Karol G Says Advisers Warned Her ICE Criticism Could Jeopardize U.S. Visa

The Playboy interview explains why a visa‑dependent star may weigh public speech against real immigration risks.

Overview

  • Karol G, in a Playboy cover interview published Tuesday, said advisers warned that condemning ICE — the U.S. immigration enforcement agency — could prompt a call revoking her visa.
  • She said she is holding her fire for a moment when her words can drive tangible change rather than offering a brief slogan.
  • The Colombian singer will close both Sundays at Coachella on April 12 and 19, becoming the festival’s first Latina headliner.
  • She quipped that her team would “kill” her if she said “ICE out” yet added she is willing to say it while acknowledging the personal and career risks.
  • The comments land during a surge of artist activism, including Bad Bunny’s “ICE out” at the 2026 Grammys, while non‑U.S. performers face visa exposure that can disrupt tours and work in the United States.
