We're hoping that Jenni Rivera's nuevo sencillo "Ovarios" shows the regional Mexican cantante that it's always darkest before the dawn. Rivera, who is currently coping with the death of her ex-husband, has blown away the Billboard competition with her new, eggcentric ballad.
"Ovarios" jumped the regional Mexican airplay chart from 29 to 13 en una sola semana! This marks Rivera's 13th song to reach the Top 20 on Billboard's regional Mexican chart, a feat only one other female artist has accomplished, nuestra querida "Reina del Tex Mex," Selena.
"Ovarios" has not only brought career success to the singer, but it's unleashed un montón de drama in the Mexican music circuit. In "Ovarios" Rivera habla de dos cantantes regionales de México with whom she's feuded, Alicia Villarreal and Graciela Beltrán, respectively referring to them as "la Jefa" y "la Reina:"
...dicen que viene la Jefa, miren cómo estoy temblando, no sé de quién serán jefas si nadie les hace caso, y las que dicen ser Reinas son de un pueblo abandonado.
Beltrán, who appeared on El Gordo y la Flaca el viernes pasado, took advantage of her camera time to battle back, stating:
Ella [Rivera] es una embustera, falsa, arrogante, egoísta, envidiosa, celosa, corriente, altanera...Ella quiere ser señora, diva, jefa y todo, pero dama… dama nunca va a ser porque es una vulgar
Damn! That's some serious Thesaurus knowledge Beltrán used to fight back! And just when you thought the battlegrounds were cooling off, Rivera snapped back with:
...yo no te voy a maldecir y ofender como lo haces tu, pues la palabra dice, “bendice a los que te maldicen”. AMEN….”Reina del mundo”. Que Dios te bendiga y que nos siga dando a cada quien lo que nos merecemos.
Por supuesto, nuestra diva no se iba quedar callada! For now, Rivera tiene la palabra final. She recently wrote a letter to la prensa, stating that this is the last time she'll discuss her rivalries in public and urging reporters to leave the feud aside in upcoming interviews.
Who will throw the next punch in this true life telenovela?
