En los pasillos de un tribunal de Medellín, la fama encontró su contrapeso en la justicia: Stiven Mesa Londoño, el artista conocido como Blessd, fue formalmente acusado de ser el cerebro detrás del secuestro extorsivo de dos imitadores en 2022, hombres que simplemente habían encontrado en su arte un homenaje. El caso revela cómo el poder —real o imaginado— puede convertir una disputa de imagen en un acto de violencia, y cómo la impunidad percibida rara vez sobrevive al tiempo. La justicia, aunque tardía, avanza.
