MEXICO CITY — After a long day jammed with interviews, a music video shoot and a surprise appearance at a Mexico City reggaetón night, the Dominican rapper Tokischa decided it was time to visit a strip club.
She bounded into the dark bar just after midnight and immediately made her way to a private room. There, she was captivated by a particular dancer, not just by her look or the way she moved — but by her story.
"I was getting a dance and she was there taking notes," Tokischa's stylist, Caitlyn Martínez, said of the rapper. "The girl was just telling her about her life."
