Eladio Carrion has won the affection of an increasingly wide audience. The Puerto Rican not only carries a clear message of self-improvement in his songs, but also encourages the new generations to bring out the best version of themselves and do good. The artist, in addition to promoting it, has practiced it.
And he has once again demonstrated that naturalness and humility characterize him in one of his most recent interviews. It was for Complex, and in it he visited a sneaker store to spending nothing more and nothing less than 47,000 dollars. And no, they are not for him.
Eladio wanted to have a nice gesture with Puerto Rican participants in the Paris Olympicswho have trained hard to achieve good positions. In fact, he himself knows what it is like to give his all to represent his country in a sport, as he was a professional swimmer and carried his island's flag to the Pan American Games. He later qualified for the Rio Olympics in 2016, but retired from the sport after falling in love with music.

This nice gesture from Carrión has not gone unnoticed. Many users have highlighted his kindness in the comments on the video. Even those who were unaware of the artist's existence have wanted to highlight his humility despite being an international music star. “I've never heard of this guy, but he could be my new favorite celebrity, super grounded, humble and incredibly generous,” says one anonymous person. “Eladio is the goat. Always spreading good vibes and positivity, you can't hate this guy,” adds another.
This is not the first time that our protagonist has shown pride in his roots in an interview. A few months ago he made it clear publicly that, although he was born in the United States and soon moved to Puerto Rico, Spanish was the language he wanted to adopt in his daily life. “Since I grew up on military bases, I never lived in one place for more than three years. I was always two years here, two years here. That's learning to adapt and having that mentality of okay, I'm not here, I'm here. I saw it more as a challenge. Speaking Spanish fluently was something I wanted to achieve,” he explained in Nude Project.
And you, did you know about this altruistic side of Eladio?
