Armando Manzanero had seven children. One of them was not included by the late Mexican singer-songwriter in his will before he died on December 28, 2020, at the age of 85, which could open a conflict within the family.
Mainca Manzanero, one of the veteran artist’s daughters, was the one who made it known that her brother Rodrigo was not considered to have received part of his father’s inheritance.
“It simply came to our notice then. He has been away from here for a long time, living in Mexico, living in Lima, Peru, then living for a while in Chile “, Mainca explained in the program” Ventaneando “(TV Azteca).
The family’s situation threatens the scandal, which her daughter said with tears that she will regret.
Because it’s easier to accept and say, “Hey, I don’t agree,” but not to do such things, especially when Dad is gone. These are the decisions he made and, well, we are human beings, we are brothers, maybe at some point we can give Rodrigo a percentage, but this is not in my hands either, to decide for everyone “, Mainca said.
+ Peruvian children
Mainca and Rodrigo were procreated during Armando’s romantic relationship with a Peruvian model.
However, the brothers distanced themselves because the author of “Somos novios”, “Adoro” and dozens of songs took their daughter to live in Mexico and was raised by Cristina Blum, the mother of Juan Pablo Manzanero.
Besides Mainca and Juan Pablo, her other children are Armando, Diego, Martha María Elena.
Rodrigo was Manzanero’s “most controversial” son because of his drug problems and the strained relationship he had with his father.
On several occasions, he stated that the singer-songwriter never supported him in the most difficult moments of his life.
To Manzanero’s decision while still alive not to include Rodrigo in his will, the singer’s daughter explained: “My father decided so, we have nothing to do with it, yes, we are all brothers, yes, of course, we have a royalty percentage, but then my father thinks he had the reasons too its reasons for not including it ”.
Given the rumors that Rodrigo will sell an interview exclusively after finding out that he is no longer in the will, Mainca commented: “I tell you with my heart, everyone gets what they want.”
However, Mainca claimed that Rodrigo was not left empty-handed because his father left him a place to live.
“My father left him an apartment to live in, he doesn’t have to pay rent, he just has to support it. Maybe Rodrigo didn’t think that something was wrong and that, instead of getting angry, he should be thankful for what he has … “, he said.
Then he added: “He always solves situations for him, getting rid of problems and maybe he thinks I’m talking like that, about things that had never been made public, but it’s not good … how many things my father did had to settle for it or how many times did my dad have to pay for things so it would be okay?
