Colombian singer Karol G has issued a formal apology following significant backlash to lyrics in her new single "+57," which features collaborations with Feid, Maluma, J Balvin, Ryan Castro, and Blessd.

The controversy centers around lyrics in a verse performed by Feid, Maluma, and Castro that were criticized for potentially sexualizing minors. The specific line in question references "a mamacita since she was 14."

In her Instagram response, Karol G expressed:

• Deep regret over the situation
• Full responsibility for the controversy
• Clarification that the lyrics were "taken out of context"
• Acknowledgment that she has "so much to learn"

The artist emphasized that her intention was to celebrate artist unity and highlight her people, not to cause harm. Fellow artists J Balvin and Feid have publicly supported Karol G, with Balvin stating, "You have given us so much glory, so this doesn't reduce your greatness."

The single "+57" was released on November 7, with the apology following on November 11 after mounting criticism from fans and media outlets.
