Karol G Speaks out on Feid Breakup After a Year That "Kicked" Her Down

After a year that felt like she was fighting to survive, 2026 marks a new chapter for Colombian superstar Karol G. In the interest of embracing this new chapter to the fullest, Karol G has not shied away from telling the world all about it.

In a recent interview with Playboy, Karol G speaks out on her breakup with Feid in a way that feels both raw and real. Rather than focusing on what went wrong, she’s choosing to focus on what she’s learned and how she’s moving forward.

What did she have to say in this interview, and how is she moving forward? Keep reading for the scoop.

While speaking in her Spring 2026 Playboy cover story, Karol G opened up about how intense the past year has been. “Last year … Life threw me to the floor, kicked me, pushed me, stood on me, spun me around.”

Despite that, she made it clear she’s trying to shift her perspective. After the relationship ended, she admitted her first reaction was frustration, but that feeling didn’t last long.

Instead, she began to see the situation differently. She described it as a moment of growth, saying it was “beautiful” that she had the courage to walk away when something no longer felt right.

"I actually feel that it's beautiful that I'm living my process, that I'm evolving, that I'm learning, that I'm not tired of experimenting, that l'm curious," she explained.

Karol G also spoke about what being single means to her right now. “I’m letting go of everything,” she said. She added that she believes her most important personal growth happens when she’s on her own.

She also reflected on the expectations she grew up with, especially around relationships and starting a family. For her, this moment is about doing things at her own pace instead of following a timeline.

"As a good Latina from a traditional family, they teach you to give yourself fully to relationships, to a point where you can even lose yourself," she explained.

Rather than feeling behind, she explained that she feels curious and open to learning. It’s a mindset shift that seems to be shaping how she approaches both her personal life and her career.

Before their breakup, Karol G and Feid had built a connection that fans followed closely. According to Complex, the two artists first crossed paths in Medellín. The two later worked together during her 2021 “Bichota” tour, where he opened for her.

Over time, their chemistry became more visible through collaborations like "Friki" and shared moments on stage. Although they kept things relatively private at first, they eventually confirmed their relationship publicly in 2024.

Their connection continued to grow with public appearances, performances, and collaborations that made them one of the most talked-about couples in Latin music. Reports later confirmed that the two ended their relationship amicably ahead of 2026.

Alongside her personal growth, Karol G is stepping into a major moment professionally. She’s set to make history as the first Latina to headline Coachella, something she sees as a reflection of how far she’s come.

Her Playboy cover also marks a shift in how she presents herself. Inspired in part by advice from Sofía Vergara, she embraced the opportunity to show a different side of who she is.

For Karol G, this new chapter in life isn’t just about moving on from a relationship. It’s about redefining herself on her own terms and continuing to grow, both as an artist and as a person.
