After being honored as Woman of the Year at the annual Billboard Women in Music event, a few days ago we finally got to know that Karol G will also be honored as Woman of the Year 2024 at the next edition of the Billboard Latin Women in Music Awards, for her “extraordinary achievements and unparalleled impact on the music industry”. The highly anticipated celebration will take place on Sunday, June 9.

Female Latin music stars Kali Uchis and Camila Cabello will also be honored in this next edition of the awards.

Uchis, who rose to global fame after releasing her viral hit ‘Telepatía’, will receive the Rising Star award after positioning herself as one of the most promising female talents on the current scene, which is not limited to a single language. On the other hand, Camila, who is waiting to release her highly anticipated next album, C,XOXO (and who has already revealed some singles that assure that this studio album will be a smash hit), will receive the Global Impact Award thanks to her humanitarian efforts along with Equality Florida, Healing Justice and Lambda Legal.
