The controversy centers on lyrics that critics say inappropriately reference minors, specifically the line "A mamacita since she was 14 / When she walks into the club, you can feel her energy," performed by Feid, Maluma, and Castro.

In her Instagram response, Karol G expressed feeling "very affected" by the situation and acknowledged she has "so much to learn." She explained that the lyrics were "taken out of context" and that her intention was to celebrate artist unity and highlight Colombian talent.

"I take responsibility, and I realize that I have so much to learn," Karol stated, adding that she feels "very affected and I'm sorry from the heart."

Fellow artists Feid and J Balvin have publicly supported Karol G, with J Balvin stating, "You have given us so much glory, so this doesn't reduce your greatness. That song is ours, so we're going to support you unconditionally."
