The controversy centers around lyrics that critics say inappropriately reference minors: "A mamacita since she was 14 / When she walks into the club, you can feel her energy."

In her Instagram response, Karol G expressed:

  • Deep regret over the situation, saying she feels "very affected"
  • That the lyrics were "taken out of context"
  • Full responsibility for the negative reaction
  • Acknowledgment that she has "so much to learn"
  • Gratitude for fan support and fellow artists' contributions

Fellow artists Feid and J Balvin have publicly supported Karol G, with Balvin stating, "You have given us so much glory, so this doesn't reduce your greatness."

The artist emphasized her ongoing commitment to positively impact people's lives and acknowledged the importance of public feedback in artistic growth.
