Ricky Martin calls out Dazed for ignoring Karol G in fashion post

Ricky Martin is showing his support for Colombian superstar Karol G after she was noticeably omitted from a Dazed magazine Instagram caption following Paris Fashion Week.

The post in question featured a photo of Karol G alongside Hunter Schafer, Dua Lipa, and Cardi B. However, Dazed only mentioned Schafer, Lipa, and Cardi B—ignoring Karol G, despite her prominent placement in the image.

Ricky Martin jumped into the comments with a pointed remark that quickly gained traction: “Excuse me, but who are the ladies sitting next to @karolg ???” His response was widely praised by fans and followers who felt Karol G deserved equal recognition.

Karol G, a multi-Latin Grammy winner and one of the most influential Latin artists in the world, has become a staple at global fashion events, with her Paris Fashion Week appearance generating major buzz. The omission from Dazed’s caption, however, sparked accusations of bias and fueled online discussions about fair representation of Latin artists in mainstream media.

Ricky Martin’s vocal support adds weight to the criticism. Known for being outspoken on issues of inclusion, the pop icon’s defense of Karol G highlights ongoing concerns about Latinx visibility in fashion and entertainment.

As social media users continue to rally behind Karol G, Dazed has yet to respond publicly to the backlash. Meanwhile, the moment has only strengthened Karol G’s bond with her fans—and reminded the industry that her presence should not be overlooked.
