Yahritza Martínez, the charismatic vocalist of Yahritza y Su Esencia, released an emotional video on TikTok that quickly went viral.
In just 15 seconds, he appears performing his hit song “Soy El Único” while superimposing the message: “If you forgave your ex, please forgive me too”. This has a Buzzy context related to the moment he made Mexicans angry.
Yahritza’s mistake and her Essence that set the whole thing off
His plea was accompanied by more than 3 million views and a wave of divided responses: some accepted the apology, others took it with humor or doubted his sincerity.
Yahritza’s confession does not come out of the blue.
In June 2023, during a press conference in Mexico City, she and her siblings expressed great rejection of Mexican food, mentioning that they found it “dry” and that they preferred American food.
Yahritza’s gesture upon seeing a bagged soda sparked a strong public reaction.
Past requests for forgiveness: from Monterrey to networks
Following the scandal, the group made several public apologies.
In September 2023, during a concert in Monterrey, Yahritza emotionally emphasized: “I came to ask for your forgiveness… I am proud to be Mexican, why should I lie to you”.
In social networks they also shared a video in which they apologized for not knowing how to express themselves and assured that they are “proudly Mexican”.
Have you already forgiven her?
With the passage of time, the situation seems to have changed.
In September 2024, during the national holidays, Mexico accepted them back after thanking them for their support, which was interpreted as a sign of forgiveness. In December of that year, they insisted that they had learned from the experience.
For the Hispanic community in the United States, especially in cities with a strong Mexican presence such as Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago and Miami, this episode represents much more than a culture shock.
It reflects identity challenges among U.S.-born generations with Mexican roots.
Yahritza’s attitude, which seeks to rebuild bridges with humor and humility, may resonate with an audience that straddles cultures and seeks acceptance on both sides.

What’s next for Yahritza?
Buzzy
Although the message on TikTok does not mention specific projects, this sincerity increases the possibility of reconnecting with its Mexican audience.
Their upcoming U.S. tour dates will be opportune to cement the bond.
In addition, the comparative phrase with “an ex” added a familiar, close and human nuance to his request.
In short, Yahritza Martinez used a current format – a TikTok video coupled with an emotional phrase – to ask for forgiveness: her strategy demonstrates how diaspora artists can repair bonds based on empathy, music and shared culture.
