Peso Pluma:
To be part of this weekend, and being Mexican, it really means a lot for me, because I’m the one representing my country here, my Mexican flag wherever I go, and I’m just proud. I’m just proud to represent my flag and my colors.

CORTIS:
It’s a big honor to be invited to this certain event. It’s the first time NBA Celebrity Game having the halftime performance. It’s just a big honor. We are certainly very nervous for it. Yeah, wish we can perform well and give the fans entertainment. And we just rehearsed like two days ago, the place was so amazing. We were kind of nervous at the time. But yeah, we hope we could finish the performance strong.

They go hand in hand. I feel like most of the athletes are listening to rap. They listen to our music. We watching them play. We are fans of what they’re doing on the court.
