\n\t\u201cI\u2019m a huge pranker. I\u2019m always pranking my team. They suffer a lot,\u201d she admitted at the beginning of the episode, during which she called three people: her manager, Raymond Acosta<\/strong>; her friend and guest on the upcoming Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, Becky G; and her best friend, Daiky Gamboa, to whom she said she was postponing the tour to go \u201cfind love\u201d on a TV show.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI had the most random thing happen to me. Apparently, the team here is moving the whole tour around because something came up that\u2019s supposedly 10 times better \u2014 me going on Love Island<\/em>,\u201d she said to Gamboa, who replied, \u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKarol went on to explain that \u201cThere\u2019s a show called Love Island<\/em>,\u201d and \u201cit\u2019s supposedly a show to find love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGamboa interrupted by asking, \u201cWait, are you serious, or are you joking?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Colombian artist confirmed, \u201cI\u2019m serious. Noah called me to tell me this was literally the coolest thing ever and that it would take my career to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGamboa then tells her she is too famous for the hit reality show. \u201cNo celebrity I know \u2014 at your level, anyway \u2014 has ever done anything like that. Ever,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m calling you because you\u2019re the one who always knows that whole celebrity world and everything, and I wanted you to tell me, because I\u2019m really nervous and stressed,\u201d Karol replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s a reality show like La Casa de los Famosos<\/em>,\u201d he replied,\u00a0at which point Karol can be seen holding back a laugh. \u201cNo, no, no, no. I can\u2019t even\u2026I\u2019m honestly in shock that they\u2019re proposing that to you. I swear, I\u2019m in shock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNo, but I said yes<\/em>,\u201d Karol replied in an anguished tone.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAre you kidding me or what?\u201d Gamboa inquired, making Karol break character and burst out laughing as she admitted it was a joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou got me, stupid,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tKarol is gearing up for the world tour, which is set to kick off July 24 in Chicago. On Tuesday (July 13), Venezuelan singer Elena Rose, Colombian singer Greeicy and Becky G announced that they will be opening guests for the artist on select dates of the U.S. leg of the 63-stadium run.<\/p>\n

Tropicoqueta<\/em>, Karol G\u2019s fifth studio album, hit No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Latin Albums chart and No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200 following its release.<\/p>\n

\n\tUpon the album\u2019s debut, La Bichota shattered the record for a female artist by landing 20 simultaneous songs on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Hot Latin Songs Chart. Of those 20 concurrent hits, 18 were brand-new debuts from the album.<\/p>\n
