The visit of Argentine pop diva Lali Esposito to the popular evening show hosted by David Broncano on TVE is still making waves in the media. Days after the broadcast, the buzz has not died down. The artist, known in her homeland as the queen of pop music and whose career has long reached an international level, found herself at the center of heated discussion. The reason was her response to the host’s traditional question about personal finances, which led the singer to issue a detailed explanation on her social networks to put an end to the controversy.
During the interview, Esposito shared that she has been working for 23 years and considers herself privileged. She clarified that while she is doing well, she does not spend money on meaningless things. For her, the most important thing has always been that her family has a roof over their heads. The singer emphasized that her wealth is invested in providing a better life for her loved ones and herself. At the same time, she distanced herself from flamboyant luxury, noting that people won’t see her carrying expensive handbags because she would be ashamed to spend money on such things. This was her response to the question about the amount of money in her bank account.
However, her words did not go unnoticed and sparked a wave of criticism online, particularly in Argentina. Some internet users questioned her financial views and the way she expressed them on television. Instead of backing down in the face of these comments, Lali posted a lengthy message, responding sharply to the accusations. “Some people really got worked up over what I said about showing off. I guess I’ll have to add subtitles, since apparently you need them…,” the young woman began her statement with biting irony.
The artist once again stood by her life principles. She explained that someone else in her position might have first bought a Rolls-Royce. But she chose instead to buy a house for her parents and secure her family’s well-being. Only after achieving that, she admitted to enjoying the privileges her work had provided her since the age of ten. According to Lali, it was not about judgment but about recognizing that different paths exist. “None of them is right or wrong, it’s simply a choice. And that’s always been my choice,” she emphasized, repeating the message she expressed on Spanish television.
In a more critical tone, she posed several rhetorical questions to her detractors. Are they, deep down, upset that someone from a humble background can achieve success without treating others poorly? Could it be that what irritates them is simply that she doesn’t think like they do? Or is their only goal to confirm the narrative playing in their small, angry minds?
In conclusion, the performer left a message full of sarcasm and confidence in her own rightness: “I was born where I was born. Things are as they are for me. I am loved by those who love me. And that can’t be bought for any money. Besides subtitles, what you really need are hugs… but that’s no longer my task.” The heated debate not only shows the powerful media resonance sparked by each of Esposito’s television appearances but also reinforces her image as an artist for whom authenticity and humble origins are the hallmark of her career. After this broadcast, it became clear that Lali is capable of generating news not just through her music, but also through her ability to defend her position directly and without hesitation.
