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.
“I didn’t know she was going to give me the award,” Peso said, almost blushing but visibly excited about receiving it from her hands. “I am extremely happy and proud of this remarkable woman,” Peso remarked. “I am delighted that you have given this to me. Thank you to those who support me. Long live corridos!”
Peso Pluma also performed during the awards ceremony. Accompanied by 12 dancers, he sang “Apaga La Luz,” his collaboration with Mexican DJ and producer duo RØZ.
The “Rubicón” singer spoke to Billboard on the red carpet and teased upcoming new music. ” I am working hard, so stay tuned for upcoming announcements,” he noted. “Something special is coming with Tito [Double P]. I am very pleased and excited about the surprises coming next year as I work to release music that everyone is waiting for.”
Hailing from Jalisco, Mexico, and known for hits like “Por Las Noches,” “PRC” and “AMG,” Peso Pluma has notched 25 top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, 33 titles on the Billboard Hot 100, and landed at No. 3 on Billboard‘s Top Latin Artists of 2024.
Most recently, Peso Pluma made history as the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s (CFDA) first Mexican ambassador for New York Fashion Week.
