Becky G Sets Record Straight After She's Accused Of Shading Selena Gomez

Becky G singing Selena Gomez's verse in “Taki Taki” caused a frenzy on social media. 

Earlier this week, Seventeen tested Becky G’s knowledge of Latin music with a fun lyric challenge. During the nearly eight-minute clip, Becky sang some ShakiraBad Bunny, and Daddy Yankee, to name a few. It was her take on “Taki Taki” featuring Selena Gomez, however, that caused a frenzy on social media. 

“Oh, I know this one. I'll never forget this one because when I heard it, I was a little confused because it says, 'Come in the party, have a fiesta, blow out the candles and have a siesta,'" Becky said of Gomez’s verse. "But I don't want to have a siesta in the middle of the fiesta. Like, I want to party. I wouldn't take a nap, you know what I'm saying? But of course, I know this one."

Assuming that she was throwing shade at her fellow Mexican-American singer, one Twitter user said, “Becky G dragging Selena's verse as if her discography is not one of the worst of a Latin woman lmao.”

Becky immediately responded to the individual, defending the comments she made on the video. “I have always loved & supported a true queen like Sel. To cut a snippet of a video & take it completely out of context is what is so wrong about this ‘Stan’ culture. Sad to see yet another ‘fan’ going against what their favorite artist believes in by putting other females down,” she noted, assuring that the trolls have their facts all wrong. 

“The industry breaks us apart & pits us against each other enough, sad that ‘stans’ have to do it too. Someone will always have something to say I guess. Ok. I’m done now,” she added.
