The Mexican content creator and model based in Spain, Dagna Mata, is the star of the Christian Nodal video, “A Waltz”but he assures that he has received criticism and threats after the controversy that sparked the production launch.
The young Mexican affirms that I didn’t know that she would be the protagonist of the video clip, because her contract was to be an extra. However, it was not until the video was released that he realized his true role.
“At the moment the video came out, I had the same reaction as you, I experienced it exactly the same as you,” he said in an interview for the Hoy program.
He added that The negative comments that were unleashed on social networks have affected their work and their physical and psychological health..
“I haven’t even been paid anything for this job. They are not fulfilling their part of the payment. They were supposed to pay me in 30 days, this video was recorded in February,” he said, while saying that a legal process has already been initiated for financial non-compliance by the Nodal team.
In a publication on his Instagram account, Mata also referred to the controversy and said that This is not the first video in which he has appeared, as he has worked on other artists’ productions. like Nicky Nicole, Alemán, Kenia Os, the French rapper Dr. Jaro and a Mexican singer friend of his.
“I am very grateful to have a job that allows me to do what I love, especially because part of my job is also opening the way for people who look like me, for people who may not fit the molds of what a model is supposed to be. I think it’s very nice in the end to be able to give a representation, but It honestly hurts me a little to see that an artist is involved who doesn’t deserve any of this and who doesn’t deserve to be compared either.”he said in the recording.
In the video clip, Mata appears in the snow with another model, with whom she dances, hugs and enjoys a special moment. However, Internet users noticed his resemblance to the ex-partner and current wife of Christian Nodal, and pointed out that he has a haircut. hair similar to that of Ángela Aguilarwhile her neck tattoos and nose piercing They make her look like Cazzu.
The comments accuse Nodal of having chosen her on purpose to generate controversy and have a media effect on her career. However, the production director took responsibility and assured that it had been an involuntary error.
“We always choose the acting actors. Christian didn’t see it. What is being said about the resemblance to Cazzu and Ángela happened to us. At no point was there a strategy or anything like that. We didn’t think it was relevant to show it to Christian. At the end of the day, other people come out. It is a very big process and not everything is consulted with the artist. It was our decision,” said Juan Antonio Barbazán at a press conference held in Madrid.
