COMUNICADO DE ROMEO

English version is the ONLY Official statement from Romeo. Any other translation is not approved or authorized

DEAR AVENTURA FANS,

AS YOU MAY HAVE OBSERVED DURING SO MANY YEARS, I
NORMALLY DON’T GIVE PUBLIC STATEMENTS, AND I USUALLY HAVE NEVER DEFENDED MYSELF EVEN WHEN OTHERS HAVE PUBLICLY ACCUSED ME OF SOMETHING FALSE..I DON’T FEED INTO THE INDUSTRY GOSSIP, AND ALL I’VE DONE IN THE PAST IS ANSWER THE MEDIA WHEN THEY’VE ASKED ME ABOUT CERTAIN RUMORS.

IN FACT, WHEN YOU’VE SEEN ME SPEAKING ON ANY AVENTURA CONTROVERSY, I’M JUST BEING A LEADER AND PUBLICLY DEFENDING MY BROTHERS, EVEN WHEN MAYBE WHAT THEY DID WAS INAPPROPRIATE.  ON THIS OCCASION, OUT OF RESPECT FOR MIKEY AND ALL OF THE AVENTURA FANS, I WILL ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE.  HOWEVER, DON’T EVER EXPECT ME TO TRASH MY BROTHERS, OR PUT OUR PRIVATE BUSINESS OUT IN THE OPEN.  IF ANY OF THE OTHER MEMBERS OF AVENTURA FEEL THAT’S THE WAY THEY WANT TO HANDLE ANY INTERNAL SITUATION BETWEEN US, THAT IS THEIR CHOICE.  BUT THAT’S NOT HOW I
HANDLE PROBLEMS. I’M ALSO WELL AWARE THAT THIS TOPIC IS 2 DAYS OLD, BUT IT SURE HASN’T BEEN FORGOTTEN. SO IF FOR SOME REASON THAT DOOR OPENS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE FOR WHATEVER REASON, HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS NOW BECAUSE I WONT MAKE ANOTHER PUBLIC STATEMENT LATER.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT AVENTURA WASN’T INVITED TO THE VMAS AND WE DID NOT HAVE A VMA NOMINATION.  AVENTURA WAS NOMINATED FOR AN MTV3 AWARD.  THESE ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.  DID ANYONE SEE AVENTURA’S NOMINATION TELEVISED ON THE VMAS??

NO! -EXACTLY MY POINT.  I WAS INVITED TO PRESENT AN AWARD, AND I ACCEPTED THE INVITATION JUST LIKE ANY OF THE OTHER 3 MEMBERS WOULD’VE ACCEPTED AS WELL WITHOUT ASKING ANY QUESTIONS.  NOW, DO SOME OF YOU FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL 4 OF US ON STAGE PRESENTING AND NOT JUST ME?? I’M NOT DISAGREEING WITH THAT VISION.  IN FACT I WOULD’VE PREFERRED NOT PRESENTING AND INSTEAD PERFORMING “EL MALO” WITH THE GUYS, OR ANY OTHER SINGLE FROM “THE LAST.”  BUT THAT WASN’T MTV’S PROPOSAL AND IT WASN’T UP FOR DEBATE. IT WAS VERY SIMPLE.. WOULD ROMEO
LIKE TO PRESENT AN VMA AWARD? AND I SAID HELL YEAH!  IF ANYONE SAYS THEY WOULD’VE TURNED IT DOWN FOR WHATEVER REASON, IN MY OPINION THEY WOULD EITHER BE HYPOCRITES OR HAD NEVER BEEN IN A POSITION TO KNOW THE
FEELING.

HOWEVER, IT DID NOT CROSS MY MIND THAT ANY OF THE GUYS WOULD OPPOSE OR HAVE A NEGATIVE REACTION LIKE MIKEY’S DUE TO MY PRESENCE AT THE VMAS. I DIDN’T THINK OF THAT PROBABLY FOR A FEW REASONS – ONE BEING THAT MIKEY, HENRY AND LENNY ALSO HAVE DONE SOLO APPEARANCES WHERE THEY’VE PROMOTED THEMSELVES ALONE WITHOUT DISCUSSING IT WITH ME, (SOMETHING I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH).  AND ANOTHER REASON WAS THAT NONE OF THE 3
REACHED OUT TO ME TO COMPLAIN OR EXPRESS THEIR DISCOMFORT.  I WAS AS SURPRISED BY MIKEY’S COMMENTS AS MANY WERE.  I ALSO WANNA MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR TO EVERYONE – I’M NOT SAYING MIKEY’S WRONG AND THAT
I’M RIGHT OR VICE VERSA; IM NOT GETTING INTO THAT – AND I’LL DISCUSS MY FEELINGS DIRECTLY WITH HIM.  ALL I’M ASKING FROM ALL THE FANS IS TO BE NEUTRAL, AND TO BE RESPECTFUL TO ALL OF US WITH YOUR OPINIONS IF YOU DO DECIDE TO EXPRESS AN OPINION.  YOU’RE HEARING MIKEY’S POINT OF
VIEW FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE – MEANING THIS IS THE WAY HE LOOKS AT THINGS. THIS IS THE WAY HE FEELS, AND AGAIN – HE MAY NOT BE WRONG ABOUT CERTAIN ISSUES.  BUT UNFORTUNATELY AND UNFAIRLY, TO MOST ROMEO IS ALWAYS “THE  PROBLEM” AND THE CAUSE OF A POSSIBLE GROUP BREAK UP.

While making love with the partner the person faces certain problems in his erection and in that manner he tends to levitra de prescription face erectile dysfunction. It requires only a few minutes for becoming low cost viagra effective in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. This medicine was quite cheaper than that of http://www.glacialridgebyway.com/windows/Kerkhoven%20Heritage%20Room.html shipping free viagra, Kamagra soon became people’s favorite and is being referred as an innovative approach to the treatment of impotence. The arteries http://www.glacialridgebyway.com/windows/Pope%20County%20Museum.html viagra 100 mg related to the reproductive organs of men and then it become healthier. MEANWHILE I’VE ALWAYS DONE EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO KEEP THIS GROUP TOGETHER DURING ALL THESE YEARS WHEN I HAD NUMEROUS OFFERS AND OCCASIONS TO LEAVE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I’M STILL TRYING TO KEEP US TOGETHER.  IF ANY OF YOU DOUBT ME AS A SOLO ARTIST OR WISH NOT TO SUPPORT MY SOLO PROJECT – FINE; THAT IS YOUR DECISION AND I RESPECT YOUR OPINIONS.  BUT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING  – I SURE BELIEVE IN MYSELF.THE REASON I HAVEN’T LEFT AVENTURA FOR SOME OF THE OFFERS I’VE HAD IN THE PAST WAS NOT BECAUSE I FEARED FAILURE GOING SOLO.  WHEN I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ABANDON THE GROUP, I HAD A NOTEBOOK UNDER MY ARM WITHMANY SONGS THAT YOU FANS MADE HITS.  I HAD ALREADY WRITTEN “UN BESO”,”MI CORAZONCITO,” AND MANY OTHERS. I’M EXPLAINING THIS BECAUSE THE FANS HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ON HOW WE INITIATE THE PROCESS OF MAKING MUSIC.

EVERYONE DOES THEIR JOB, AND I BELIEVE THAT IF MIKEY HADN’TBEEN IN THE GROUP, MAYBE WE WOULDN’T HAVE MADE IT.  OR MAYBE WITHOUT HENRY’S VOCALS WE WOULD NOT HAVE FUNCTIONED.  MAYBE LENNY’S GUITAR SOUND IS AS IMPORTANT AS MY LYRICS, AND WITHOUT HIM THEY WOULDN’T BE AN AVENTURA.  ALL THAT IS QUITE POSSIBLE. I ALWAYS SAY AVENTURA IS A 4 LEG TABLE, AND IF ONE OF US CAN’T BE THERE I WOULD RATHER QUIT. BUT I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I DON’T DEPEND ON ANYONE TO CREATE THOSE POETIC BEAUTIFUL SONGS YOU LOVE. I DON’T SIT THERE WAITING FOR IDEAS TO WRITE A TRACK.  I BRING THOSE SONGS TO LENNY WITH A CONCEPT, AND EVERYONE MAY HAVE INPUT BUT IF I DON’T WRITE A SONG, WE HAVE NOTHING TO RECORD – MAYBE JUST COVERS. AS YOU KNOW, WE PREFER TO GIVE YOU ORIGINAL SONGS. 98% OF AVENTURA’S MATERIAL IS OURS – BUT YA’LL ALREADY KNOW THAT.

BASICALLY WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY IS A HIT IS A HIT WITH AVENTURA OR JUST ROMEO.  IF HENRY DROPS GREAT SONGS, HE’S GOING TO BLOW UP TOO. WHEN MIKEY DROPS HIS HIP HOP ALBUM, OR THAT KID SOPRANO COMES OUT WITH HIS ALBUM, THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE SPANISH HIP HOP INDUSTRY,
BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS ABOUT MAKING GOOD MUSIC AND CONNECTING WITH THE FANS!!  LO DEMAS ES MIERDA! ANYONE THAT THINKS THAT INDIVIDUALLY SPEAKING NONE OF US WOULD FUNCTION, I RESPECT YOUR OPINION.  BUT YOU
REMIND ME OF THE PEOPLE THAT SAID WE WEREN’T GOING TO MAKE IT BECAUSE I COULDN’T SING, AND I SOUNDED LIKE A PIGEON – OR BECAUSE HENRY WAS TOO SHORT, OR BECAUSE LENNY SOUNDED TOO AMERICAN, ETC. WHATEVER YOU
THINK ABOUT HENRY’S OR MY SOLO PROJECT, IT’S OKAY.  I AGREE WITH FREEDOM OF SPEECH. BUT AT LEAST LISTEN TO THE PRODUCT BEFORE HATING. I BELIEVE WE CAN ALL MAKE IT IN OUR SOLO CAREERS IF WE ARE DEDICATED, DISCIPLINED AND MAKE GREAT MUSIC.  PLUS WE ALREADY HAVE THE BEST FU&*KING FANS IN THE WORLD, AND I’M VERY GRATEFUL TO THE MILLIONS OF FANS WORLDWIDE DESPITE THE FACT THAT I MIGHT APPEAR UNACCESSIBLE TOYOU.  (THAT’S A DIFFERENT TOPIC, BUT I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.)

SO FOR THE LAST TIME,I STUCK AROUND IN AVENTURA BECAUSE I’M LOYAL TO MY BROTHERS, AND FOR LIKE THE 30TH TIME ..I’M DOING MY SOLO PROJECT BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS.  WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, STAY HOME DOING SHIT WHILE EVERYONE ELSE DROPS MIXTAPES AND ALBUMS?? HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO FU@*KING REPEAT THE SAME SHIT?  I’M ABOUT TO SIGN A SOLO DEAL WITH SONY.  BUT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT I GO BACK TO AVENTURA WHETHER I’M A SUCCESS OR FAILURE.  DID FERGIE LEAVE THE BLACK EYE PEAS
BECAUSE SHE DID HER SOLO THING?? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!  THEN WHY SHOULD I? IF MY INTENTIONS ARE TO DO MY SOLO ALBUM AND REALLY NOT COME BACK TO AVENTURA AFTER, WOULD I BE WRITING ALL THIS SHIT AND LATER LOOK LIKE A LIAR WITH ALL THE FANS??? THINK ABOUT THAT ONE.

I HATE REPEATING MYSELF. BUT SOME PEOPLE’S MEMORIES JUST SEEM TO FAIL. FANS, WHEN YOU’RE DONE READING THIS, GO ON YOUTUBE AND FIND THE “EL SHOW DE CRISTINA WITH AVENTURA” LINK WHERE MIKEY HIMSELF EXPLAINS HOW
I’VE KEPT THIS GROUP TOGETHER, AND WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT THE TOMMY MOTTOLA SITUATION.  IN THAT SAME INTERVIEW I SAID I WAS THE ONE THAT WORKED THE MOST IN AVENTURA, AND I WON’T CHANGE MY STATEMENT BECAUSE THAT’S A FACT.  THEY WERE ALL SITTING THERE WHEN I SAID IT. YA’LL DIDN’T ASK YOURSELVES WHY THEY ALL SAT THERE WITH THEIR MOUTHS SHUT??? AT THAT SHOW ALL 3 OF THEM HAD THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OUT OR DISAGREE WITH ME, AND THEY STAYED SILENT BECAUSE THEY KNEW I WASN’T LYING.  IF ANYONE WANTS TO DISAGREE WITH ME A YEAR LATER, GO RIGHT AHEAD, BUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.  IN CONCLUSION IF MY PRESENCE AT THE VMAS OFFENDED MIKEY FOR WHATEVER REASON, I APOLOGIZE. BUT I’M NOT APOLOGIZING FOR ACCEPTING THE INVITE.  WHAT I’M TRULY SORRY FOR WAS THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION ON MY PART. I SHOULD HAVE EXPLAINED DIRECTLY TO MIKEY WHY I WAS GONNA GO TO THE VMA’S ALONE.,BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG STEP AND HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE FACTS AS OPPOSED TO TURNING ON THE TV AND BEING SURPISED AT SEEING ME PRESENT AN AWARD. AND TO ALL THOSE FANS THAT EXPRESSED THEIR OPINIONS ON THIS MATTER – ALL I ASK IS PLEASE, FOR FUTURE REFERENCE – WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW THE FACTS, OR YOU’VE ONLY SIMPLY HEARD ONE SIDE OF THE STORY – DON’T CRUCIFY ANYONE ‘CUZ YOU ARE TAKING THE SITUATION FOR GRANTED AND MIGHT MAKE THINGS WORSE.  WE’VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS AND WE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES.  WE’VE ARGUED, WE’VE
FOUGHT AND WE’VE STILL BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER GOOD MUSIC TO YOU GUYS. SO LET BROTHERS BE BROTHERS.

AND ONE LAST THING THAT WILL PROBABLY BECOME THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY STATEMENT – IF FOR SOME REASON IN THE FUTURE THIS WERE TO OCCUR AGAIN, WHERE ANY OF THE OTHER 3 MEMBERS OF AVENTURA MAKE ANY NEGATIVE COMMENT IN PUBLIC ABOUT ME, AND NOT DIRECTLY AND ONLY BETWEEN US IN OUR CIRCLE IN PRIVATE – QUOTE ME – “THAT WILL BE MY LAST DAY IN AVENTURA.” LIKE ALL OF US HUMAN BEINGS, THERE ARE MANY THINGS ABOUT MIKEY, HENRY AND LENNY THAT ARE NOT PERFECT. BUT YOU’VE NEVER SEEN OR
READ ANYTHING NEGATIVE FROM ME OUT IN THE PUBLIC.

I TELL EM TO THEIR FACES, BUT I KEEP IT BETWEEN US. IF ANYONE WANTS TO TAKE MY WORDS AS A THREAT …THAT’S YOUR CHOICE.  BUT ITS AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND NOTHING WILL MAKE ME GO BACK ON MY WORD. NOT EVEN A CONTRACT.

THANK YOU FANS – FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO READ MY LONG ASS NOTE. L.O.L. I FEEL MUCH BETTER THAT I GOT EVERYTHING OFF OF MY CHEST.

PS. STAY ALERT – HENRY’S ALBUM IS COMING SOON.  PLEASE BE POSITIVE AND SUPPORT HENRY.  REMEMBER – AN INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS IS AN AVENTURA SUCCESS AS WELL.

YOURS TRULY
THE KID ROMEO
