LOS ANGELES — Becky G remembers several things about February's Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium: the swarm of football fans that descended upon her hometown of Inglewood; the halftime show headlined by Dr. Dre; and how badly her friends were jonesing to celebrate the Los Angeles Rams' victory at an upscale club in Hollywood.
"I'm very passionate about having grown up in L.A.," says Becky, pausing to flash an elaborate "Los Angeles" tattoo on her forearm — "but metaphorically speaking, Hollywood is like the upside-down. Nobody dances, it's all about who's at whose table. I'd rather throw a carne asada at my house!"
Outside the club, a bouncer actually turned her away for a lack of Hollywood credentials, but the Latinos working the valet stand were star-struck, as were the cooks and dishwashers, who came scrambling out of the kitchen to meet her. "That's what being Latin-famous is," Becky says.
