Juan Pablo Escobar Claims To Be Pablo Escobar's Son / A Rapper

jp_escobar_11.11.jpg

A man claiming to be the only son of late of cocaine king Pablo Escobar is attempting to take off in the rap world. Some singers have talent, some have a storied backstory and some attempt to piggyback on the fame and notoriety of other people. It’s cool. Unless you happen to actually be related to Pablo Escobar and think this dude is a lying sack of caca nuggets:

“I had [my sister-in-law] Maria at my house eight months ago. She never mentioned a son in the America. How would he get a visa to enter the United States? Also, Juan Pablo is 31 and has a full head of hair.” Told that his “nephew” claimed to have appeared “as himself” on Colombian soap operas, Roberto said, “No, no, It’s absurd.”

Haha. For his part, Juan Pablo, who claims to be 33 and to have lived in Argentina with his mother, Maria, is not letting go of what might be his only meal ticket:

The husky, bald-headed man who calls himself Juan Pablo Escobar (aka Pablo Escobar Jr.) told us Monday he set out to become a hip hop star after hearing that Oliver Stone was making a movie about “my father” and that rapper Nas was calling himself “Nas Escobar.”
“I saw how easy it is to legitimize yourself in the industry,” he said.

It is easy, isn’t it? Anyone can do it.

As you fantasize about what I look like, rest assured that it’s nothing like that clown.

Now get back to work and stop fantasizing about me.

@ escobar: you’re just jealous because fakeescobar is soooo hot.

Ok i studied this story and now I understand that pablo’s uncle roberto is very upset that pablo has decided to go public with their family name for show business. Pablo before leaving argentina was gonna go visit his uncle roberto
but instead maria did cause of their dispute,roberto definitely can’t enter the U.S.A but due to pablo’s ongoing contribution to schools in argentina and extensive amount of community work he was awarded, also he bagan his own theatrical volunteer classes for kids who wanted to act. He was a big admirer of the rap group onyx who did random shows in medellin colombia, but due to his continuing exile in argentina and his father’s enemy’s he stayed in argentina. After all he was a kid while his father was dealing, take a look at what Bush Sr did overseas years ago, now his son is President. And they didn’t hold that against his election, so get a grip everyone this was an innocent kid who’s all grown up now who loves rap music and acting, his uncle roberto also said that if ever asked anything by the press about his nephews music career that he’ll disown him and deny that he is the son of his brother pablo escobar, wow!! what a uncle i guess he rather him dealing coke to carry on the family name that way. Shame on roberto just be proud of your nephew, i’m a colombian female living in the u.s.a and this story also came out in colombias news papers 2 years ago but wasn’t blown out of proportion like this so please let him live.I would buy his cd. and why don’t roberto show his ugly face what he’s jealous of Pablo or something !!!!!!!!!!! Go Pablo Go Pablo

Who say’s you need a visa to enter the USA? If I recall correctly, Pablo had his picture taken outside the White House gates, in either:
A) An act of defiance against the US, since at the time of the photo Pablo was already being sought by DEA and Interpol
B) Wanted to show his gratitude and goodwill (Buenos clientes) towards the USA by posing next to one of the ultimate symbols of democracy(esa ni yo me la crei!)
C)Wanted to show his buddies back home in Colombia como los gabos se la re-pelaban.

I’m speaking of dad, not the son. Juan Pablo, if you need a paro to come over I have a tio that’ll cross you through the cerro in a jiffy!

This man is a fraud, I know the real Juan Pablo Escobar and he has a legitimate career and is extraordinarily handsome and a gentlemen. He seeks no notoreity and is troubled by those who attempt to assume his heritage under such unfortunate circumstances believing that this is what his family would wish to be remembered for. BTW, happy birthday Joey. I often ignore such posts but i had time on my hands and just think is laughable.

That is his son. Robero and Juan Pablo don’t get along because of personal conflicts. I live in Colombia and work fork the biggest colombian tv network and have always suppoted The Escobar Family. Juan Pablo aka Pablo Escobar Jr came into the United States with a political family from Costa Rica to legitimize himself and stop living in persecution. His father’s movie is “Killing Pablo”

I had the pleasure to interview Pablo Escobar’s mother before she died “Hermilda Gaviria”. She did mention that alot of what Juan Pablo’s uncle Roberto Escobar is says is not very accurate with what is really going on in the Escobar Family nowadays. Movie Director Antoine Fuqua, who hasn’t made a good film since 2001’s “Training Day” (and that was largely due to Denzel Washington’s performance) will be directing the eloquently and imaginatively titled “Escobar”. Based on “Mi Hermano Pablo”, the story follows the perspective Roberto Escobar Gaviria who served as his infamous brother’s accountant and confidant. Juan Pablo and Roberto have been having conflicts because of this.
