The band is the only Mexican group to win 7 Grammy Awards and 13 Latin Grammys.
The 7-GRAMMY figure matches the Recording Academy’s artist page, but the Latin GRAMMY count is not 13. The Latin Recording Academy currently lists Los Tigres del Norte with 8 Latin GRAMMY wins.
Full reasoning
This sentence is inaccurate because its Latin GRAMMY count is wrong. The Recording Academy’s official artist page lists 7 GRAMMY wins for Los Tigres del Norte, while the Latin Recording Academy’s official artist page lists 8 Latin GRAMMY wins through the 26th Latin GRAMMY Awards. That directly contradicts the claim that the band has won 13 Latin Grammys.

as it is dedicated to the legendary Mexican drug trafficker Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, "El Jefe de Jefes."
"Muerte Anunciada" is not about Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. Its lyrics explicitly identify Pablo Escobar Gaviria and Medellín, Colombia.
Full reasoning
This claim misidentifies the subject of "Muerte Anunciada." The song’s published lyrics explicitly mention "Pablo Escobar" and "Don Pablo Escobar Gaviria", and place the story in Medellín, Colombia. That contradicts the article’s statement that the song is dedicated to Mexican trafficker Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. The academic source below also quotes the song’s Escobar references.

2016: Ataud
"Ataúd" was released as a single, not as an album. Apple Music’s official listing is "Ataúd - Single" and says it contains 1 song.
Full reasoning
This entry appears in the Albums list, but the official Apple Music release page identifies Ataúd as a single, not an album. The page is titled "Ataúd - Single" and lists 1 song, 3 minutes, which contradicts its placement in the album discography.

their album Herencia de Familia won the award for Best Norteño Album at the first ever Latin Grammys
At the first Latin GRAMMY Awards, Herencia de Familia won Best Norteño Performance, not Best Norteño Album.
Full reasoning
The Recording Academy’s own 2014 GRAMMY article states that "Herencia De Familia" won a Latin GRAMMY for Best Norteño Performance at the 1st Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards in 2000. That contradicts the article’s wording that the award category was Best Norteño Album.
