The Puerto Rican also addressed current world issues.

Farruko took center stage at the 2022 Premio Lo Nuestro to perform a medley and receive the “Urban Excellence”  award on Thursday night (Feb. 24).

Ahead of receiving his special award, Farru performed his three songs “Ki” in collaboration with Daniel Habif, the EDM-infused “El Incomprendido,” and the Pedro Capo and O’Neill-assisted “Gracias.”

After his powerful performance, four of Farruko’s children got on stage to give his dad the award, to which he reacted with tears. “I thank you for your love for all these years, for feeding my family,” he said during his emotional speech. “I’m not saying goodbye, I’m just making a transition in my life and you’re going to meet the best Farruko.”

He then addressed the current world issues, stating: “I don’t want to talk to you about religion, but about reality. I don’t say it, the news today says it, the war that we are seeing in Russia with Ukraine. Many innocents dying. In Puerto Rico, my brother Ankhal is battling with life and death after being shot. Maybe here we are celebrating my career, but out there there are many people dying. Even if it feels rewarding, even if it feels glorious, I give the glory to God. Don’t forget to love your neighbor, love your enemy, forgive and be forgiven, and have compassion on others.”

Farruko, who recently announced his embracement of Christianity, was an eight-time nominee at the 34th annual Premio Lo Nuestro awards.

Suki Waterhouse has spoken candidly about how she found herself crying constantly after the birth of her daughter.

The singer and actress reflected on her experience as a mother more than two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their baby girl in March 2024.

During an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Suki explained that motherhood has completely shifted her outlook on life.

"I think it's made me marvel at our humanness. It's so funny, even just your kid getting a fever, watching a little body recover from that, it's brought me down to what it is to be alive and I really love that," she said. "It feels very survivalist and medieval in a way, especially birth, birth is medieval."

The Daisy Jones & The Six actress, 34, shared that she was caught off guard by just how exposed and emotional she felt after giving birth to her daughter.

"I'm almost two and a half years in now, but when she was first born, I remember thinking that I can't believe everybody does this and I can't believe how vulnerable I feel," she told the publication. "I was crying all the time."

Suki continued, "It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just... shocking."

The Notting Hill singer also admitted that she has never considered herself someone who cries easily, making those emotions all the more surprising.

"It's so f**king weird! I'm not a cryer! I'm so not an emotional person, I'm such a Capricorn. But being a mum just fed me up in such a sweet way," she stated. "It just absolutely broke open my heart, and I'm just madly in love and, despite my crying right now, I enjoy it so much and I'm so taken by my daughter and so in love with doing it with my partner and I just feel the preciousness of it very much."

Suki and Twilight actor Robert, 40, have been in a relationship since 2018 and announced they were expecting their first child together toward the end of 2023.

The pair have largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and have yet to publicly share the name of their daughter.
