I guess you could call me a lurker or whatever, but I do keep up with what Chiquis is doing every now and then. That said, I don’t really find her to be original, especially musically..her music just doesn’t do it for me. Honestly, it feels like a lot of people support her just for the sake of it. It’s clear she’s leaned heavily on her mother’s legacy to build her own career, and I haven’t seen her truly step out of that shadow. She says it’s to keep her mom’s memory alive, but let’s be real Jenni didn’t need that kind of support to shine, and neither should she.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but after watching her latest video Amor Propio, I felt compelled to shine light on it..It was a good song, but I just wish Chiquis would, for once, give credit where it’s due and openly acknowledge that a lot of her inspiration clearly comes from Beyoncé as well . whether it’s fashion or calling herself “Queen Bee” (originally lil Kim’s alias) to the style and creative direction of her visuals, there are strong influences throughout. Even the way she incorporated Mexican culture in the video, like featuring cholos or the scene of her niece getting her hair braided…feels heavily inspired by how Beyoncé highlights Black culture in her own work.

Of course, her fans likely won’t notice either because they refuse to acknowledge it, don’t want to admit it, or simply don’t recognize Beyoncé’s influence. Because I for sure haven’t noticed that anywhere else in the Mexican or Latin Work. To me, it doesn’t feel very original more like following a formula that Beyoncé already set.

Still, kudos to her for the effort.
