Host Drew Afualo gives Becky G flowers, and she shares how Selena Quintanilla has helped inspire her music, her love for her fans and more at Billboard Women in Music 2025.
Drew Afualo:
Y’all, we’re here with the talented, iconic, hilarious and stunningly gorgeous Becky G, period. How are you feeling being here at Billboard Women in Music?
Becky G:
We’re not just at Billboard Women in Music. We’re in Inglewood, my hometown, so I’m very happy to be home. It’s very nice. And also, we’re celebrating so many bada– women.
So I love that, and I do want to start off by giving you your flowers. First, hold on. Here you go. That’s for you. So I’d like to ask you: Who do you give flowers to for getting you where you are now?
Ooh, um, my mom. I quite literally would not be here without her.
I love that, that’s beautiful. And who do you give flowers to for inspiring your music?
Selena Quintanilla, easy answer.
What a grand answer. “Si Una Vez” is my favorite song of hers. Yours?
All of them, of course, all of them — “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” “Tú Sólo Tú,” “Si Una Vez”
We love that.
I can go on and on.
Don’t get me started on Selena.
It’s fine.
OK? And last, kind of serious one, what do you give flowers to your fans for?
Oh, you know, I think any artist who’s been doing it for a long time, one thing we can thank our fans for is rocking with us throughout every phase. Yeah, I grew up doing this longer than I’ve ever not been doing it, and they have seen my life is basically chronological on the Internet, like a bubble.
Keep watching for more!
