Vanessa Hernández, known by her stage name Noseza, sang a Spanish interpretation of the National Hymn of the United States At Dodger Stadium on Saturday evening, and she said that the team would have liked not to have done so.
Now the singer says that she has since received death threats for her performance.
Noseza, wearing a Dominican Republic shirt during his performances, published a video on Tiktok of an employee of the team saying to him: “We are going to do the song in English today.”
Noseza still decided to sing the Spanish version, saying in a later Tiktok video that it was in response to the American presence of immigration and customs application (ICE) in Los Angeles which led to demonstrations and disorders in the city.

She said that the backlash she had received was harmful.
“It’s just the internet. It will come with something like that. Everything that involves politics will include a death threat here and there,” Noseza told TMZ Sports.
“The main thing I saw is that it is disrespectful. I do not think it is disrespectful, because the lyrics are always the same exact words as the English version. If the two songs were transformed into clip, it would be the exact clip.
“I am an American proud. I was born here, raised here, my dreams have come true here at La, I think that being an American proud and always wanting better for your country can always be the same truth, and I think that people forget that.”

Noseza said that she had also received the support of celebrities from the Latin community, which “prevails” in hatred.
“It was really nice to see people you idolize to be on the right side of the story …”, she said. “I already knew in my heart, what I did was fair, but that confirms Triple.”
In the aforementioned Tiktok, Noseza said that she “just felt like I had to” sing the Spanish version – but now she “does not feel welcome” at the Dodger Stadium.
