to tell all the people I made uncomfortable with my comments to apologize to me.”
“I feel that I must dedicate myself purely to what is mine, to what I know how to do, to make them laugh, to make music for them, to bring them joy. I fell into the game of ego and thinking out loud. “I am still a very young person, but I have always characterized myself because I have no problem recognizing a mistake.”
He concluded by saying: “It was poorly said, on my part I apologize, if unfortunately with my words I was not the person I usually am and, definitely, I do not want you to have another image other than what I am: a bald badass, who he likes to sing”.
In the description of the video on the Asian social network he added: “A thousand apologies, to err is human, but recognizing mistakes is even more gratifying.” However, this only brought him more criticism from Internet users in the comments on his profile.
