Overview
- The clip, filmed at the Palenque del Fex in Mexicali on Oct. 10, shows staff repeatedly sniffing Nodal’s cups and swapping or removing them during the concert.
- The video was first posted on Oct. 23 by attendee Javier Castañón and regained traction after TikTok creator Dexinforma2 resurfaced it this week.
- Viewers offered mixed explanations, with some calling the practice a safety or health measure and others labeling it excessive control.
- Outlets note the Mexicali footage predates a later Monterrey show that drew criticism, undercutting claims that the checks were a response to that event.
- Christian Nodal has not commented on the video, and his team has not explained the onstage beverage checks.
