@IamBeckyG Surprising Role on ‘Empire’

Say what you will about FOX’s Empire but the show’s high ratings has helped usher in the career for many potential stars.

If you checked out the latest episode, you likely took notice to the cocksure young Latina woman who refused to be wedged in between a group at Hakeem Lyon’s behest. The character Valentina knew exactly knew the route to her would-be label boss’ heart (through the canals of his zipper, of course) and automatically became a series wild card after just a short time on the screen.

Empire may have introduced Becky G (short for Gomez) to a broader audience but the 18-year-old (cue your Kanye West “old enough” jokes) singer hailing from Inglewood, California has been grinding on the Internet with covers and originally penned songs since she started high school.

This isn’t Becky G’s fist appearance on the TV screens either. She has had two of her own TV series the one I’ve personally seen being “Drop The Mic with Becky G”, I believe it was on Hulu however I believe they are on Youtube as well now.

This appears the be the first time she has played this intensity of a role with this caliber of cast. Though she is now 18 and legal in the eyes of society. Personally I see this as the beginning a new chapter that only intends to escalate for this beautiful and talented young lady.
