Will RBD ever go on tour again? After the Mexican pop group’s successful reunion tour last year, it seemed like the five members – Anahí, Dulce María, Maite Perroni, Christopher von Uckermann, and Christian Chávez – had a future in music and going on tour together. But now it sounds like they’re going through a rough patch, even though they haven’t directly spoken out about it.
Based on reports, the mishap is linked to RBD’s former manager, Guillermo Rosas, who reportedly exited the project in January. Before he parted ways with the band, Rosas and the five band members had been “equal partners” in the group’s reunion chapter. However, it looks like they ended the tour with financial issues, echoing what the band went through back in their heyday.
In a new conversation with Perroni’s husband, Andrés Tovar, he said there’s an ongoing investigation regarding the money owed to the group from the earnings of the Mexico and Colombia shows. “There is an audit in progress. They are reviewing the whole internal issue of the tour, and they are also considering talking to the companies involved to see the matter of the proceeds. Where are they? How much is it?” he told the Mexican television show Ventaneando. He also mentioned that doing an audit is the “most responsible thing” to represent the accounts to all those involved and the close numbers on past shows.
He also shared that there is “a missing amount” in the tour’s earnings compared to what the RBD members received. The audit doesn’t have a deadline yet, but Tovar says that each member has their own lawyer in addition to one American lawyer who represents RBD’s company. The lawyer is revising the tour’s earnings to make sure they receive what is due and that the money is in order.
Moreover, another reason why social media users are speculating about troubles between the members is due to Anahí posting a happy birthday message to Rosas (May 5) amid money fraud allegations. In her birthday message, she wrote that her life doesn’t have space for grudges. Though it’s not confirmed, Ventaneando’s host Pati Chapoy speculates it’s because the Mexican pop star’s husband has business ties with Rosas.
However, the birthday message was assumed to have sat poorly with the bandmates, given they individually posted about loyalty on social media. Due to all the speculation, Anahí posted another message clarifying that it was a personal opinion and that her intention wasn’t to hurt anyone. She also mentioned that in a professional matter, she completely agrees with everyone’s wish to be transparent. The following week (May 14), Anahí’s brother-in-law, Jorge D’Alessio, called out her bandmates for not wishing her a happy birthday.
Last month, Chávez told Remezcla his hopes for RBD to collaborate with Karol G, Anitta, and Ludmilla in the future. At this year’s Premio Lo Nuestro, he also shared that the group plans to work on a tour documentary and “a Live in São Paulo” they recorded.
While we don’t know what the future holds, we hope the five members end up on good terms.
