00:00 We are here backstage at the Billboard Latin Music Awards with our Icon Award recipient,
00:05 Evie Queen.
00:06 How are you?
00:07 Unbelievable, girl.
00:08 I feel like $2 million.
00:09 I feel...
00:10 You look like $2 million or more, girl.
00:15 Hello.
00:16 Girl, because I was coming to Billboard to get my Icon Award.
00:20 I am so happy, so excited.
00:23 At the same time, I have a lot of feelings too.
00:30 Because it's been a long journey and it's not stopping and God has blessed me with so
00:37 much stuff, you know, with work, with people who love me.
00:43 Talent has no expiration date.
00:46 And I feel so blessed to be alive doing what I love.
00:50 Now that you say you've had, you know, obviously a long trajectory, we were just celebrating
00:56 Latin Music Week and you were there with us again this year.
00:59 And Mike Towers was also there and he said something that is very important.
01:03 He said, "The path is difficult, but it is not impossible."
01:07 And I love that.
01:08 And I love that you inspire so many people, not only in the industry of music, but also
01:13 people like me, you know, our friends.
01:17 Tell me what the word "Icon" means for you.
01:21 Icon, it's a huge word.
01:24 But I have put up the word for it, you know.
01:28 But when I go home, I'd rather be mom.
01:32 But when I step in here, I'd rather be the queen that I am and carry myself with grace
01:38 and embrace each other.
01:40 You know, embrace everyone, give them love, give them respect.
01:45 It feels immense to be able to receive this award and to be called an icon.
01:50 It feels super big.
01:51 Before we let you go, because I know you want to go home already and celebrate and relax.
01:55 I got to get on a plane, girl.
01:57 Where are we going?
01:58 The hustle never stops, girl.
01:59 I'm going to Washington to get my coins, okay?
02:04 What can we expect for the rest of the year?
02:05 Any new music?
02:06 Music, my new album, my new record deal.
02:11 I won't tell yet.
02:12 I know you guys want to know, but yeah.
02:14 We also want the exclusive when you're ready.
02:16 You will have the exclusive.
02:17 You know, Leila is my friend.
02:19 So, if Leila doesn't have it first, no one has it.
02:22 You know how it is.
02:23 But a lot of music.
02:24 My tour in the United States that started in Puerto Rico, we're still doing it in the
02:30 United States.
02:31 I'm going to announce the dates and venues soon.
02:33 Well, we'll be very aware of it.
02:36 And thank you.
02:37 Congrats again.
02:38 You're welcome.
02:39 You're welcome.
02:40 Thank you very much.
02:41 We can eat in peace.
02:42 Thank you.
02:43 Love you guys.
02:44 Thank you.
