that Colombian singer
Feid is responsible for the removal of the video of "Mejor Que Yo" by suing him through another person. He also blamed him for ruining the plan the song has had.
Colombian art designer Camilo Rojas said that he wasn't forced to sue Anuel AA and did it by himself. The reason is the fact that his artwork, a cross with the scripture "Yo Amo Miami" at Don's Five Star Dive Bar in Miami, is filmed in the video of the song without his permission.
Anuel AA also said that he won the lawsuit and the music video of "Mejor Que Yo" is legally available in his Youtube channel again.

The music video was produced by TruViews. It was filmed at Don's Five Star Dive Bar in Miami and shows the artists dancing. At the end of the video J Balvin appeared alongside Anuel AA confirming their upcoming collaboration "No Te Olvido", which is supposed to be in J Balvin's upcoming album "Sonríe, Estás en Cámara".
In August, 2023, the music video was deleted by YouTube but was returned in April, 2024.
