Becky G reflects on advocacy in new music, rise to fame

Becky G, a multi-platinum singer, explores advocacy through her latest album. In a CBS Mornings interview, she discussed the emotional connection she felt while creating the music video for her track "EPA," which depicted her breaking a block of ice in response to immigration raids. The star, born in Inglewood, California, began singing at nine years old.

As the oldest of four children in a Mexican household, Becky G used her talents to become the primary provider for her family. She once felt resentment due to the pressure she faced, but today, she feels grateful that her parents remained supportive. Becky G's music has amassed 28.3 billion streams worldwide, and she currently collaborates with global superstars like Selena Gomez, Bad Bunny, and Karol G. Her new album, "Baraja Bendita," encompasses various aspects of her personality, blending vulnerability, sensuality, and strength.

In her personal life, the 29-year-old has been in a long-term relationship with soccer player Sebastian Lletget, and she encourages people to focus on self-improvement rather than online criticism.
