Bu Cuarón Faces Backlash After Opening Dua Lipa’s Mexico City Finale

Online criticism focuses on nepotism allegations following a shaky vocal showing.

Overview

  • Bu Cuarón opened Dua Lipa’s December 5 concert at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, a slot that attendees said came without prior openers at earlier Mexico dates.
  • She performed with her brother, Olmo Cuarón, and thanked him on stage, reflecting their ongoing collaboration on her indie pop and electronic material.
  • Social platforms filled with posts accusing nepotism and labeling the set as “cringe,” questioning why a developing artist was placed on a stadium stage.
  • Attendee accounts and local reports cited issues with breath control, unclear diction, and pitch, describing a generally poor live reception.
