In the realm of professional sports, emotions often run high. And it seems like NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s emotional outburst months ago has struck a chord with someone unexpected – popular singer Becky G. The past few months have been tumultuous for Becky G, as her personal life has been in the spotlight due to rumors of her fiancé, MLS star Sebastian Lletget.

The FC Dallas midfielder in March was accused of cheating on his fiancee. And the situation escalated when Lletget issued a public apology to Becky G. This scandal has undoubtedly put a strain on their relationship. But the singer has so far chosen not to publicly address these allegations. Also, amidst all the drama, it appears that Becky G is expressing her emotions after being prompted by Antetokounmpo’s viral moment.

Whether it’s the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat, athletes are no strangers to intense feelings. In April, Giannis Antetokounmpo found himself in the midst of a viral moment after his team, the Milwaukee Bucks, suffered a tough first-round playoff defeat by the Miami Heat. This defeat, coupled with a reporter’s question about considering the season a failure, sent Antetokounmpo into a state of frustration and anger.

Since then the moment has become viral on social media. And now, even after being late to the party, Becky G seems to have connected to the video. Recently the singer shared the video of the outburst on her Instagram story. Alongside the clip, she accompanied a message to her followers, particularly her fellow “creatives”.

I’m proud of myself dammit. I love what I do,” Becky G expressed. “I want to learn from & enjoy my process and journey. Even the hard parts. We were NOT created to stay the same. We evolve and try new things. I’m so excited for my future man”. She didn’t stop there and added, “Social media has created illusions, fueled entitlement in strangers to have a say in other people’s lives, & has us falling for instant gratification as REAL happiness”.

The American singer then ended it all with a message to people saying, “Life is a marathon. Not a race. Let’s be kind, mind our business, & take care of ourselves & the people we love”. Becky G’s decision to share Antetokounmpo’s viral moment seems to indicate that she resonates with his emotional response to defeat and criticism. The intense emotions displayed by the NBA star mirror the rollercoaster of emotions Becky G may have experienced throughout her own personal turmoil.
