Cuco almost canceled after being slammed as ‘pedophile’, but internet defends him: ‘There’s no actual proof’

Mexican-American singer Cuco, whose real name is Omar Banos is known for his 2017 hit  ‘Lo Que Siento’ which attracted over 109 million streams on Spotify. The 22-year-old musician who prefers keeping to himself is now trending on Twitter after being slammed with serious accusations. 

Cuco is in the news for all the wrong reasons and it all began with an alleged screenshot of his conversation with a 15 year-old-girl which supposedly took place when he was only a few days from turning 18. The girl who shared the original screenshot also tweeted, “And Cuco he’s a pedophile. Stopped listening to him as well it’s not that hard to stop listening.”

Meanwhile, the screenshot showcases the alleged conversation between Cuco and the girl in which he’s seen asking for her age and in response, she says she’s 15. In the following tweet when the girl asks Cuco if he has he’s bothered by her age, he replies, “LMAO Nah Doesn’t Bug Me’

The tweet and screenshots have been since taken down. However, the word was quick to spread on social media and fans of Cuco, Cucopuffs, who are truly shocked to learn about the accusations made against the young singer.

Reacting to this one of his wrote, “Im honestly so suprised cuco is a “pedo” tbh i been seeing mad stuff saying he had just turned 18 the day of the messages but idk. I love his music. He aint seem like that type of guy but if he was just 17 and she was 15 i feel like its not too bad but idk the whole story.”

Pointing out the age difference another fan reasoned: “Its funny how yall are trying to cancel cuco when the girl he was talking too was deadass a two year difference from his age. he isn’t a pedophile, why the f**k is this trending again.”

Another fan who isn’t convinced by the viral screenshots wrote, “Y’all trying to ruin cuco’s career over a screenshot that was probably photoshopped and y’all can’t cancel 6ix9ine??”

“Im sorry but y’all this bored to cancel someone who has been “exposed” for being a pedo aka cuco only because of a single screenshot that has nothing sexual in it?? go donate to blm charities or sum tf” said a fan. 

And a few, who have come to believe what they saw in the alleged conversation have not only labeled him a “pedophile” but also established that they wouldn’t be listening to his music anymore. While one wrote, “Cuco pedo? byeeeeeee gonna delete all my cuco music playlist”. Another shocked fan added, “I fell asleep listening to cuco woke up with him cancelled tf happened?”

But, the majority of his followers are demanding more evidence to draw conclusions on their favorite singer since these screenshots have resurfaced a third time. “Y’all are so quick to cancel Cuco over an out of context screenshot. I’m waiting to see the full convo.” said one.  Summing up what most fans were feeling, a social media user said: “Cuco is trending on Twitter with 15k tweets for being a pedophile, but I’m not seeing any actual proof  Highly skeptical and confused.”
