Aleks Syntek stars in a tense moment during a concert in the Benito Juárez borough
Mexican singer Aleks Syntek became the center of controversy during his recent performance in the Benito Juárez borough. What promised to be a musical evening alongside Grupo Baxter and Diego Schoening ended up turning into a scene of confrontation between the artist and the attending audience.
During the show, Syntek interrupted his repertoire on several occasions to express his deep dissatisfaction with the current music scene and the criticism he has received throughout his career. The performer appeared visibly upset by the lack of support that, according to him, he has received from both his colleagues in the artistic field and his own followers.
Nobody defended me, not the artists, not the public. Defend me already. If you like my music, if you are going to be singing it, then defend Uncle Syntek. Don’t leave me there alone.

Criticism of the urban genre and tensions with attendees
The singer-songwriter lashed out again against figures of the urban genre such as Bad Bunny and Dani Flow, questioning the musical tastes of the audience. His statements were not limited to music, but also included comments on cultural identity, urging those present not to adopt idioms foreign to Mexican culture.
- Syntek openly criticized the success of songs like “Martillazo,” describing their performers in a derogatory manner.
- The singer demanded that fans identify with his career and value his compositions, even going so far as to ask that only those wearing official merchandise come up on stage.
- During the event, there were moments of discomfort when the artist confronted a fan who requested songs by other authors, responding with a mocking and scolding tone.
The artist’s attitude caused confusion among the attendees, who had come with the intention of enjoying his best-known hits, including iconic tracks such as the one from “La Familia P.Luche”. Syntek’s insistence on giving lessons about the industry and his personal vision ended up fragmenting the event’s atmosphere.
Following the event, social media ignited with an intense debate. While some users support Syntek’s stance on the quality of current music, others believe that the manner and context were inappropriate, pointing out that the stage was not the place for such outbursts. On the other hand, various internet users took the opportunity to bring up past controversies that have marked the musician’s career.
