Host Drew Afualo Gives Becky G Flowers and Shares Her Love for Selena Quintanilla at Billboard Women in Music 2025
The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as the stars gathered at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music event. Among the many talented and successful women in the industry, there was one standout – Becky G. Host Drew Afualo could not contain his admiration for the singer as he presented her with a bouquet of flowers. The audience erupted into cheers and applause as Becky graciously accepted the gesture and joined Drew on stage.
Drew started off by praising Becky’s talent and calling her iconic, hilarious, and stunningly gorgeous. Becky, with her signature charm and infectious smile, humbly thanked him and the audience for the warm welcome. She then went on to share how honored she was to be a part of the event and how it was a dream come true for her.
But this was not the only reason why Becky was feeling emotional that night. As she held the flowers in her hands, she couldn’t help but think about the woman who had inspired her – Selena Quintanilla. Becky revealed to Drew and the audience that Selena had been a huge influence on her music and her life.
“I remember listening to Selena’s music as a little girl and being in awe of her talent, her stage presence, and her connection with her fans,” Becky shared. “She was not just a singer, but a role model for young Latinas like myself. She showed us that we can be proud of our culture and still achieve our dreams in the music industry.”
Becky’s love for Selena was evident in her music as well. She has often paid tribute to the late singer by covering her songs and even incorporating some of Selena’s iconic dance moves into her performances. And now, as she stood on the stage at Billboard Women in Music, Becky honored Selena once again by dedicating her performance to her.
But Selena was not the only inspiration for Becky. She also credited her fans for constantly motivating her and keeping her grounded. “My fans are my everything,” Becky confessed. “Their love and support have been my driving force throughout my career. They inspire me to be the best version of myself, and I am forever grateful for their unwavering support.”
As the conversation with Drew continued, Becky opened up about her journey in the music industry and the challenges she faced as a young Latina artist. She shared how she had to work twice as hard to prove herself and break stereotypes. But she never let it discourage her; instead, she used it as motivation to push herself even further.
“I want to use my platform to break barriers and pave the way for other young Latinas who dream of pursuing a career in music,” Becky stated confidently. “I want to show them that anything is possible if you work hard and stay true to yourself.”
Drew and the audience were in awe of Becky’s determination and passion for her craft. They could see that she was not just a talented singer, but a fierce and fearless woman who was ready to take on the world.
As the evening came to a close, Becky left the stage with a standing ovation from the audience. She had not only captivated them with her powerful performance but also inspired them with her words and her love for Selena and her fans.
In a world where women are constantly pitted against each other, it was refreshing to see two strong and successful individuals coming together to celebrate each other’s achievements. Drew and Becky’s interaction was a reminder that women can support and uplift each other, and together, they can achieve great things.
As we look towards the future, we can only imagine the incredible things Becky G will continue to achieve in her career. With her talent, determination, and unbreakable spirit, she is sure to leave a lasting impact on the music industry and inspire many more young girls to chase their dreams.
