Behind Friendship: The Emotional Story of Young Miko and Karol G
Young Miko’s meteoric rise as a reference for the new generation of urban music has not gone unnoticed. The Puerto Rican has not only captivated with her music, but has also inspired those who seek to follow their artistic dreams and those who wish to strengthen her self-esteem and confidence.
Her message of empowerment and ignoring criticism resonates powerfully, something she shares with the renowned Karol G. The chemistry between both artists is undeniable, both in the recording studio and on stage and in front of the cameras. Collaborations like “Dispo” and “Contigo” have cemented their connection, while moments full of complicity at concerts have forged a genuine friendship.
Few knew the beginnings of this relationship, until Young Miko revealed details in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Karol G was the one who made the first move, sending her a message that Miko initially ignored, thinking it was a mix-up by signing it as “Carolina,” not “Karol” or “KG.”
Miko’s curiosity led her to make a video call to confirm the identity of the Bug. “It was dark in her room, but you could hear from her voice that it was her,” Miko remembers. Thus began a friendship that has been strengthened through music. “Seeing these people and saying ‘They’re superstars, they’re brilliant,’ and suddenly, they’re my friends and we’re creating together… this feels like another life,” the Puerto Rican adds.
In addition to their joint performances, they have collaborated on “Dispo”, a song included in “Mañana Se Bonito (Bichota Season)”, and Miko starred in the emotional video clip for “Contigo” with Karol G, a new version of “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis immerses us in a love story reinterpreted with the unmistakable stamp of both artists.
