Emma Coronel, wife of famous Mexican drug dealer Joaquín Guzmán Loera, alias the ‘Chapo’, stars in her husband’s former lawyer’s music video, Mariel Colón
Emma Coronel, wife of famous Mexican drug dealer Joaquín Guzmán Loera, alias the ‘Chapo’, debuts as a model in a music video starring her husband’s lawyer, Mariel Colón.
Chapo’s wife gave an interview Tuesday with Maria Antonieta Collins of the Univision channel’s ‘Awaken America’ program, in which she spoke about her first job since she was released from prison in September last year.
Coronel, who spent two and a half years in prison in the United States for activities related to her husband and the Sinaloa Cartel, told the interview that she agreed to participate in the video because it was the song of a “friend,” lawyer Mariel Colón, whom she knows of her stage as a defender of her husband.
The song, entitled ‘La Señora’ and performed by Colón, was written by Mario Delgado, known as the ‘Cachorro’, who had already composed run in honor of the Mexican drug dealer.
“It all comes to me, it talks about me, everything that has happened to me in life,” she said about the song she has had with her participation as an actress.
In addition, with her contribution to the video, the Mexican says she has fulfilled her “dream of being a model,” something she has been pursuing since she was a child in her own words.
During the interview, Colonel said he was still in love with Chapo, whom he has not seen for more than seven years, when he was imprisoned in a maximum security prison in the United States.
“Love is always going to go on, of course, of course,” he said bluntly.
For the drug dealer’s wife, the song has a purpose for people who hear it: “Let them realize that strong, bad things happen, but the past is past. Don’t stay there. We have to move on.”
Colonel said he had business in mind that he still couldn’t reveal for “not being done,” but completely ruled out the possibility of participating in a telereality program.
“I’m locked up in a place over a week? Not for all the millions. It is another prison, never (…) freedom is the most beautiful, the most precious thing you can have,” he said.
