Becky G Reveals Her ‘Freak in the Sheets’ Era to ‘Playboy’: ‘God Forbid She Talk About It’

Becky G is done playing coy.

In a new interview with Playboy published Thursday (Aug.

20), the Mexican-American pop star opens up about the sensual, unapologetically adult era behind her fifth studio album, Baraja Bendita .

The project, she says, is not only her sexiest yet — it is the sound of an artist finally refusing to separate her public persona from her private self.

“Why is it that she’s a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets, but God forbid she talk about it, you know?” Becky G told Playboy .

“Now, I’m not just talking about women in general.

This is me as a woman.

This is what I’m experiencing.” Related ‘Something Inside Me Healed’: Becky G Talks Returning to Rap & Mexican Music Roots Becky G on Her ‘Greatest Collaboration Yet’ With Herself — and Working With Karol G & Benny Blanco Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Bushes Make a Cameo in NFL's New 'Celly' Dance Promo: Watch It Now That frankness (and freakiness) marks a bigger shift for the 29-year-old singer, who grew up in the public eye after breaking through with “Shower” at 17.

She describes the album as a release after the emotional excavation of her previous two projects, Esquinas (2023) and Encuentros (2024).

This time, she wanted music that felt less like healing and more like going out: house, Latin rhythms, disruptive production and a return to the rap instincts she says the industry once deemed difficult to package.

The album’s club energy is also a thank you to the LGBTQ+ community, which Becky G calls central to the spirit of dance and soul music.

“I really wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for the LGBTQ+ community,” she added.

“I think nothing would be where it is today without them.

They’re at the core and the spirit of dance music and soul music.
