Pedo is one of the most versatile and common slang words in Mexican Spanish. While it literally means "fart," it's used in countless expressions. For example, estar pedo means "to be drunk," and ¿qué pedo? can mean "what's up?" or "what the hell?"
In this song, Peso Pluma uses the title phrase Ni pedo (and the similar No hay pedo) to mean "no big deal," "whatever," or "oh well." It expresses a sense of resignation and dismissal after heartbreak. Learning this phrase is a masterclass in understanding the nuances of informal Mexican slang.
Mexican artist Peso Pluma teams up with Tito Double P for "Ni Pedo", a corrido tumbado about coping with rejection through heavy drinking and stubborn optimism. The title itself comes from a blunt Mexican slang phrase: "no hay pedo" or "ni pedo" roughly translates to "no problem" or "it is what it is." Throughout the track, the singer is nursing a bruised ego, admitting right out of the gate, "Por quererte, ando pedo y bien agĂŒitado" ("Because of loving you, I'm drunk and really bummed out"). He looks back at memories of being tangled up in bed together ("Todos locos, desnudos, bien abrazados" / "All crazy, naked, tightly hugging") while facing the harsh reality that she won't even look at him now.
The humor in this heartbreak track comes from its dramatic Mexican slang and over-the-top honesty. The singer confesses he is totally hooked ("me traes enculado" / "you've got me infatuated/obsessed"), while his anger and confusion boil over into line after line of self-pity. Things get so gloomy around the house that he notices "Hasta el pinche perro se mira agĂŒitado" ("Even the damn dog looks bummed out"). Still, instead of staying down after another romantic failure, he shrugs it off with "Cupido, otra vez, me traicionĂł / No hay pedo, al rato, se me pasa" ("Cupid betrayed me again / No big deal, it'll pass in a bit"), before calling for Tito to pass the bottle and take a shot.
Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija was born in Zapopan, Jalisco in 1999, grew up in Guadalajara, and taught himself guitar at fifteen off YouTube tutorials. As Peso Pluma he sings corridos tumbados: Sinaloan sierreño guitars underneath, the cadence and swagger of hip hop on top. His voice is a thin nasal rasp nobody would call pretty, and in 2023 it made him the fifth most-streamed artist on Spotify worldwide.
He arrived through features, "El BelicĂłn" with RaĂșl Vega and then "AMG" and "PRC" with Natanael Cano, before "Ella Baila Sola" with EslabĂłn Armado reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023, the first regional Mexican song ever inside that top 10. GĂ©nesis won Best MĂșsica Mexicana Album at the 2024 Grammys, and the 24-track double album Ăxodo followed with Cardi B, Quavo and Rich the Kid along for the urbano half. He runs his own label, Double P Records, and closed 2025 with DinastĂa, a joint album with his cousin Tito Double P that went straight to No. 1 on Top Latin Albums and filled 30 US arenas in 2026, Madison Square Garden included.
