Becky G isn’t about to let some silly Internet rumour get in the way.

After the singer was filmed playing Seventeen‘s Latino legends lyric challenge, some fans thought Becky G was “dragging” Selena Gomez when the song “Taki Taki” came on.

“Oh I know this one. I’ll never forget this one because when I heard it, I was a little confused because it says, ‘Come in the party, have a fiesta, blow out the candles and have a siesta’ but I don’t want to have a siesta in the middle of the fiesta,” she teased. “Like, I want to party. I wouldn’t take a nap you know what I’m saying? But of course I know this one.”

After numerous comments on Twitter attacking Becky G for her comments, the “Shower” singer responded.

I have always loved & supported a true queen like Sel. To cut a snippet of a video & take it completely out of context is what is so wrong about this ‘Stan’ culture. Sad to see yet another ‘fan’ going against what their [favourite] artist believes in by putting other females down.”

Becky G then continued, asking “who doesn’t love a kind and precious soul like Selena Gomez?”

She then said, “May I add that this video was taken from a game I played where I was confused about my own lyrics even. The industry breaks us apart & pits us against each other enough, sad that ‘stans’ have to do it too.”
