Backlash Grows After Bu and Olmo Cuarón Open Dua Lipa’s Mexico City Finale

Alfonso Cuarón posted a short congratulations on his daughter’s Instagram, a rare public note during intensifying nepotism accusations.

Overview

  • Bu and Olmo Cuarón delivered a brief opening set on December 5 at Estadio GNP Seguros to close Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Tour in Mexico City.
  • Attendees and widely shared clips criticized Bu Cuarón’s live vocals, citing breath control, unclear diction and pitch issues, with some videos capturing booing.
  • Social media users repeatedly labeled her a “nepo baby” and questioned the decision to give a stadium slot to an emerging act when earlier Mexico City dates had no opener.
  • Bu thanked Dua Lipa and her team on Instagram, calling the chance to perform at Estadio GNP one of her biggest dreams.
  • Alfonso Cuarón’s comment—“Felicidades Bu y Olmo”—drew fresh replies while his children have offered no extended response, as coverage places the incident in a wider debate over access and privilege in the arts.
