On Thursday (June 11) La Doble P joined soccer fans at the Adidas 2026 World Cup Opening Watch Party at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, where he headlined the massive show. Before taking the stage to perform, the Jalisco native sat down with Billboard to discuss Mexico’s 3-0 victory against South Africa earlier that day, his enthusiasm for the team and his most recent success on the charts.
The artist described himself as euphoric and expressed pride in wearing the jersey while watching the match: “Mexicans are the most bada–, man,” said Pluma. When asked what he wished for the team as it prepares to face South Korea in its next match on June 18, he replied, “May God bless them and may they give it their all, so that this time we’re in that [final] game. And we’re going to be supporting from [the] outside, as it should be.”
The Grammy winner also admitted that he has high hopes for his country’s team during this World Cup. “Well, [I’m] really happy because we debuted on the right foot. Mexico’s going to win. Mexico has to win. Attract it — the law of attraction — Mexico’s going to win,” he said.
The artist also weighed in on the current success of his song “Daño,” from his 2026 album, Dinastía, which peaked at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs and is currently sitting at No. 9.
“We are very happy, because it’s a song we all really like from the album,” Pluma said. “It’s a song from Dinastía that stood out. The fans in Mexico really liked it and also here in the United States. And it’s a song that throughout the whole tour, [fans] cried and sang and yelled the lyrics to, and that fills our soul.”
