The award recognizes the Puerto Rican superstar, a pioneer of reggaetón, as an artist who has carved out a career that has remained relevant through time.
“It’s a great night for me and for my family in a genre that has taught me many things,” she said while accepting her award. “One of the greatest things is not to sell my essence, to stand firm despite the thousands of stones that got in my way from the beginning.”
She continued: “This is a genre that also taught me to embrace my masculine side, because when I started in this genre I had to battle with males and not with females. I want to think that I can pick each one of these flowers while I am alive, and you don’t know the immense pride I feel knowing that there are more women on the stage because I say that I did my job as it should be.”
