Fuerza Regida frontman Jesus Ortiz Paz in legal battle with Jimmy Humilde

Fuerza Regida frontman Jesus Ortiz Paz posted a statement to his personal Instagram on a Saturday in June, publicly airing the band's legal battle with Rancho Humilde and label chief Jimmy Humilde, who signed Fuerza Regida in 2018. In the post, since deleted, Ortiz Paz wrote that music by the band "keeps disappearing" from streaming platforms, and the group's publicist has said songs including "Triston," "Todos nos Shipean" and "67" have been taken down.

The dispute traces back to September 2025, when Rancho Humilde, the independent Latin label built around música mexicana acts, sued Fuerza Regida for breach of contract over the band's outside collaborations with artists such as Chino Pacas and Drake and its exclusive live deals with Apple Music and Live Nation. Fuerza Regida countersued, alleging the label withheld millions in royalties and tried to sabotage the band, including by not submitting its music for consideration at the 2024 Latin Grammys.

Jimmy Humilde responded in the comments beneath Ortiz Paz's post, writing that he had fought to get the singer his masters and secured him "the biggest check of your life, over $50 million." In a separate post set to Fuerza Regida's own song "El Dinero Los Cambio," Humilde denied taking anything from the band, writing, "I robbed you? Robbed you of what, fool. You didn't even have a dollar for me to rob."

Humilde's attorney, Mike Trauben, told The Times that Rancho Humilde had approved recent deals allowing Fuerza Regida to appear in "Grand Theft Auto" and "Fortnite," and said the pulled songs were removed because the band released them outside the Rancho Humilde and Sony distribution structure both sides had agreed to. Trauben said the two sides signed a new agreement in 2022 that replaced the original 2018 contract entirely, paying Fuerza Regida a flat million dollar bonus and converting the label's ownership of existing masters into a 50/50 split.

The case remains active in federal court, and Fuerza Regida's own attorney did not respond to a request for comment before the story's publication. Neither side has said when a resolution might come, and the public sparring on Instagram, rather than any court filing, remains the clearest public record of where the relationship between the band and Jimmy Humilde currently stands.
