Karol G had already won Best Reggaeton Performance for "Verano Rosa" (featuring Feid) before the telecast. When she accepted Best Urban Music Album, she spoke about what the record cost her.

"I'm going to very honest because God willing I've been up here a couple of times but this one is special," the Colombian superstar said. "People always hear the end result but making Tropicoqueta meant a lot to me that people can't even imagine."

She continued: "The most important part is to have an album that I can tour because I feel when I'm singing it, people feel proud to be Latina and to carry their flags with pride. That's the most beautiful part." She closed with a shout: "Latina forever!"
