Taking the stage, award in hand, he shared his surprise with the audience.

“What? Mami, we did it. Thank you so much. I was over there gossiping and didn’t even know what happened. Thank you. Everyone has to understand that I sing because I love to sing, but I have an incredible team that keeps believing in me. My friends who inspire me, all these artists who encourage me — God bless them,” he said, holding the award. He added, “I’m in shock. I prefer singing to talking, but thank you so much. Long live the Latino community!”

A Night of Latin Music, Love, and Legacy

From across the venue, Nadia applauded proudly. Before cameras captured her reaction, she was already looking toward her “flaco” with visible admiration. Once on screen, she smiled, clapped, and showed exactly how much the recognition meant to her.
