A.B. Quintanilla III confirms legal dispute involving his sister Suzette and father’s legacy

A.B. Quintanilla III has broken his silence over a legal dispute involving his sister Suzette Arriaga and matters tied to the memory of their father, Abraham Quintanilla.

In an official statement shared through his own channels, the former Kumbia Kings member said the case did not arise from a recent incident. He described it as the result of “years of accumulated situations, decisions and circumstances” that he had kept private out of respect, loyalty and family ties.

“

There are things I have discovered and experienced during this process that have left me deeply shocked. I never thought that situations within my own family could lead me to make a decision of this magnitude.

Quintanilla said developments in the case had deeply surprised him. “There are things I have discovered and experienced during this process that have left me deeply shocked. I never thought that situations within my own family could lead me to make a decision of this magnitude,” he said.

“

There are years of history. There are facts. There is evidence. There are circumstances. And there is much that is still unknown...

Although he confirmed that a legal complaint exists, the producer said he would not give media interviews or discuss specific details while the proceedings continue. He nevertheless indicated that he has substantial supporting material, saying, “There are years of history. There are facts. There is evidence. There are circumstances. And there is much that is still unknown...”

The Tex-Mex songwriter said he would present his full version, with the relevant backing, before the courts when the time is right. He also stressed his financial and professional independence from the other people involved: “And while everything continues its course, I will keep doing what I have done for almost 40 years, working and generating my own income. I was never the kind of person who waited for the paycheck from someone else’s effort to arrive at my door.” Suzette and the family’s lawyers have not formally commented.
