Karol G has opened up about one of the most sensitive pressures facing international artists in the United States: the fear that speaking out on immigration could come with professional consequences.
In her new Playboy cover interview, published ahead of her debut as a Coachella headliner and written by Jorge Ramos' daughter Paola Ramos, the Colombian singer said she has repeatedly been warned not to comment publicly on ICE because of concern that it could affect her ability to stay and work in the country. Variety reported that Karol G said "a lot of people" around her urge caution, with one possible consequence framed in stark terms: "Maybe the next day you'll get a call: 'Hey, we are taking your visa away.'"
