Becky G attends Time100 Next at Current at Chelsea Piers in New York City, on Oct. 30, 2025.TheStewartofNY/FilmMagic/Getty Images Musician [Becky G](https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318894/becky-g/)—who has long used her platform to highlight issues impacting the Latino community—spoke at the [2025 TIME 100 Next](https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/) Gala about the difficult but necessary task of speaking out amid the [backdrop of ICE raids](https://time.com/7329034/stephen-miller-ice-immunity-pritzker/) taking place across the country. “It’s absolutely not easy,” the Mexican-American musician told TIME on the red carpet when asked about using her platform to spotlight the issues that are important to her. “But I always think about it this way—the fear that one might feel in maybe saying the wrong thing or losing a few followers is incomparable to what my community is feeling right now.” Becky G is [one of several](https://www.yahoo.com/news/becky-g-ivan-cornejo-man-014639759.html) Latino musicians who have issued statements of support for immigrants as the Trump Administration attempts to follow through on its campaign promise to launch the [largest mass deportation effort](https://time.com/7292939/trump-deportations-ice-arrests/) in U.S. history. Tensions between immigration activists and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been fraught since the start of the Administration’s second term, and drew national attention following the June 2025 raids in Los Angeles, which prompted [days-long protests](https://time.com/7292232/la-protests-trump-best-photos/). “Without fear there’s no courage, and now is the time where we’re really being called upon to be courageous,” Becky G stated. The musician also praised Selena Gomez, who [wrote a tribute](https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318894/becky-g/) when Becky G was named on the TIME100 Next list. Gomez described Becky G as a “rare gift” who is a “voice for our community.” The duo are connected by their similar heritage as the [descendants](https://time.com/5690070/selena-gomez-americas-immigration-crisis/) of Mexican immigrants. Gomez was also named after the “Queen of Tejano Music,” Selena Quintanilla, who Becky G cited as one of her “greatest sources of inspiration.” “Selena has created her career to also just paving the way… and accomplishing incredible things,” said Becky G. “Nobody on my team told me that Selena was going to be writing \[that\] piece so the fact that she took that on and had such beautiful, thoughtful words, meant a lot and there \[were\] definitely tears.” _The TIME100 Next Gala was presented by Rolex, Toyota, General Catalyst, Project Management Institute, Meta, Smirnoff, and The Spark Collective._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-gala-2025/7327397/becky-g-community-selena-gomez-time100-next/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-gala-2025/7327397/becky-g-community-selena-gomez-time100-next/"},"headline":"Becky G on Uplifting Community, Gratitude for Selena Gomez","datePublished":"2025-10-31T02:24:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:24:38.190Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-gala-2025/7327397/becky-g-community-selena-gomez-time100-next/","keywords":["TIME 100 Next","sponsorshipblock"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5fe7cd8471347297/6998cb5666d4e3f963cbd00c/becky-g-time-100-next.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Solcyré Burga","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/solcyre-burga/"}],"creator":"Solcyré Burga","articleSection":"TIME100","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5fe7cd8471347297/6998cb5666d4e3f963cbd00c/becky-g-time-100-next.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/time100/","name":"TIME100"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-100-next/","name":"TIME 100 Next"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-gala-2025/7327397/becky-g-community-selena-gomez-time100-next/","name":"Becky G on Uplifting Community, Gratitude for Selena Gomez"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Becky G on inspiration from Selena Gomez","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/n88VWQhg/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2025-10-31T01:48:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/n88VWQhg.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-gala-2025/7327397/becky-g-community-selena-gomez-time100-next/","duration":"PT41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-gala-2025/7327397/becky-g-community-selena-gomez-time100-next/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
