A pink suit never gave so much. At least, surely Blas Cantó never imagined that the suit he chose to attend the wedding of his friends Edurne and David De Gea on Saturday July 2 in Menorca was going to go a long way. The singer attended the wedding accompanied by the composer Dangelo, his boyfriend, and the fashion analyst journalist Nacho Montes had no mercy criticizing the style that the interpreter of Voy a quedarme chose for the event.
“It is true that Blas Cantó was wearing a bubblegum pink suit with a Grease-type open-necked shirt and shoes with rubber soles. That would be very fun for a fresh party but for a wedding…”, Montes began writing for his article in the Divinity website, “True truth that his little colleague Dangelo wore an aqua green suit, bright as a child magician’s cape, and with the same white shoes but with XL toothed rubber soles,” Montes finished, about the couple. Some comments that did not make Cantó an iota of grace, as he let him know on Twitter.
The singer did not hesitate to show his outrage at Montes’s words. First, for calling Dangelo his “colleague” when she is his partner; second, for qualifying that guests like Risto Mejide or Dani Martínez “put on suits, with a shirt and tie as gentlemen do when they go to a ceremony.”
At that moment, it was Nacho Montes who decided to answer Blas Cantó, assuring that he was surprised that he had “so fine skin” for his opinion. “I’m surprised you have such thin skin with an opinion column on fashion, not on music. And no, I’m not a Divinity editor, although it would be very honorable, I’m a journalist who has exercised freedom of expression since long before I you were born. I said nothing to offend you so much,” he told her.
The singer, for his part, assured that he was not outraged by it, nor was he referring to his criticism of the clothes. “I loved it and that’s enough for me, but the column exudes a lot of very dark things that men and women fight against. What is a real man? Are pink and little shirts for girls?” he wondered. artist.
Montes, far from letting Cantó give him lessons, decided to answer: “I am a free and open gay and I have been fighting for a thousand things for 53 years so that today you can be what you want without hatred and in freedom, tell me no I identify homophobia it’s like to get upset. You still confuse that with criticizing the tacky things, “he snapped. In addition, he sent a small dart to the artist: “Now I understand everything they say about your pride. And this, my dear, only the great stars can afford. You have nothing left…”.
A discussion in which numerous followers of both were involved, with the journalist Asier Montaño (The island of temptations, Survivors) involved in the discussion, advising Montes to make self-criticism and admit his mistakes, something that earned him fully immersed in the discussion.
“I am not going to continue because I see that you stayed in 1993 and you do not give for more. Thank you for fighting for my rights. You are beautiful to talk about tacky,” Cantó replied, sarcastically, adding: “Take care and train yourself in homophobia, misogyny and harsh patriarchy”.
Finally, the singer ended the discussion with one last message that said the following: “It is unfortunate that there are people who are incapable of recognizing their mistakes and all they do is try to attack with nonsense such as prestige, age… Defend yourself with arguments. I don’t Your resume matters, amoch. Do I tell you about my 23-year career to defend my arguments?”
Now, as Montes stated, he himself had sent him a private message to settle the issue outside of Twitter, but Cantó would have ignored those attempts. “I’ve been doing self-criticism for half a century. What if we apply the story to all of us?” she wondered. “I have been so generous as to answer him kindly and even to send him a private message without obligation, but arrogance can do to many. A pity.”
