“There is always a time to refocus on yourself, because when you focus a lot on something or lose focus, you can go one way or the other, but the important thing is to refocus and refocus and that’s what we are always doing. Keep preparing, keep gaining knowledge, study. Nowadays, I think it’s great to start studying,” he reflected. L- Ghent in an interview with Mario Pergolini for “Another lost day.”
In a personal report issued by El Trece, Elián Ángel Valenzuela, real name of the singer, confessed his humble origins and his approach to music. In a fragment of the dialogue with the television host, the leader of cumbia 420 and RKT maintained that he could not finish high school, having to leave his studies in the third year of school. Pergolini proposed that he finish his preparation with a specialized educational system, a method that the urban vocalist Thunder is carrying forward too. L-Ghent I gladly accept.
During the interview in the series, the musician told for the first time how he experienced his one hundred days of detention – after being accused in a case of illegitimate deprivation of liberty and coercive threats – and described the experience as a personal break. “When I was going to get the third lawyer… it was days 70, 80, I said: ‘delete the topic, I’m back’…,” he recalled. During the first weeks he remained isolated: “It was a common cell, very isolated… At one point I asked if they could give me a companion because I was very bored; I was going to go crazy.”
Crudely, he admitted that in those days he came to doubt that he would regain his freedom. “I began to doubt it…”, he noted, but, nevertheless, he said that this experience left him a lesson: “I learned. Today I see things with more value… they have taken away my freedom for a certain period of time… you realize how valuable it is to have your time, freedom, to be able to see the people you love when you want. That is priceless.”
The episode for which the vocalist was arrested would have begun in the early morning of May 27, at the exit of a bowling alley in General Rodríguez, when an incident occurred between those close to the singer and a municipal employee. According to the prosecutor’s accusation, after the altercation, L-Gante would have gone to the complaining employee’s house, armed, forced him to get into his car with another person, under threats, and would have kept them detained for about twenty minutes.
That confinement, as he said, was not wasted time. The artist explained that his first album written behind bars emerged, titled Cell 4. The musician assured that this period allowed him to concentrate and transform adversity into creativity: “It was a moment of greater focus… I said: ‘I don’t want to spend a lot of time here, but I don’t want it to be wasted time either.'”
At the same time, La-Gante continues to go through a strong professional and financial crisis after breaking his relationship with his former representative. Maxi The Brother, which includes a complaint for a million-dollar sum . According to his lawyer, the conflict left him in a “very delicate and traumatic” situation: he even discovered that the house he lived in in Canning was not in his name, and he currently “does not have a home.”
In sentimental matters, L-Gante confirmed through his networks that his love present is “free,” responding with a resounding “NOOOOOOOO” when asked if he is dating, and added that he learned “not to waste time.” Many interpreted that phrase as a response to his recent connection with the media. Wanda Nara, from whom he separated at the beginning of 2025. For now, the musician returned to his role as father of little Jamaica, the daughter he shares with his ex-partner. Tamara Baez.
This compendium of confessions once again places L-Ghent at the center of public debate. His journey, a reflection of the contradictions of an artist who emerged from the most humble heart of the suburbs, beginning to work as a teenager in a plastic factory, once again resonates strongly in the media environment.
