Eladio Carrión told Billboard he nearly died filming his own stunts for the 'De Chamquitx (Remix)' music video, in the debut episode of a new video series that premiered on Friday, 31 July 2026.

The Puerto Rican rapper was the first guest on 'Cafecito Con,' a Billboard video series hosted by Jessica Roiz. In the episode, Carrión spoke about the video for 'De Chamquitx (Remix),' his collaboration with Argentine artist Cazzu, which was released on 22 July 2026. He described it as his favourite video from CORSA, his seventh studio album. Billboard

Carrión said he performed his own stunts during the shoot and compared himself to Tom Cruise, the actor known for doing his own action sequences in major films. He did not detail the specific stunt that led to the near-fatal incident, but the claim was made directly in the interview.

He also spoke about Cazzu, calling her "my little sister" and "the best in the world." Carrión noted that Cazzu spent the entire day on set filming the video, stepping away from her life as a mother to do so. The remix pairs two of Latin music's most streamed trap and reggaetón artists.

CORSA, a 15-track album, debuted at No. 6 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart in May 2026. Billboard also placed the album on its midyear list, 26 Best Latin Albums of 2026 (So Far). The Top Latin Albums chart ranks the most popular Latin albums in the United States based on sales and streaming data compiled by Luminate.

Beyond the video shoot, Carrión opened up about his personal interests and background. He named Guy Sensei and Rock Lee, two characters from the anime series Naruto, as his favourite anime characters. He also revealed that before music, he was a competitive swimmer and a comedian — career paths that eventually gave way to the recording career he has built across seven studio albums.

The 'Cafecito Con' premiere signals Billboard's push into artist-led video content for its Latin music coverage. The series format pairs short-form interviews with a casual, conversational tone, in keeping with its name — Spanish for "little coffee," a reference to the kind of informal chat that happens over a cup.

For Carrión, the appearance comes in the middle of an album cycle that has already produced chart placements and a midyear accolade from the same publication now hosting him on camera. The 'De Chamquitx (Remix)' video, the one he says almost cost him his life, is the one he calls his favourite.
