Canelo Alvarez vs. Grupo Firme
In November 2022, Canelo allegedly kicked out the musicians of Grupo Firme at his daughter Emily Cinnamon's birthday party. Later, the boxer blamed the press for the scandal of having Grupo Firme removed from his daughter's birthday party and said,

A warning to Messi on social media
In December 2022, Canelo took to social media to accuse Lionel Messi of disrespecting the Mexican flag following Mexico's loss to Argentina in the 2022 World Cup. While referring to a video that showed Messi’s foot appearing to make contact with a Mexico shirt that was on the floor, Álvarez tweeted,

“Did you see Messi cleaning the floor with our shirt and flag????”

In another tweet, with a series of angry emojis, Álvarez added,

“He better pray to God that I don’t find him!!”

Later, Álvarez apologized on social media and said,

“These last few days I got carried away with the passion and the love I feel for my country and I made comments that were out of order so I want to apologize to Messi and the people of Argentina. Every day we learn something new and this time it was me who did.”
