The Dominican singer Natti Natasha is going through a difficult situation since her fiancé, music producer Rafael Pina, better known as Raphy Pina, is in prison serving a sentence after being found guilty of illegal possession of weapons.
She recently opened her heart and showed her most vulnerable side at the 2023 Latin American Music Awards, where she premiered the song ‘La Falta Que Me Haces’ by singing it on stage barefoot and visibly moved.
In an interview with ‘People En Español’ magazine, Natti gave details of what her life has been like since Raphy was behind bars and how it felt to sing the painful song live.
“I said, ‘I don’t know if I’m going to cry in the middle of the song, but I’m going to do this.’ A moment that for many was a vulnerable moment for Natti, for me it was a moment of empowerment ”, He confessed to the magazine about the moment he performed the song at the Latin AMA’s.
The interpreter of ‘Dutty Love’ assured that she has given herself strength and is proud of how she has managed to carry out her 2-year-old daughter Vida Isabelle and her musical career with her absent partner.
“I am proud of the strength that I have given myself, I am proud that I have brought a smile when perhaps at one point I said: ‘My God, how am I going to do this?’”he commented.
Natti stressed that the situation has made her grow and learn from herself, since she has to encourage herself in her personal and professional life.
“It was a challenge, but it has made me grow, learn from myself. She had never done it alone, but now she touches me alone, I have to give myself encouragement. Before a show, he and I would go, and he was the one who accompanied me and told me: ‘You can do this’ [Tú puedes hacerlo]. Maybe now I have to imagine it: “He, right now, would tell me this, and I know we both want this result, so let me do it,” he explained.
She also explained that she frequently lives with the older children of the music producer, who have also been of great support to her.
“We always communicate, we always share. They have been very supportive. We are a united family. They love their father and have a lot of faith. Their father prepared them very well for many processes and for such young boys, they have been very positive.”, said Natti Natasha.
Vida Isabelle is her strength
According to what he told ‘People En Español’, the little product of his relationship with Pina is his greatest motivation and joy every day.
“She wakes me up, she is my watch, my alarm, she gives me kisses, hugs me to wake me up or pulls my hair. We go downstairs, have breakfast. Then I bathe her, I take her to the patio so that she catches the breeze, she feels nature, connects, we play outside. I like having her close to her, I love sleeping with her, waking up with her ”told about his routine with the little girl.
With the girl, her parents and a cousin help her so that she can fulfill her work commitments. As she revealed, her parents moved from the Dominican Republic to the United States in December to support her.
How he communicates with Raphy Pina
Natti Natasha revealed that she communicates with Raphy Pina as much as possible because he is in prison, but they have adapted to emails and eventual calls.
“Within the limited, communication is free, we have become accustomed to the routine of emails. I visualize it more like the cards from the old days to make it more romantic, and it’s a side we haven’t experienced in each other.”he expressed.
