Overview

  • Migration officers at Ezeiza stopped the singer from boarding a flight to Mexico because he appears in the official registry of child-support debtors.
  • The travel hold follows a court claim by Tamara Báez for maintenance, and he must regularize payments to exit the country again.
  • Speaking to El Trece’s Puro Show at the airport, L-Gante said he hoped the warning was untrue and criticized Báez’s lawyer Juan Pablo Merlo before leaving through an alternate exit.
  • Merlo told TV outlets that a court set a provisional payment of $5,000 after he sought $10,000, presenting that transfer as the step to resolve the restriction.
  • Later that night, L-Gante performed at a nightclub in Buenos Aires’ Zona Sur, as Báez publicly denied a reconciliation and said she wants to focus on their daughter.
