On a crisp day at Milan Fashion Week in February, Becky G steps into a graffiti-lined plaza of an old Italian neighborhood, setting the stage for her latest music video “Marathon” featuring elkan. Backed by her girl crew amid flashing cameras and cheering fans, the visual showcases glam and street edge set against choreographed runway struts, paparazzi — and her confident bilingual bars. Dressed in a see-through lace top hanging by a few hooks and matching red leggings, Rebbeca Marie Gomez looks and sounds confident as she preps for a new chapter in her career: one that harkens back to her Los Angeles rap roots, while consolidating her image as an international star.
“These days, people want you to stay in just one place. It’s easy to think in black and white, but I always say life is in color — I love coloring outside of the lines,” Becky G reflects, speaking to the balance between embracing her Chicana roots and her global aspirations. “Being from Inglewood is the coolest thing. But I’m a world traveler too. I take where I’m from wherever I go. That doesn’t limit me. There are no limitations to where my dreams can take me.”
