Becky G is one pop diva that loves a good collaboration. The Latina has teamed up musically with everyone from will.i.am and French Montana to Pitbull and Bad Bunny. Music isn’t the only place Becky likes to collaborate with another party. Earlier this year, the “Shower” singer also joined forces with ColourPop Cosmetics to create her own line of bold and brilliant makeup. So, it seems that when it comes to creating, the entertainer isn’t afraid to get other voices into the mix. 

It now seems that Becky G has confirmed another big collaboration and it has set Stan Twitter ablaze with suspicion and hype. 

On Wednesday night, Becky took to Twitter to make a mysterious tweet that started a storm of speculation. In it, she used the hashtag “#BeckyHasAnotherSecret.” At first glance, the hashtag could have been referring to the Latina’s new single “Secrets” that was just released on September 13th. However, another tweet soon joined her own and added to the mystery. 

BTS member J-Hope responded via the band’s official Twitter handle with the words, “Hey @iambeckyg, I have a secret, too…🤭😭👍” along with the mysterious abbreviated hashtag #CNS. In response, Becky retweeted J-Hope’s message and included a series of emojis of her own, playing it coy with their shared secret keeping. 

That’s all it took for Beasters (Becky G fans) and member’s of BTS’ A.R.M.Y. to go into overdrive trying to figure out what the secret is. 

Fans of both of the entertainers are determined that these tweets confirm a collaboration between the two. Latinx members of the A.R.M.Y. — which boasts impressive numbers on Twitter — is especially living right now with the thought of a creative meeting between their favorite K-Pop band and the Latina singer.

J-Hope, whose nickname is Hobi, and Becky’s musical mashup has been dubbed “Hobi G” by fans and has is something that Beasters and the A.R.M.Y. have been expecting for a while. The pair met back in May of 2019 at the Billboard Music Awards and J-Hope has since named Becky as one of his potential future collaborators. 

Back in September, rumors of a BTS and Becky G partnership got more credit when the Latina shared a short Instagram story while in L.A. In the video, some Korean snacks were shown. Fans connected the dots and speculated that J-Hope or other members of the Korean super group were on set with the Latina.

The suspicion of a secret collaboration was further stoked by the A.R.M.Y.’s own tracking of J-Hope’s whereabouts. 

Around the time of Becky’s Korean snack food Instagram story, J-Hope (whose real name is Jung Hoseok) was in L.A. for “unknown solo promotion.” This was during BTS’ scheduled vacation and the K-Pop star was back in Korea after only a few days in the States.  
When he was asked about the trip in a later interview, J-Hope simply said that the visit was part of “important businesssu.” However, the Korean star later teased fans with with news of an upcoming project. “Hang in there!! Everybody will be surprised,” he wrote to a fan on the Weverse app.

The A.R.M.Y. and Beasters also took Becky’s recent promotion of her new single as a sign that a collaboration was in the works. 

On September 12, the Latina began using the hashtag #BeckyHasASecret in a series of tweets. Though this hashtag was later proved to be promotion for her new single, “Secrets,” A.R.M.Y. members and Beasters alike were certain that the secret Becky was referring to was the much-anticipated collab. 

With so many suspicions but no confirmations, fans were cautious not to jump to conclusions when Becky made her most recent “secret” tweet. That is, until J-Hope retweeted it and all but confirmed the wishes of thousands of fans. 

Now that the collaboration is officially happening, the A.R.M.Y. and Beasters are all trying to decode what #CNS means and what it has to do with this new partnership.

Fans are having fun speculating what the acronym might actually stand for. Some of the guesses include phrases like “Cuenta Nuestro Secreto,” “Can Nobody Sleep,” “Consumer Network Service,” “Consulting N Solutions,” and “Central Nervous System.” Fans are also wondering whether this collaboration is a new song or a remix of one of BTS’ or Becky G’s already released singles.

To add to the mystery, the official account for “The Masked Singer” also retweeted the Becky G/J-Hope series of tweets and added its own set of eye emojis. Now fans are wondering if the tweets are referring to an appearance on the singing entertainment show or if the account was just adding unnecessary mystery to the mix. 

There’s no saying what this Becky G and BTS collaboration will entail as of yet but one thing is certain: Stan Twitter is ready for whatever it is. 

There is terrible news coming out of Mexico this week as media reports say Jose Arredondo, a U.S. citizen and father of K-Pop star Samuel, was reportedly beaten to death in Cabo San Lucas. The 58-year-old, who is the well-known owner of a car dealership in Bakersfield, California, was found dead on Tuesday morning in a condominium with “signs of blunt force trauma,” police said. According to a local media outlet, Tribunal de Los Cabos, Arredondo was discovered “laying on the floor with several wounds caused by a knife in the back.” 

This story is shocking on many fronts as authorities try to uncover more details on how this all could have happened.

Arredondo was a revered family and community member in the Bakersfield area who came to the United States at the age of 11 from the Mexican state of Michoacan. He would work his way up to own several local dealerships after starting off washing cars in Los Angeles. Arredondo would be promoted to become a salesman that would be the start of a career auto retail industry. 

One of Arredondo’s closest friends was Rev. James Ranger, the lead pastor at New Life Church, where he attended for 20 years. Ranger told Bakersfield.com that Arredondo was “the real deal” and an individual would constantly give back to the church, this included donating brand-new cars to the church for fundraising. 

“He was tough as nails but he had a beautiful heart,” Ranger said about his good friend. 

While Samuel’s father came from Mexico and his mother from Korea, he was born in the U.S. Samuel, whose full name is Samuel Kim Arredondo, rose to stardom at a young age. He would appear in many of his father’s car dealership commercials and sing. He would also appear on the online show Seventeen TV before making it big on the K-pop scene. 

There has been much support and condolences that have been pouring in since the news broke.  

Many of Samuel’s fans have taken to social media to share their thought and deep condolences for the tragic news of his father’s passing. “My condolence. I hope that you are surrounded by your loved ones and I know it’s hard but please stay strong, you’re not alone Samuel #StayStrongSamuel,” one user wrote on Twitter. 

Another fan took the time to write out a short personal message for Samuel. She said that many of his fans are standing right there with him during this difficult time. 

“Dear Samuel, I know you’re not fine right now… What you’re facing is so hard and depressing but always remember… We-your fans- will always be here with you. We had your back. Always. Sending all the love I can give. Louise Lazaro. Your fan.”

This untimely death has struck the Bakersfield community as much as it has many of Samuel’s fans. 

Arredondo played a huge role in his community and many have shown their support and how he affected their lives personally. Besides being a car dealership owner, Arredondo played a pivotal role in encouraging children to stay in school and pursue higher education. He also was a big supporter in feeding farm labor workers in the nearby Central Valley.

Francisco Duran, who was a fan of Arredondo growing up, wrote on Facebook that the news hit him hard. He was one of those that was personally touched many of his positive car commercials. 

“Sad news. I was thinking about quitting Bakersfield College back in 1995 when I saw him on TV. He was encouraging kids to stay in school. He changed my mind about quitting.”

John Pitre, the chief operations officer at Motor City Buick GMC and Motor City Lexus of Bakersfield, told the Bakersfield.com that the untimely death was a “tragic event.” Pitre noted that Arredondo played a big role in the car dealers business. 

“He was a valuable member of our community and we’re certainly going to miss him,” Pitre said. “We’re certainly in mourning and we’ll say a prayer for him.”

While there are still many questions about the case there are still no suspects that have been identified at this time, investigators said.
