Christian Nodal Defends Grammy Omission as 'Talent Doesn't Get Canceled' Quip Triggers Criticism

He says exhaustion led him to improvise, counting Ángela Aguilar within 'family'.

Overview

  • A viral clip shows Nodal accepting a Latin Grammy without explicitly thanking his wife Ángela Aguilar, prompting questions about their relationship.
  • Speaking to reporters outside Mexico City's Reclusorio Oriente, he said he was very tired and chose to include her under the word 'family' in an improvised speech.
  • In a separate interview, he remarked, “Amén hermano, gracias a Dios el talento no se cancela,” a line widely interpreted online as a jab at Ángela for not filling concerts.
  • Coverage contrasted Nodal's U.S. tour, which includes multiple sold‑out dates, with Ángela performing to smaller crowds, though detailed attendance figures were not independently verified.
  • Public reaction remains split, with supporters accepting his explanation and critics noting he has named past partners like Belinda or Cazzu in previous award speeches.
