Becky G doesn’t see other female artists as competition.
Becky G is her own competition
The 29-year-old singer – who has a particularly close friendship with Karol G – has revealed she hates it when female artists are pitted against each other.
Speaking about her relationship with Karol, Becky told CBS Mornings: “We have a beautiful friendship, one I’m really, really thankful for, and one that I think throughout the years, we’ve really earned with one another.
“I think that’s for many, many reasons … through experiences, shared experiences, individual experiences and, of course, an industry that is so quick to pit people against each other.”
Becky rubbished the idea that Karol is a rival, insisting she doesn’t view other female artists through that lens.
Asked if they’re rivals, Becky said: “Absolutely not. No.
“I mean, for me, personally, my greatest competition is the person I look at in the mirror every morning, you know? And I know she feels the same way for herself.
“Our goal is to be the best versions of ourselves, and it’s been beautiful to kind of grow up in this friendship as well, and see someone literally just not only break down every door, but also hold it open for others to come through.”
Becky feels proud of the career she’s managed to build through years of hard work and persistence.
The singer said: “I think that the coolest part about becoming, you know, the women that we are in the industry today is that we’ve realised we can build our own tables.”
Meanwhile, Anitta previously praised Becky’s ability to celebrate multicultural identities.
The 33-year-old singer – who is a close friend of Becky – praised the pop star for her ability to represent Latinos in the US.
Anitta, 33 – who was born in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil – explained to Teen Vogue: “I love that she represents all the Latinos that live here in America — because you feel like you belong to both places.
“There are so many people in the same position that want to be able to say, ‘I am part of these two worlds,’ and I think that she does it perfectly. I love her.”
