Xavi Questions If He's Really the Bad Guy on New Single ‘El Malo'
Xavi is fine with being el malo — but he knows he probably isn't really the bad guy. On Thursday, the música mexicana star released his solo single, 'El Malo.'
'All my songs come from real life situations, and this one's for anyone who gets called the bad guy just for keeping it real,' Xavi tells Rolling Stone about the song.

The ToroHFilms-directed video captures Xavi inside a courtroom as he takes the stand to make his declarations, reliving the story of his breakup with a baddie who also tells her side of the story.
'If I'm the bad guy in the story, why do you forget you hate me when you're drunk?' sings Xavi in Spanish. 'You act like you're my girlfriend, and you send me pictures of the Victorias,/And you act like it didn't happen when you're sober.'
While this is Xavi's first solo release this year, he also joined Belinda on single 'Mírame Feliz' and he was joined by Neton Vega on 'Hija de Papi' and Manuel Turizo on 'En Privado.' The new singles followed his debut album, titled Next, which dropped last year.
'I was trying to keep it as original as possible. I think all the fusions kept it 100 with the genre. We're not jumping straight to reggaeton or anything like that,' he told Rolling Stone of the record last summer. 'As Mexicans, we want to keep pushing our genre and flag as high as possible. And we want to stay true to the genre and take it as far as possible.'

Savannah Chrisley's MAGA Posts Start To Irritate Fans: ‘Your Entire Personality'
When does something become too much? Savannah Chrisley may be close to finding out as fans start feeling like she's making MAGA and the POTUS her entire personality. She naturally feels indebted to the president for her parents' pardon but even before then she was already an avid supporter. Savannah and her family have never tried to hide their support for the MAGA agenda. And while many fans agree with Savannah on this, she has also recently been seeing an uptick of fans who are getting a bit tired of her redundant posts. This could prove a problem since she makes a lot of her income from social media. Savannah has been clear that her support for the President has been a huge part of her fight in getting her parents out of prison where they were sentenced due to their involvement in a bank fraud scheme. She felt that the POTUS could help her ensure her parents came home safely. She was present during his campaign and a quick look at her Instagram feed shows that her top pinned posts are all about President Trump. And it turns out she was right. The president pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley and the family was reunited. So is it really surprising that Savannah is grateful? However, is it starting to go a bit overboard? Some of her fans are starting to leave comments on her posts about making MAGA her 'entire personality.' In a photo she posted of her dressed all in pink with her pink MAGA hat, she referred to herself as 'MAGA Barbie.' Some fans thought it was cute. Others thought it super cringe and didn't hold back from telling her. 'What she did for her parents is remarkable and took 95% of us off-guard, but sheesh, she could show a little humility,' one follower commented. 'We get it Savannah, you love Trump,' another said. One more commenter added, 'Honestly, she's always been insufferable.' It looks like some fans may be getting tired of the current narrative. Wonder if we'll be seeing more of this in their upcoming Lifetime series or if they'll finally move on to something new. Odds are, it'll be more of the same. Chrisley Knows Best is streaming on Peacock. TELL US – DO YOU THINK SAVANNAH MAY BE GOING A BIT OVERBOARD? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER MAGA POSTS? The post Savannah Chrisley's MAGA Posts Start To Irritate Fans: 'Your Entire Personality' appeared first on Reality Tea.
