Mamá y hermana de B King revelan detalles desconocidos de su MUERTE y su relación con Marcela Reyes

Byron Sanchez Salazar, better known as Big King, was a 31-year-old man, full of life. He wanted to be a famous reggaeton player. But unfortunately, death was in his way. In the same way, the DJ Reggio Clown. Él compartía este apartamento en Medellín con Adriana Salazar, su mamá, su gran compañera. Y era muy cercano a Estefanía Agudelo, his sister who lives in the United States.

And talking to them, many things have caught my attention and I want to ask them. And being a reggaeton player, why did he end up being invited to an electronic music festival. Who was Reggio Clown? I had not met him before. Why did you hire him? And why did you want to make him feel like a star in Polanco, one of the best neighborhoods in Mexico City?

Ariana, thank you. Thank you for accepting our interview. Thank you for welcoming us to your home. We feel very much at home. I wanted to come here so you could tell me things that you may know, the same thing, Estefania, but at the same time, so that I can tell you about him. Because many times, we, the journalists, we dedicate ourselves to speculating and also to adding reputations, only because we hear it from somewhere.

When Bayron is invited and told, you have an invitation to Mexico, what happens, who does it, how does all this begin?

Well, 8 days before he traveled, he told me, very happy, he was happy, happy, happy, because his dream was always to be a famous singer, from the age of 14, so I was very happy.

He told me, mom, they hired me in Mexico to sing, look, I'm happy, and I'm like, daddy, how nice. I was like, who? So he showed me Reggio, the first time I saw him. So they hired me, look, they do events there. But when I saw Reggio, I felt something, the truth, I don't know, like I didn't like him very much, like something, like a heart, like a blind heartbreak, like yes, because I took good care of him, I took good care of him, so I told him, ah, well, son, how

rich, well, I didn't want to tell him anything because whenever I I told him, well, son, that's great. I didn't want to tell him anything because whenever I told him something, he would say, you're going to tell me everything. So I said, no, I can't tell him because he's going to tell me that he's going to tell him

about his trip to Mexico. So I didn't tell him anything. And he was very happy perform. He was happy, happy, happy to go there to Mexico to perform in that show.

And he travels on Thursday, September 11.

He travels on September 11. When he arrives, he talks to me, he says, Mom, I arrived, super good, and I, how delicious my love, as soon as you are installed, you talk to me. He said, yes, mom, they already picked me up, they already picked me up. And he talks to me later, he says, I'm already here at the hotel, look mom, so beautiful. I was happy, my son was happy to go to Mexico.

And that's where it starts to happen. He didn't know the DJ Reggio Cloud. No, I didn't know him.

He didn't know who he was until he called you? Until... I didn't know him, I mean, never, never. When he arrived, Reggio picked him up at the airport and they already knew each other. And they knew each other, but I didn't know him.

And did he tell you why Reggio had noticed him? No, we never talked about it, There was no time to talk about it. There was no time to talk about why.

No, really no.

And what started to happen?

He comes, he talks to me, he makes a video call, he shows me the hotel, he tells me he's happy, that Blanco is very cute, good. Later he told me that he was going to go to the show, that they were going to do a sound test. He was very happy. He always talked to me and said, Mom, I'm going to have breakfast, I'm going to do this. So, well, the sound test is going to be done.

That was on Saturday, I think. happy, I was very happy. The next day, which was Monday, we talked. He told me that he was happy, that the show was great, that he was very happy. And he was not happy. I told him that I was going to go to the concert, and that I was going to go to the concert, and that I was going to go to the concert,

and that I was doing great. And he wasn't happy.

Did he have videos?

Oh, I told him, Daddy, do you have videos, photos, send them to me. No, I'm going to post them.

He told me that. That was on Monday. On Monday because it was a holiday in Mexico, right?

I think so, because it was Independence Day or something like that.

On Tuesday he goes to a gym in Poland.

Ah, ok, so on Tuesday I see his video at the gym and I see him very happy. And I say, oh, he's happy, I'm not even going to talk to him. In fact, I didn't talk to him on Tuesday. I talked to him on Wednesday at 11am and he said, hello, hello, hello and he stopped receiving my messages he stopped receiving my messages so I said, well, maybe they went to play rugby

and he doesn't have a way to connect the phone at around 7pm At around 6 in the afternoon, the manager called me and said, Byron is not showing up. From that moment on, my son disappeared.

What did the manager say?

He said, he didn't want to tell you because he hoped you would show up, but you didn't. I'm going to file a report right now. I started like a crazy person, desperate. I said, no, I mean, something got into my heart and I thought the worst. I said, my son, they're torturing him. I don't want, my God, them to do anything to him.

I travel on Friday. I travel on Friday to Mexico.

You travel on Friday, more or less, three days after their disappearance?

Yes, I travel on Friday. I speak on Saturday with the search team for the missing people. She tells me, we'll see each other on Monday at 9am. And I see her on Monday at 9am and at 10am we are in a place where... They show me her pictures on the computer. And that was it. He was dead.

They showed you his torso, you were telling me.

They showed me from here to here. And I recognized him because of the two tattoos he had here. And the one on his leg. He had the Virgin and the face of Jesus Christ.

And that was it. And that's when I knew he was my son. to the Virgin and to the face of Jesus Christ. And that's it. And that's when I knew it was my son.

They gave him to me.

Then we went to a town in the State of Mexico and there was his body in a bag. In a bag, they gave him to bag like this. Like this.

And that's it. I prayed to God the day before that I would leave Mexico, but with my son, alive or dead, that he would please give it back to me. And that's how it was.

You found out you were in Miami. What started to happen to you?

I found out at dawn on Wednesday. I don't know why I got up early in the morning. Surprisingly, I got up, I saw Instagram, there was a message from the manager in a photo of mine asking for my number. So I see that message and I alert myself. And I call my mom, like at 2 in the morning.

And my mom answers me crying, she tells me that my brother doesn't appear, that he's missing and my heart starts to get very worried, very worried but at first I really kept the hope that it was something like a rumba or that the phone was out of battery. Days go by and my heart says, I have to go with my mom to Mexico.

I travel on Sunday to Mexico and on Monday we do the whole process of body recognition and so on.

Who was Jim Miller?

Well, I know that he met her there, they introduced her, he met her there, Byron didn't know her either, just like Reggio, right? He didn't know anyone, I mean, Byron didn't know anyone,

only his manager. And they introduced her, and they became friends, like very good friends, like, well, like they got along, as they say.

But Bayron didn't know her.

Who introduced her?

I think Reggio introduced her. Reggio introduced her.

He came with his manager, with Juan Camilo Gallego.

With Juan Camilo he came to Mexico, yes.

And Juan Camilo was also introduced to another girl?

Oh, Juan Camilo was also introduced to another girl? Yes, Juan Camilo was also introduced to another girl. They introduced him to two friends. Juan Camilo had a friend, Ibairo, and he met Angie. And they became friends. I imagine they got along. Yes.

I think that's how it was. That's how it was.

He didn't know her. And the days have passed, and what have you heard from this person that he did not know Reggio?

He did not know Reggio, he did not know Reggio, well when we arrived in Mexico we did not know who Reggio was, they started to tell us that Reggio had many problems there, that he had delicate problems, that they had already tried to kidnap her and they had released her so that's what we knew about Reggie

that she had problems

They tried to involve this girl Angie Miller but it was determined that she had nothing to do with it

Yes, when I came I realized that Angie was missing Miller Juan Camilo, I met him in Mexico because Byron had only been with him for 3 months. Byron would tell me, I have a team, I have a manager, he was getting shows and all that. Before leaving he did a show in a club, but I met Camilo in Mexico too. Because when I arrived, Camilo picked us up at the airport. And I met him there in Mexico. I didn't know him.

Do you know how much they paid for his presentation?

Well, what he told me was that they were going to give me $1,500. I don't know, because that's all he told me. And the hotel paid, the tickets, the stay.

That's what he told me before he left.

And was he very well recognized?

No, Byron was again like...

Like, like going out to shine. I mean, he was again like getting up from all the sleep he had since he was 14. He was always fascinated by singing. he had since he was 14 years old. He was always fascinated by singing. Always, since he was 14 years old. So he had recognition. When he started doing a song called Muete Latina, Nicky Jan's manager called him and they did a remix with Nicky Jan.

So that was a very good moment for him, right? But he comes back and he goes down and up again. Nicky Jan. Entonces, ese fue un momento también como muy bueno para él, ¿cierto? Pero él vuelve y se apaga y vuelve y sube, así. Entonces, era como nivel, como desnivelado. O sea, le iba así bien, después volvió y bajaba así.

Alguna duda de parte de ustedes, Estefania y Adriana, y por qué terminan invitándolo él a esto. and Adriana, and why do they end up inviting him to this? Has it crossed your mind if this could have been a trap?

That's what we ask ourselves, because there are many doubts regarding that hiring of Byron and going there to that show. irony de ir allá a ese show la verdad pues si nos imaginamos que pudo haber sido una trampa cierto porque pues son muchas cosas inconclusas cierto como que un festival de electrónica mi hermano cantaba reggaeton si uno, in this pain you think about a lot of things, Rafael. You think about a lot of things.

Adriana.

I don't know.

I think about a lot of things. I don't know. It could be that my son was in the wrong place. Because, Bayron... I know that for any mother, her son is bad, right? But I know who my son was. I know who he was.

He was very cute. He wasn't there for what they did to him. So I can believe that I was in the wrong place. And it was... Well, suddenly... I don't know, I don't want to... I don't know. It could have been because of Reggio, who had his problems.

Do you understand me? So, there are many things on my mind.

And a sign appeared nearby.

Yes, a sign appeared.

From the Michoacan family, which said what?

That they had been hit by a car. That they had been hit by a car. So, I don't know why my son ended up there. I don't know. The truth is, it's very hard. I don't know. The truth is, that's very hard. I don't know.

I can believe it was because of Reggio. That he was there and sucked, as they say. I can't believe that.

Tell us about the threats he had a few months before. What did those threats say and where did they come from?

Yes, there were threats a few months before from his ex-wife, Marcela. In a message from his work team, they sent a message to my brother. My brother made the public denunciation and said that he feared for his life. That was the only threat my brother had in previous months through his ex-wife.

What did the threats say? What did Adriana say? You were living with him.

Yes. And how seriously he took them. I was with him that day. They had their problems after the separation. So they started saying, no, don't say this, don't say that

and she sends a message, her team sends a message telling her not to say anything else because if not, her boyfriend will tell the police so that was the threat. So, obviously, I told her right there, no, we have to file a complaint with the DA, because, well, there, it was practically a threat, right?

I don't understand her boyfriend.

Well, no, she tells him not to say anything else, because her boyfriend tells him what he needs.

Her boyfriend? Who was the boyfriend?

The boyfriend was someone who was in jail.

And did he take that very seriously?

No, at the time yes, but later no. Later, you relax, right? Later no. Life went back to normal. It went back to normal and things went back to normal. We didn't pay much attention to that. We said, well, those are couple fights and nothing is going to happen.

How did you take that threat from supposedly Marcela Reyes in this case?

I took it seriously, right? Because obviously, threats are threats. And well, I was a little calm that my brother had made the public complaint in some way to be calm. At that time, my brother went to visit me in the United States

for two months, a long time. He stayed with me, he was there with me, helping me with my things. We took it seriously, but as my mom says, life went back to normal. My brother returned to Colombia and he started making music again. I saw him again with that brightness in his eyes, wanting to move forward. Because after the breakup, he was a little off.

It's not easy to leave a relationship for so long. So he was a little off. And then I saw him with a lot of brightness, happy, making music again on social media, because he had turned off a lot of social media, he hardly posted, he hardly posted anything, he was very apathetic to social media. While he was a little apathetic, and I saw him again putting stories, happy, making music, the last song fascinated me. And he was very, very, very, very happy, again believing in his project, in his dream. His voice had already matured more, and I tell my mom and my friends, he was ready, he was ready to shine like he dreamed.

And you told me when we were preparing the interview, that he happened to see an episode that we did in Beyond Silence with the mother of Zair Getty. And what did he say to you and how did you see him when he talked about Ze Getty? And what did he say to you? And how did you see him when he talked about Zaire Getty?

Yes, curiously, in February, when he accompanied me, I saw him very close to that singer, I saw the songs, I saw your podcast, I was following very closely his news, so I asked him, what are you watching? Because he was cooking at my house, and listening to his music and so on.

So I found it curious. So he told me, look, I'm in shock with this news, this singer passed away, he sang regional music, and I was listening to him singing. So I found that very curious because this happened to my brother and reading comments, people commented that it was very similar to the story of Zagir Ghett.

It caused me a lot of curiosity because I said, wow, I went back to the month before in February when he was in my house and he was glued to the news, looking at why these things happen, was in shock by the news. Who would have thought that months later,

he would be the one.

Let's spend a second to talk about your relationship with Marcel Arreyes and what you can tell me. Not to get into that intimacy. How do you know them? What did you think at the beginning of Marcela?

The truth is that they met in Miami, yes, it was in Miami when they met again. At first, there was a desire to work together because she was already in her DJ career, my brother was also in his musical career. So at first it was like, well, let's make an alliance. Look, Marcela, we can make music. Let's do something like she's the DJ and suddenly I'm the one who sings.

So this relationship of work and artists begins. And I really didn't imagine that my brother and her would be able to consolidate that relationship. Many years, 7 years, it's a considerable time. At first, yes, I saw it more than anything, first as work, and when I saw my brother so in love with her and everything, yes, I thought it was It took me by surprise, really. My brother went to live with her and they had a relationship. The truth is, I'm not very aware of how their relationship was,

because I live abroad and I don't share much with them, to be honest.

How were they?

Let's see, how were they? No, they were a nice couple. I know that Marcela loved Bayron. Marcela loved him. Bayron also, they loved each other. I'm not one of those mothers-in-law who is always in the house. No, I was there on time.

When they told me that there was a meeting, they said, Mom, are you coming to the meeting? Yes, I'm going. So I was there, I saw them very in love. a reunion. Entonces, ma, ¿vienes a la reunión que va a haber? Sí, yo voy. Entonces yo iba, yo los veía muy enamorados. Veía una pareja bonita. Byron quería mucho el niño, lo adoraba.

El niño también lo quería mucho a él. Pues hasta donde, lo que yo vi fue bonito. Fue bonito. Ya después, pues, como todas couples, he has his problems.

Did he dedicate himself to that home and not to his dream of being a star?

Yes, of course. He gave himself up. He gave himself up. He gave himself up and yes, he stopped... Suddenly he did sing songs and everything, but not... Not like before, so passionate. He gave himself up to his home. He gave himself up a lot.

And they end that relationship, obviously, that divorce.

Yes, yes, yes.

And he comes to live with you.

Yes, then it comes to the point that it's normal. I think that all relationships have their good and bad moments. The relationship wasn't going bad and Byron broke up and came to live with me.

That's how it was.

Has it ever crossed your mind that the threat that happened a few months ago could have materialized in Mexico. I don't want to believe it. I don't want to believe it.

No. No.

You?

No, I don't know. I don't want to believe it either, like my mom says. I can't believe that a person... No, no, no. When this happened, did Marcela called you? Yes, Marcela called me. She was crying, worried. She told me that I could help her. She helped me by giving me the phone number of the consul of the embassy in Mexico, in Colombia. He helped me a lot too.

And yes, we talked for a while. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I felt her sincere at that moment.

Part of these threats was because Byron was posting things and they didn't like it much and you were also telling me that Byron's manager was telling him that that was good for the controversy and that he could help them.

Tell us a little bit.

I mean, Byron did a lot of TikToks, yes, like Dolido, like what, and I said, daddy, why do you do that if you've been separated for a year and a half, I mean, I don't like you doing that. He said, no mom, it's just that my work team tells me to do it, because that's good for me, because there are more views, because it goes up in the followers, because people like that, but I really didn't like him doing it, it didn't seem like it,

I said, but dad, that relationship, year and a half apart, so why do you put like little things, like

bombs and things, so yes, that's how it was, but I didn't like that he did it. Like, starting to post things to gain the fame of Marcela Reyes, and suddenly we create controversy and that makes us a little more visible?

Yes, it was like that. He did that because of that. The guy behind him would tell him, do this, do this. So he did it.

And how did you see that, Estefany?

I think that now the whole issue of social media is handled with, unfortunately, with controversy and others. I don't think my brother ever felt, my brother had already surpassed Marcela a long time ago. There was no more jealousy or that my brother felt something because we talked a lot

and my brother cut off communication with Marcela from the first moment they stopped talking. They never talked again. So I think he did it more than anything else. Now it's used a lot don't think there was a feeling of doing it because he felt jealous or something. no no había como de un sentimiento de hacerlo porque lo sintiera de en realidad celoso o algo no mi hermano totalmente ya la había superado y ya era el libro viejo como dicen y aquí casi

para terminar cuéntanos sobre cómo comienza el cantando de dónde sale esto que era lo que él Tell us how he started singing. Where did this come from? What did he want to do? What did he vibrate with?

Bayron, as I told you, Bayron always wanted to sing since he was 14. I always supported him. That's why I have no regrets. I supported him until the last moment. He started singing at 14, and he became very spiritual.

That's another tranquility he left me. Byron, many months ago, I think not years, he's been around for two years, in that world of spirituality, he was very spiritual.

That's why the tattoo on his torso. Yes. He was very spiritual. That's why the tattoo on his torso?

Yes, he was very spiritual. He didn't like people talking bad about anyone. Byron was a very special being. Byron was loved by many people. Many people. You don't know everyone who talks about Byron.

Even a boy told us, Byron took my hunger away many times. He was very cute. He always wanted to give love. He even told us, a boy told us, Byron took my hunger away many times. He was very nice. He always wanted to give love, he wanted the family to be united.

He always told me, mom, how nice it is to be united, to buy us gifts and give them to us that day. He was very family-oriented. Byron was very spiritual too, he had very nice things. And he wanted to move forward with his music

He wanted to be great, he always wanted to be great He always wanted to be great His life was music

And you saw him more empowered lately

Yes, I saw him very empowered Yes, he was mature in his music story His voice, everything. I already saw him grow up. With everything that was happening lately, I saw him grow up.

Yes.

How will you remember your brother?

I remember him as a noble, kind person. My brother was very happy. He liked to imitate people. So he imitated and made us laugh a lot with the imitations he did. He met someone and he already took him and started to imitate him. So I'm going to remember him as...

He was very, very, very, very noble and very kind. I feel that darkness couldn't withstand his brightness. Because my brother was shining and I saw him ready to triumph. His dream was snatched away from him.

What does he leave in your heart, Adriana?

How he has been so big. They took my whole life. They left my whole life as a child. But I know I'll see him again. And I know he's doing well. He's happy and he's with his dad.

I'm very hurt by the way he died. Because he didn't deserve to die like that. I don't think anyone deserves to die like that. Especially not a person as beautiful as him. Because he was a very special person. So...

I'm left with a void, but God gave it to me at the age of 31. And I was very happy those years with him. Every day he would tell me, Mom, I love you, I love you, and he would kiss me. No, it's something, I mean, he leaves me that void, but I know that where he is, he is fine. And I know that I will find him.

I will find him again. That's it.

Adriana, thank you. Thank you, Rafael. I'm sorry.

Because you are a great human being and you know how to do interviews very well.

Thank you for allowing me to be here. And see the photo of your son, the prosecutor, the people who helped us in the country, the people who helped us in the country, the people who helped us in the country, the people who helped us in the country, the people who helped us in the country,

the people who helped us in the country thank the people who helped us in Mexico. The prosecutors were with us, the missing persons unit. I want to thank them. And I also want to say that I don't want Mexico, because everyone in Mexico is not bad. So I don't leave Mexico saying, Mexico, what a horrible country. No, no, there are good people too.

So I thank the people who helped me in Mexico. It was a lot of support, really, psychologists, they took care of us. So I want to thank everyone and thank all the people who have given me a lot of love and have given me a lot of peace and many good things.

A beautiful country, of course.
