Karol G won album of the year for her blockbuster “Mañana Será Bonito,” Bad Bunny took home the honor for artist of the year and Peso Pluma was crowned debut artist of the year at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in Florida on Thursday night.
Along with album of the year, Karol received the Spirit of Hope award for her philanthropic work, namely her Con Cora foundation which aims to support and enable women through scholarships (granting an education for imprisoned women and young mothers) along with arts and educational initiatives. The award was presented to her by Paris Hilton early into the evening.
“This will probably be one of the most special awards I receive in my career,” Karol told the crowd in Spanish. “Formed by women, we work for women. Con Cora focuses on women in vulnerable states, women who are affected by violence and women in search of opportunities.”
Bad Bunny delivered a hits-filled performance and won the biggest prize of the evening, artist of the year. He has been a recurring nominee in the category since 2018 and has won every year since 2020.
Elsewhere, Peso Pluma scored eight of the 21 awards he was nominated for, making him the top winner of the evening. His and Eslabon Armado’s “Ella Baila Sola” was named Hot Latin song of the year and streaming song of the year. He performed once alongside Nicki Nicole for their collaboration “Por las noches,” and again withYng Lvcasfor their hit “La Bebe.”
The awards show also brought out pioneers of their genres like Ivy Queen, who was honored with the Billboard Icon Award, while cumbia artist Los Ángeles Azules received the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award.
