Natanael Cano was once again at the center of the digital conversation, and this time it wasn’t because of a musical release or a media conflict. The Mexican singer ignited the social networks after posting a series of stories on Instagram in which he reacted with sarcasm -and an evident touch of annoyance- to the new collection record announced by the Tax Administration Service(SAT) in Mexico.
The controversy began when Cano shared a note about the historic collection that the SAT would reach between January and October, exceeding 4.4 billion pesos. Next to the image, the artist wrote: “Full rockstars. My idols, la vega “*, making it clear that his comment was not exactly a praise, but an ironic criticism towards the tax collection institution.
Cano raises the tone and ironizes with The Beatles
Minutes later, Natanael Cano reinforced his reaction with another post that quickly went viral.
He accompanied the story with the iconic song “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles and added:
“Now even The Beatles didn’t dare to do so much”.
For many followers, the message was a direct satire on what he considers a constant increase in the tax burden on artists and entrepreneurs.
But the tone was raised even higher in his next story.
Although he maintained his humorous style, Natanael Cano made it clear that his comments were not just passing jokes.
He stated that he has had to pay “melons” – a colloquial way of referring to large amounts of money – and assured that he faces “four audits a month” by the SAT.
The full message read: “A welfare discount, for the doll nothing? I had to send several melons. Give me a hand. Still with four audits a month to fuck my company. Long live Mexico”.

These statements generated a massive reaction because Natanael Cano is one of the most influential figures among young people in Mexico and in the Latino community in the United States.
For many, their comments reflected a common sentiment:
The perception that taxes are increasing and that fiscal vigilance is becoming stricter, especially for those who are self-employed or manage large incomes.
The combination of humor, sarcasm and social criticism provoked an immediate wave of memes, debates and reactions in networks.
Some users identified with their annoyance, while others considered their complaints exaggerated.
Even so, his stance once again demonstrated that Cano, despite the controversies, understands perfectly well how to move the digital conversation.
For now, the singer has not provided further details on the aforementioned audits or on the current status of his tax proceedings.
