Antonia Morales

Antonia Janneke Rie Morales (b. 29th August, 1964) is a semi-retired Spanish-Dutch singer, songwriter, rapper and actress who resides in Kuboia. Before entering music, she was an activist for Kuboian independence, and play a key role in the Kuboian Independence Movement in the mid-1980s. After Kuboia became an independent country in 1987, she began to focus more on a musical career whilst continuing to do fundraising and other events on irregular occasions.

Biography
Born to a Spanish father and a Dutch mother on 29th August, 1964, Morales spent the first ten years of her life living in Palma de Mallorca. In 1975, her family moved to the Dominion of Kuboia after her parents were offered "promising" jobs.

Morales never attended education pass the age of ten because the area she lived in had no school. Instead, her father organised a tutor to teach her basic communication and numeracy work twice a week. Through her tutor, Morales learnt about Kuboia potentially becoming an independent country from Jetania. She and her family became large supporters for the Kuboian Independence Movement, which led to her giving a speech in September 1984 that was broadcast on KBG. The following years, she and her family took part in charity events that raised money to be spent on its economy.

In 1988, Morales was amongst one of the first few people included in the Kunning Hall of Fame.

Family
Morales has an older half-brother and half-sister from her mother's side of the family. She also has an older sister who she shares both parents with. Her mother died in 1990 at the age of 47 after suffering from pneumonia. Her father contacted coronavirus in August 2020, and died four months later at the age of 80. When talking about her father's death two years later, Morales expressed frustration over not being able to spend much of his last few years alive with him.

Through her older sister, Morales is the auntie to Mina van Trease (b. 1979) and Meiling Chen (b. 1981).

Marriage and children
Morales had an on-and-off relationship with Tuyp van Vilet that lasted from 1988 to 2002, with the two marrying in 1990. In 1992, Morales gave birth to their son, Vex Morales-Vilet. According to Vex, Morales would spoil him very badly and was still breastfeeding him until he was six years old.

After Morales and Vilet separated in late 2002, Vilet mentioned that he and Morales had a "pretty rocky" relationship, and claimed that Morales was controlling and verbally abusive to him, and gaslit him when he tried to leave her on multiple occasions. The two continued to argue in regards to Vex's custody before Vilet said he wanted "nothing to do with her" in 2005. According to her friends, Morales felt resentful when Vilet started dating another woman, with one of her sisters mentioning in 2011 that she refused to move on and find another partner.

Morales also has two granddaughters, Angelina (b. 2015) and Monique (b. 2018), who Vex is the father to. In 2021, shortly after her release from prison, Morales mentioned that she is on friendly terms with Vilet again.

Controversy and legal issues
In later years of her life, Morales has become involved in some controversy and legal issues. On two occasions in the 1990s, Morales was charged for drunk and disorderly behaviour. She expressed some controversial opinions throughout the 2000s, such as referring to feminists as "wimps", accusing vegetarians and vegans as being "status seekers" and making distasteful remarks about Central and Eastern European immigrants.

Imprisonment
In February 2011, Morales was taken into police custody for drug dealing, with police noting that she had been trading MDMA and LSD. At her hearing in October later that year, Morales admitted that she had been taking and trading drugs for over twenty years and that she tried to give it up after the birth of her son. However, a drug dealer she knew blackmailed her into continuing to buy drugs off him. She also admitted that she continued to trade drugs due to her music career "dying down" and needing another source of income.

After her hearing, Morales was sentenced to twenty years police custody, with two other unidentified people also receiving similar sentences. The father of her son said he was "disappointed" in Morales but said that he trusts that she will "do the right thing in the end". In October 2021, Morales was released on probation after completing half of her sentence.
