Mexican singer Christian Nodal has rejected allegations that he is a delinquent child-support debtor, calling the claims circulating in the media and on social networks false and unsupported by any judicial finding.
Through his representation agencies, the regional Mexican music star issued a statement addressing reports about his financial responsibilities toward Inti, the daughter he shares with Argentine singer Cazzu.
"There is no court ruling, official record or evidence identifying Christian Nodal as a child-support debtor," his representatives said in a statement posted on Instagram.
The text said recent accusations against the singer were based on speculation rather than verified legal documents. His team also urged the media and the public to avoid presenting unproven claims as established facts, particularly when the dispute concerns a minor.
The controversy follows months of public discussion surrounding Nodal and Cazzu's co-parenting relationship. The former couple welcomed Inti on Sept. 14, 2023, and announced their separation in May 2024. Two months later, Nodal married Mexican-American singer Ángela Aguilar.
Since the separation, Cazzu has spoken publicly about some of the challenges she says she has faced as a mother. During a concert, the Argentine artist told her audience: "Like many of you, I not only receive no help, I receive attacks."
Her comments renewed scrutiny of Nodal's role as a father and prompted speculation about whether he had met his financial obligations. However, Cazzu's remarks did not amount to a judicial determination that Nodal owed unpaid child support.
Nodal's representatives emphasized that distinction in their response. Under Mexican law, being publicly accused of failing to provide sufficient financial support is not the same as being legally registered or declared a delinquent child-support debtor. Such a designation would ordinarily require a formal proceeding and an enforceable determination from the appropriate authority.
The dispute has also become connected in public discussion to the so-called "Cazzu Law," a legislative proposal intended to protect mothers and children when one parent refuses to authorize a minor's travel abroad.
The proposal emerged after Cazzu described difficulties obtaining permission to travel internationally with Inti during her professional tours. The singer said the situation placed her career and freedom of movement at the discretion of her daughter's father.
Nodal's lawyer later challenged Cazzu's account, saying the artist had not categorically or permanently refused to authorize the child's travel. According to El País, the attorney maintained that agreements concerning the child should be handled through the proper legal channels.
The "Cazzu Law" proposal is not a judgment against Nodal. It is a broader initiative inspired by the controversy and seeks to create a legal process through which a judge could authorize international travel when one parent withholds consent without adequate justification.
Nodal's team also denied reports that the singer had attempted to block or interfere with the proposal. His representatives said there was no evidence supporting those allegations and accused some outlets and social media users of linking him to legal and political actions without documentation.
The competing statements reveal an increasingly public conflict between the former couple, but they do not establish that Nodal has been found legally responsible for unpaid child support.
As of the statement's release, no publicly identified court ruling had declared the singer a delinquent child-support debtor. The disagreement over financial support, parental authorization and travel therefore remains a matter of conflicting public claims unless a court or another competent authority rules otherwise.
