Key Takeaways From Becky G’s ‘Call Her Daddy’ Interview

Becky G is the latest guest to sit down on Call Her Daddy, and she used her time with host Alex Cooper to get candid about the parts of her story that don’t always make it into headlines.

Over the course of the conversation, the singer opened up about growing up as the financial backbone of her family, navigating a complicated relationship with her father, and the emotional weight of being a provider at a young age. She also addressed her very public relationship, speaking for the first time in depth about infidelity, calling off her engagement, and the decision to reconcile—on her own terms.

The interview arrives at a time when Becky G is entering a new chapter personally and professionally, but what stood out most wasn’t a career update—it was the clarity. There’s a throughline in how she talks about responsibility, boundaries, and healing, especially as a Latina navigating expectations around family, loyalty, and sacrifice.

Here are the biggest takeaways from the conversation:

Started Working at 9

“There was external pressure from the system around me to step up in some kind of way.”

Complicated Relationship With Father

“I had a lot of anger. Anger wasn’t an easy emotion for me to process… I just thought that the more successful I became, the more [money] I made, the less this would be an issue… maybe [my father] would figure it out. You can’t do the work for someone else.”

Understanding Generational Trauma

“I don’t think our parents go through life saying ‘I want to cause our kids harm;’ these are things that just systematically exist.”

Being Cheated On—& Her Decision to Stay

“I don’t make decisions passively… I called off my engagement. I took off my ring. There are things here that took place behind closed doors, privately between me and this person.”

“To stay or to leave is anyone’s choice to make for themselves and I made my choice and I made it from parts of me that really worked on and earned to feel good about that decision.”

Unlearning hustle culture

“We live in such a hustle culture where we’re like proud to be like ‘I’m burnt out! Like ‘omg I haven’t slept’… Don’t be proud of that, mama. Rest. Recover. Prioritize your well-being. These are things that I had to learn.”
