A high court in Colombia has ruled that the song “+57,” performed by J Balvin and Karol G, infringed on children’s rights due to its sexualized lyrics.
The court’s decision highlights the importance of protecting minors from content that objectifies them, emphasizing that such portrayal can pose risks to their development.
Since its release in November, “+57” sparked controversy, drawing criticism from child rights organizations and music critics alike.
The ruling mandated that the involved artists refrain from producing music that violates children’s rights.
The song’s provocative themes, such as a young woman’s nightlife exploits, have raised concerns about the messages conveyed to impressionable audiences.
Karol G, expressing regret, acknowledged the situation on social media, indicating that she understands the need for greater responsibility in her artistic expressions.
This case not only centers on individual accountability but also raises broader questions about the influence of urban music on societal norms and youth culture.
