Karol G shared an emotional story about a past relationship during a surprise appearance at Rosalía’s Lux Tour stop at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, revealing that an ex repeatedly refused to celebrate birthdays with her. The Colombian superstar joined Rosalía for the singer’s signature on-stage “confessional” segment, where celebrity guests reflect on personal experiences before Rosalía performs her song “La Perla,” which explores toxic relationships.
Speaking in Spanish, Karol G told the audience she had been in a relationship with someone who “didn’t like to celebrate their birthday” with her. She explained that each year brought a different excuse, leaving her disappointed time after time. According to the singer, the couple only managed to celebrate one out of four birthdays together.
The most painful moment came during what was supposed to be their fourth birthday celebration. Karol G revealed that they had planned a trip together, but after she had already reached the airport gate, her partner backed out at the last minute. She said the experience taught her a lot about recognizing repeated patterns and broken promises in a relationship.
After hearing the story, Rosalía comforted her friend by telling her they would celebrate “better than any birthday” because she had gotten rid of that “perla,” a playful reference to the toxic partner described in her song. The heartfelt exchange drew loud applause from the audience before Rosalía launched into her performance of “La Perla.”
Although Karol G did not identify the former partner, fans immediately began speculating online. The singer was most recently linked to Colombian artist Feid, though the pair reportedly split in 2025. Earlier this year, Karol G said she is currently enjoying being single and is focused on her music, upcoming tour, and reconnecting with fans rather than pursuing another relationship.
Karol G’s candid confession quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of Rosalía’s Los Angeles concert, with fans praising both artists for creating a space where vulnerability and healing could take center stage alongside the music.
