What began as an interview with L-Gante, on the floor of A la afternoon (América), to review his time at the 2024 Gardel Awards, his artistic career and his controversies, took a backseat when the note had just begun. The thing is, with the singer sitting in the studio, Luis Ventura decided to leave the program.
“Hello, Elián. Welcome to the Afternoon. How are you?”, the journalist began by saying, who is replacing Karina Mazzocco as host. The artist responded quietly: “How is it going? Good afternoon”. There, Luis introduced him and decided to leave. “As we had promised, L-Ghent was going to be in our studios. So he left him in the company of the journalists. Welcome“, he said, without getting upset while the camera showed him, leaving the apartment to go behind the camera, to sit in a chair with his arms crossed.
At that moment, journalist Diego Esteves spoke. “Did you think Ventura wasn’t going to greet you? He is professional,” he noted. “Was educated. It must be told. You who always go straight ahead, there was a climate of certain tension because Luis off the air did not greet you,” he explained, about what was happening. “Nothing happens,” the cumbiero tried to downplay it, somewhat surprised.
“A capable person can understand when they look at you, when they talk to you, but since I arrived, Ventura has not spoken to me or looked at me. “So I don’t understand,” he said, while they told him that when he was in prison, “Ventura was helping you at your worst.” ”I already know that story. At one point he found a reason to be offended at me, which was on my daughter’s birthday. Maybe I had to cancel at the last minute because the emotions were stronger than me, because I hadn’t enjoyed my daughter for a long time,” said the musician, about the origin of the conflict, which dates back to September 2023. Meanwhile, Ventura was still crossed arms and completely serious.
But when L-Gante assured that he was willing to apologize, Ventura burst into the studio. “Sorry! We have a star. I don’t want the note to go through me. Under these conditions, no. He has a lot to talk about. I don’t want them to talk about me. “What happened to me, I know,” he said. “Do the program you have to do, it is always the best”he stated, and then disappeared from the place, behind the scenery.
Surprised, the cumbia 420 singer did not let the situation go. “Before, I want to say that Ventura is also the star. “I thought he was going to interview me,” she said, in a climate of tension, while the panelists of the cycle sought to redirect the report.
“I am not worried about issues with Justice. Maybe I should be focused on making music. I can get worried when I have to go to court and attend to those things that take away my time to focus,” she said, referring to the causes she has to face. However, towards the end he ended up referring to the journalist’s unexpected departure.
In order to put a cold shoulder to the situation, Elián dedicated his last seconds in the air to try to get closer to Luis. “Greetings to Ventura. I hope you interview me next time. For me he is a high-level journalist and he is a star”, he concluded, while Diego Esteves followed the same line. “Surely you will be able to see it now and they will come to an agreement,” he concluded. There was still a certain nervousness in the air.
