Lupe Fuentes, is a Colombian Dj and Producer [3] in the House music scene based in Los Angeles, California.
Early life
Her father is from Spain and her mother is originally from Colombia. She grew up in Tenerife, Spain under very poor circumstances. Her single mother had no home or a job, so Fuentes wore clothing from charities at a local church and slept at the houses of her mother's friends.[4] She dropped out of school so she could work and help her mother.[4]
Controversy
In 2009, a man was arrested in Puerto Rico for the possession of child pornography discovered during an airport search. He had a DVD called "Little Lupe the Innocent"[5] in his possession and was arrested because federal agents thought that Lupe was underage. His case went to trial and a pediatrician testifying for the prosecution claimed that Lupe had to be underage because of her appearance. Lawyers for the defense, however, found Lupe's website and contacted her, and sent her a subpoena so she could testify. She showed her passport in court and proved that she was 19 years old when the movie was made, and he was cleared of all charges.[6]
The Ex-Girlfriends
Lupe is the lead singer of the pop group The Ex-Girlfriends, formed in September or October 2012.[7] They released two singles: "We Are The Party" released on November 6, 2012[8] and "Whatchya Looking At?" released on 18 March 2013.[9] The two singles were aggressively promoted through social media, video ads, as well as pop-up ads, which automatically loaded the YouTube videos for each song (and hence contributed to the YouTube view count).[10][11][12]
In 2013, a second official YouTube account, "xgfmusic," was created, apparently as a mirror of the still-active original account ("xgfparty") – it contains duplicates of the main content, and was possibly intended to counterbalance the high ratio of dislikes to likes in the virally promoted music videos.[13]
