Emma Coronel Aispuro has once again appeared alongside figures from the worlds of digital entertainment and regional Mexican music.

The wife of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán attended a party hosted by the Sinaloan streamer Víctor Ordóñez—known as “Lonche de Huevito”—in Los Angeles, California. During the celebration, she sang “El Niño de la Tuna,” one of the most famous *corridos* (ballads) dedicated to the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

This moment comes weeks after Coronel began a new chapter as a content creator. Last August, she made her debut on the platform Kick alongside Lonche de Huevito and Guillermo Peña (“Willito”) in a broadcast lasting over five hours, during which she discussed her relationship with Guzmán and her time in prison.

Víctor Ordóñez, a native of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, first gained notoriety on social media and subsequently built a community of millions of followers. His content covers video games, live streams, travel, entertainment, and collaborations with other internet personalities.

His public association with Emma Coronel gained momentum on August 24, 2026, when the two appeared alongside “Willito” for the former beauty queen’s Kick debut. During that broadcast, Coronel shared details about her personal life and recalled meeting “El Chapo” when she was 17, at a party in Canelas, Durango.

Since then, Ordóñez has become one of Coronel’s regular companions in her foray into streaming.

Roberto Tapia’s *corrido* presents a musical account of various episodes attributed to the life of Joaquín Guzmán. The song begins by focusing on his childhood in the mountains of Sinaloa and his family’s financial hardships. One of the passages notes that, as a child, Guzmán reportedly sold oranges to help out at home. The song also mentions his origins in Badiraguato and subsequently addresses his entry into the world of drug trafficking.

Another segment mentions Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Ignacio Coronel, and presents the Sinaloa Cartel as one of Mexico’s most powerful criminal organizations. The lyrics also refer to Guzmán’s own nickname.
