Rapper Emiliano Aguilar, son of renowned Mexican singer Pepe Aguilar, is already in Miami, Florida, to attend the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2025, to be held on Thursday, October 23 at the James L. Knight Center.
This will be his first appearance at a ceremony of great relevance within the music industry, a fact that the artist himself has enthusiastically shared on his social networks.
Through a video posted on his Instagram account, Emiliano showed images of his trip to Miami and expressed his excitement to attend the event, noting that his presence was not easy to materialize. “Ahorita vamos directamente a Miami porque no pudieron quitarme los Billboards. See you there, #NoPudieron,” he declared in a defiant tone, referring to alleged attempts to prevent his participation.
Days earlier, on October 4, the artist had publicly denounced that a person close to him – whose identity he chose not to reveal – had tried to sabotage his presence at the awards. In a message shared with his followers, he expressed his frustration at what had happened: “If you don’t believe me, I don’t care. You know I never lie to you,” she said with evident annoyance.
According to Emiliano himself, this person would have intervened with the organizers of the event, imposing conditions so that he could not attend. “They put their foot down on me. They gave them an ultimatum: that if that person went, I could not go,” he explained, without mentioning names, although he suggested that many would know who he was referring to.
The young artist added: “Everyone knows that what I have said is the truth and they went too far,” reaffirming his position and hinting that the conflicts he faces come from his closest environment.
He also clarified that he will not participate as part of the musical spectacle of the ceremony, but will attend only as a guest, which did not diminish his enthusiasm to be part of the event.
Emiliano Aguilar: A family relationship marked by distance
Emiliano Aguilar maintains a distant relationship with his paternal family, made up of his father, singer Pepe Aguilar, and his half-siblings Ángela and Leonardo Aguilar, both consolidated figures in regional Mexican music. In different interviews and publications, the rapper has hinted at family tensions that have kept him on the sidelines of the so-called Aguilar Dynasty.
In addition, in recent months, his conflict with singer Christian Nodal, current partner of his half-sister Ángela Aguilar, has been mentioned. In a conversation with journalist Javier Ceriani, Emiliano suggested that part of this confrontation could be related to family dynamics.
The tension between the two artists seemed to escalate after a message Emiliano posted on his social networks shortly before traveling to Miami. In the publication, the rapper made a direct warning to Nodal, saying:
“Here we go Billboards (…) I know everything about you, perri…. but you don’t know me. Don’t ever talk about my daughter or her mother again or you’re going to know me.”
This message was interpreted by many followers as a clear response to Nodal’s previous alleged comments about Emiliano’s family. However, the interpreter did not offer further details or clarifications about the origin of his statements.
So far, no member of the Aguilar family – neither Pepe, Angela nor Leonardo – has issued a statement regarding Emiliano’s accusations or messages. The silence of the clan has been interpreted by some media as a strategy to avoid escalating the conflict, especially considering the proximity of the Billboard Latin Music Awards, a highly visible media event.
Emiliano, meanwhile, continues to share content on his digital platforms, where he has gained notoriety for his direct style and his decision to mark his own artistic identity, away from the musical tradition of his family.
Emiliano Aguilar’s attendance at the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2025 represents an important step in his quest to consolidate his position in the urban genre. Although he will not be performing musically, his presence at an event of such magnitude symbolizes recognition of his growing popularity and his efforts to forge an independent career.
Despite the personal and family conflicts that surround him, the young artist seems determined to move forward. His appearance in Miami could mark the beginning of a new professional stage in which he seeks to be recognized not only as “Pepe Aguilar’s son”, but as a musician with his own voice and style.
