Karol G Reveals Eminem Was One of Her First Musical Loves Before She Spoke English

Karol G just shared a childhood memory that has fans doing a double take. In a conversation with Salma Hayek for Interview Magazine, she revealed that one of her first musical loves was none other than Eminem. Growing up in Medellín, Colombia, she didn’t speak English at the time, so she connected with his music purely through the energy.“Lose Yourself”stood out to her for its unapologetic vibe, and once she learned English, she went back and appreciated the lyrics on an entirely new level.

That early inspiration clearly planted a seed. Today, Karol G has collaborated with Drake, Nicki Minaj and Pop Smoke, and her song“BbY WOW”is holding steady at number one on the Billboard Global 200 for a sixth week. Meanwhile, 50 Cent recently teased that Eminem has a new album in the works, which makes this story feel like a full-circle moment just waiting to happen.

Two superstars from different genres and different languages, connected by one childhood vibe. The crossover writes itself. What song did you love growing up before you understood what it was saying? Tell us in the comments.
