They hack the YouTube channel of J Balvin and upload the Residente song with Bizarrap

On the morning of this Tuesday, April 5, several users who are subscribed to the official YouTube accounts of some artists, noticed that they had recently uploaded a video to their channels. However, when they entered, they realized that these had been hacked and the videos had nothing to do with them. The YouTube channels of Michael Jackson, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Eminem, among others reported this attack, even Colombian singer J Balvin was affected by this.

The Colombian singer's official YouTube channel posted the video for BZRP Music Sessions #49, which is a song by Residente against J Balvin. This generated a lot of controversy on social networks and several users reported what happened on Twitter. The title with which this video was uploaded was: “Residente - RESIDENTE TIRADERA” and it was published for several minutes, achieving more than 20 thousand views.

It is important to note that the official video published on the channel of Argentine producer Bizarrap already has more than 84 million views, was a trend on several digital platforms and generated enormous controversy over some of the lines in which he harshly criticized the Colombian. All this was given by a publication that J Balvin made about the Grammys, something that upset the Puerto Rican who revealed that he spoke with him on some occasions, but finally decided to publish the song.

Although the song published generated many comments on social media, J Balvin has not spoken about what happened and instead posted a double musical collaboration with British singer Ed Sheeran with the songs' Sigue 'and 'Forever my love'. Recently, an interview with the Colombian was released a few weeks ago in which he talked about Residente and he assured that what happened hurt because he considered him a friend.

“I considered him a friend, corduroy. That's why it hurt there are a lot of things that people don't know and I'm not going to tell them. Everyone has a clear conscience. I know what I said. Why didn't I go out and talk? To foolish words, deaf ears,” said the Colombian singer at the time.

After the hack neither J Balvin nor his team have spoken about it, the video that was published by the hackers was deleted a few minutes later. The Colombian was not the only artist to have his account hacked since the channel of Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber and even Eminem were also affected, but his published content was different from that of Balvin.

A group that calls itself 'Los Pelaos Bro' took credit for hacking the YouTube channels of important artists from different musical genres. A video of the Spanish scammer Paco Sanz playing guitar was posted on several channels under different names, one of which was the one by Travis Scott to which they published the following: 'Music video by Drake performing Justin Bieber - Free Paco Sanz (ft. Will Smith, Chris Rock, Skinny Flex & The Pelaos) '.

For example, Harry Styles's channel published what would be a video of a collaboration with Daddy Yankee and even 'Los Pelaos Bro' signed this post. This generated enormous controversy on social media and the authorities would already be investigating who would be behind these events that had a huge impact on social media.
