Tensions in the mountain municipality of Badiraguato have been growing for some time now, as a war was declared by former key allies in the city of Culiacan between La Mayiza and Los Chapitos. In May of 2025, Oscar Manuel Gastelum Uribe "El Musico" and Fausto Isidro Meza Flores" Chapito Isidro" reportedly sided with Ismael Zambada Sicarios "Mayito Flaco" on his war against the Los Chapitos Cartel. As El Musico and Chapo Isidro sided with Mayito Flaco, dozens of Los Chapitos lieutenants decided to switch over to the criminal organization of El Musico-Sagitario-Chapo Isidro. Los Chapitos reportedly made an alliance with the CJNG Cartel as they lost dozens of former key members. 

GUANO GUZMAN AND LOS CHAPITOS RELANTIONSHIP

After the extradition to the United States of Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, Los Chapitos assumed full power of the Guzman criminal faction within the Sinaloa Cartel. Reputable new media sites reported growing tensions between Ivan Archivaldo, Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, and their uncle, Aureliano Guzman Loera, "Guano," brother of Joaquin Guzman Loera, as Los Chapitos grew in power from 2016 to 2023.

EL MUSICO STUDENT OF MARCOS ARTURO BELTRAN LEYVA 

Oscar Manuel Gastelum Uribe, "El Musico, "23, has operated in the cartel underworld for years with a low profile. El Musico was allegedly born in Tameapa, Badiraguato, Sinaloa. At a young age, he was recruited by none other than Marcos Arturo Beltran Leyva, " Jefe De Jefes," to join his organization. El Musico undoubtedly is the heir to the throne of Marcos Arturo Beltran Leyva; whoever questions this can do some research, as the numerous indictments that El Musico, 23, or Salgado faces in the United States speak for themselves. El Musico is considered the boss of Fausto Isidro Meza Flores.

However, tensions between El Musico and Guano erupted, a source reached out to me and mentioned," both Musico and Guano came to disagreements over some territories." Guano Guzman and his armed wing, Gente de Guano or GDG, as of late August and the middle of September, can be confirmed to have entered the war in Sinaloa and are on the side of his nephews, the Los Chapitos Cartel.
