Summary
- Karol G successfully pranked her best friend, Daiky Gamboa.
- She told him she was postponing her tour for 'Love Island'.
- Gamboa was shocked, believing she was too famous for the show.
Colombian artist Karol G recently showcased her penchant for pranks during Elle's "Phoning It In" series. She targeted her manager, Raymond Acosta, and friends, including fellow artist Becky G and her best friend, Daiky Gamboa.
During a call with Gamboa, Karol G fabricated a story about postponing her "Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour" to appear on the reality dating show "Love Island." She claimed the opportunity was presented as a career-elevating move.
Gamboa expressed utter shock and disbelief, arguing that a celebrity of Karol G's stature would never participate in such a show. He considered it a significant departure from her current career level. Karol G feigned distress before revealing the prank, causing Gamboa to exclaim he had been fooled.
Karol G is preparing for her world tour, scheduled to begin July 24 in Chicago. The tour features opening acts like Elena Rose, Greeicy, and Becky G on select U.S. dates. Her latest album, "$Tropicoqueta$", reached No. 1 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, with 20 of its songs simultaneously charting on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs.
