Karol G Team Did Not Warn Against ICE Comments at Coachella, Sources Say
Sources close to Karol G say reports that her team warned her to avoid talking about ICE at Coachella are false. The Colombian singer is set to headline the music festival this week.
Sources close to Karol G told TMZ that her team never warned her to avoid mentioning ICE during her Coachella performance, despite recent reports claiming otherwise.
The confusion started after a Playboy interview where Karol G said people often tell artists like her to avoid certain phrases. She mentioned being told that speaking out could risk her US visa. "People will say, 'It's better you don't... Because if you say the thing, maybe the next day you'll get a call: 'Hey, we are taking your visa away'," she said in the interview.
But those comments were about general pressures artists face, not specific warnings from her own team. In fact, Karol G has said no "guardrail" could stop her from speaking out during her Coachella set.
The Colombian reggaeton star is one of this year's headliners at the California desert festival. She has said she wants to "represent my community" and might go harder than just saying "ICE out."
This clears up confusion about whether major artists face pressure to avoid political topics. It also shows how quickly false stories can spread about celebrities and immigration issues.
Karol G will perform at Coachella this week, where fans will see if she addresses immigration issues onstage.
