Mexican star Peso Pluma accepted the first-ever Billboard Vanguard Award at the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2025. There to present him with the special honor was girlfriend Kenia Os, who spoke about Peso Pluma’s achievements. Minutes later, the corridos hitmaker took the stage to not only accept the honor but to share a passionate kiss with Kenia.

Thank you to those who support me. Long live corridos!”
