Controversies

On May 12, 2020, Cortez released a topic called "24 horas", a diss track for fellow rapper Bryant Myers after both had a strong argument through Twitter, which tried to offend and challenged Myers to respond to him in less than 24 hours.[37] After three days Myers replied with the subject "El que no escribe". However, he confessed that he did not publish it in less than 24 hours because no one tells him what to do, in a direct video from Instagram.[38] This would become the first strip that Myers put out, since on similar occasions with other artists, he had not decided to respond. Shortly after, Cortez published another diss track against him called "Game Over",[39] which Myers did not want to answer as he did not consider it good enough. Some time later, Cortez acknowledged in an interview that the two were disrespectful and said he could make amends in the future when time has passed and they had matured. A year after, he released a diss track on fellow artist Rauw Alejandro titled "Enterrauw".[37]
