Karol G addressed the backlash surrounding lyrics from her song '+57' which some say promotes the sexualization of minors: 'A mamacita since 14.'
Karol G is responding to the backlash surrounding her latest single that drew criticism from critics and social justice advocates for its perceived sexualization of minors. The Grammy-winning singer dropped her high-performing collaboration “+57” last week. Named after Colombia’s telephone code, the dance track is loaded with features from Medellín-born artists — including reggaeton sensations J Balvin and Maluma — and debuted at No. 1 on Spotify in Colombia with 1,042,412 streams.
' Upon its release, Rolling Stone En Español columnist Martin Toro counted “+57” among a host of songs — also citing Ryan Castro and Arcángel’s “Pueblo de Medallo” — that “directly or indirectly continue to feed the imaginary that ‘the paisas are hot,’ and that is why foreign men believe that Medellín is an ideal destination for ‘sex tourism.
