Argentina winning the World Cup brought many people pride and excitement. Millions celebrated the win, including celebrities like Ángela Aguilar. The 19-year-old posed with the colors of the Argentine flag to celebrate, noting how proud she is as a 25% Argentinian. However, she was met with backlash, and her father, Pepe Aguilar, had to come to her defense.

Ángela shared a gallery of photos inside a tour bus with the caption, “I can’t explain it to you, because you won’t understand 25% Argentina, 100% proud.” “Today, we are all more celestial than the sky.”

People from different backgrounds and cultures celebrated Argentina’s win, but many were hurt by the post. Some criticized it because her career revolves around Mexican music and culture. “And if Mexico had won you would have been here with a real Mexican dress,” one person wrote. Others just didn’t believe her.

The comments got so bad her dad Pepe began arguing with people, explaining her ancestry. “Her mother is Mexico-Argentina. Her grandmother is 100% from Buenos Aires (that is, from Baires),” he responded.

Pepe’s presence in the comments became a new talking point, with one user suggesting that someone take his phone away. “I just came to see Pepe Aguilar fighting in the comments hahahahaha” another person wrote.

As Pepe explained, Ángela’s mother, Aneliz Álvarez, has American, Mexican, and Argentine ancestry. Her grandmother, Eva Mendoza, was born in Argentina.

Angela was born in Los Angeles, California, United States. Her paternal grandparents, Flor Silvestre and Antonio Aguilar were not only born in Mexico but are two of the most important regional Mexican singers in history.
