Codiciado Gets Starstruck Seeing Marc Anthony | Billboard

Codiciado fishes for answers and shares why he got starstruck seeing Marc Anthony, his first hit “Gente de Accionar” and more!

Codiciado:
Hi, I’m Codiciado, and I’m Fishing for Questions.

“What is the craziest show you have ever had?” I think that until now, the one I did in Peacock in November 2023 because we had an acrylic floor with lights, we started throwing champagne and I fell, like, four times. And it went viral.

“What was the first time in your career that you thought ‘I made it’?” When I had my first hit song, “Gente de Accionar.” I remember that I recorded it around 2016. And after one week, it was one of the first songs that had one million views on YouTube, back then. So everybody in Tijuana went crazy. It was cool. That was the first time.

“Name a time when you were excited to see an artist?” In Las Vegas, the last time, I remember we were walking down a hall at an award show, and Marc Anthony walked past me. I remember that I sighed, I didn’t get to greet him, but I saw him. I saw him. 

Guest:
Why didn’t you greet him? 

Codiciado:
He was just passing by. I was with Carin and then I moved, he came and greeted Carin. But I was here and they were there. So, I gave them their privacy. But one day I will meet him.

“What is your favorite vacation destination?” Cancun and Sinaloa, but Cancun.
