After Ricky Martin came out as gay at the end of March 2010,[5] Ruiz claimed in a TV interview with Viviana Canosa to have kissed Martin at a party in Mexico when he was 17 and Martin was around 22. Martin was working on the TV show Muñecos de Papel in Mexico at the time.[4][6]

In 2014, Ruiz accused the Australian band Tame Impala of plagiarizing the song 'Océano' due to its similarities to Tame Impala's single 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'.[7] Ruiz responded by saying he would consult his lawyers about possible legal action, although the accusers later claimed it was a joke.[8]

Has sold more than 4 million albums. In his last incursion in music, he interpreted a song for the 2015 presidential candidate Daniel Scioli, (just one heartbeat).

gollark: I think.
gollark: No, it's been 2 years or so.
gollark: They get them on monthly plans, I generally (have my parents) buy phones, then have to replace them every 1.5-2 years when they randomly fail in some way, probably because I horribly mistreat them?
gollark: My brother has a Nokia phone and my other brother has a Samsung one, both of which they somehow kept for way longer than me.
