Leila Cobo:
So welcome to Billboard and White Claw here in beautiful Miami Beach. It’s a little bit windy. I hope I have my clip in case my hair goes all over the place. But we’re so lucky to have one of the greats of Latin music here. One of the greats of Reggaeton, urban music, trap, funk. This guy does it all. He has 15 songs on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, he currently has a song on the Billboard Hot 100. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give it up for De la Ghetto!

De la Ghetto:
Good evening, everybody. How’s everybody feeling? We’re here. White Claw and Billboard in the building. Leila, you’re looking great.

So do you, honey. I’ve been running into you all over Miami, like, three times in the last few months. 

Easy, Easy. Last time was on the panel.

On the panel, then at the Grammys.

I didn’t want to say.

No, no. 

I don’t want Billboard to get mad.

In that other award right? 

There were a couple of music awards. 

That other award that wasn’t Billboard. 

I don’t want to say.

No, let’s not. You were very fashionable all those times and tonight, too. Tell us what you’re wearing because these are white leather pants.

These are white leather pants, purple Nikes. I’m a Nike fanatic with the dunks and Air Forces. 

Keep watching for more!
