Regional Mexican star Régulo Caro recently had everyone doing a double-take. Photos of him delivering packages door-to-door for Amazon Flex quickly went viral online. Soon, folks were talking and wondering if he had decided to quit music for good.
The chatter got so loud that Caro, 43, jumped on Instagram and TikTok to clear the air. He admitted he didn’t really want to explain himself. But he also joked that it was his own fault for posting videos while on the job.
Caro confirmed, “Yes, I’m working for Amazon.” He explained he applied months ago, wanting a “Plan B” for his future. “Life isn’t just about music,” he said. “I need to think about what comes after my music career.” Amazon offered him a chance to learn about logistics, from cars to services and package delivery.
He wants to learn the business from the ground up. His big goal is to eventually hire people to work for him. Caro made it clear his Amazon job is just “something extra.” He assured fans he’s still fully committed to his music.

Régulo Caro Addresses the Haters and Confirms No Retirement
The Latin Grammy nominee from 2012, recognized for “Best Norteño Album,” saw mixed reactions online. Many applauded his bravery and his down-to-earth decision to take on a second job. Others weren’t as understanding, but positive comments greatly outweighed the negative ones.
One fan cheered, “All work is honorable, and family comes first. Keep going!” Another fan playfully asked how to request him as her delivery driver. Someone else joked if he’d already been chased by a dog on his route.
He was very direct about the retirement rumors. Caro stated, “That’s what I wanted to make clear.” He continued, “People get scared and think, ‘He’s retired, it’s all over.'” He imagined them asking, “‘How did he go from famous singer to delivery driver?'” He boldly declared, “I don’t care what people think. I’m not ashamed of any of it.” But he added that he needed to clarify because “it does affect my music work.”
To wrap up his message, the father of three repeated that this is just additional work for extra cash. He said, “I’m still making music, and this is extra.” He clarified, “Yes, I’m doing it, not just for fun, obviously, but out of necessity, for extra money.” He finished with a classic line: “Work is work; you have to put in the effort.”
