Speculation surrounding the romantic involvement of Peso and Nicole has been a hot topic in recent times

PEPSI CENTER, MEXICO: This Thursday, November 2, thousands of people witnessed the revelation of a long-held secret.

Amidst weeks of speculation and unaddressed rumors, Latin music artist Peso Pluma officially confirmed his relationship with Argentine rapper and singer Nicky Nicole by sharing an onstage kiss at the Pepsi Center WTC in Mexico City.

Speculation surrounding the romantic involvement of Peso (born Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija) and Nicole has been a hot topic in recent times.

Although the Mexican singer is popular in the United States and other countries, Nicole has also established herself in the Latin urban music scene.

Who is Nicky Nicole?

Hailing from Rosario, Argentina, Nicole Denise Cucco embarked on her career as an up-and-coming rapper by engaging in freestyle rap contests in her local community during her teenage years.

During her upbringing, Nicole developed a fondness for the vibrant rhythms of cumbia, a diverse Latin American musical genre.

As a student, she developed an interest in journalism, multimedia production, music, and film. Nicole also frequented her friends' rap battles.

Nicole has risen to become one of the most prominent pop and reggaeton artists in Latin America. She made her debut at the Billboard Latin Music Awards as an international performer at the age of 23.

The Argentine rapper and singer earned acclaim for her strong and confident demeanor in songs like 'Wapo Traketero,' 'Colocao,' and 'Alma,' which are presently available to listeners.

With a title that translates to "soul," the album 'Alma' encapsulates the authenticity that the 23-year-old artist has embraced after navigating through grief and the challenges of emotional growth, as reported by USA Today.

Nicky Nicole's early musical influences were rooted in the soulful sounds of British singer Amy Winehouse, but her background was primarily in hip-hop and Latin music.

"I connected a lot with how she sang and what she conveyed, and from then on, I decided I wanted to do music," she recounted.

Following her breakout hit 'Wapo Traketero' in 2019, Nicky Nicole teamed up with Argentinean producer and DJ Bizarrap for the viral sensation 'BZRP Music Sessions #13,' which has garnered over 200 million views on YouTube.

In November 2019, Nicky Nicole made her full-length debut with the release of 'Recuerdos' ('Memories').

The singer's second album, 'Parte De Mí' ('Part of Me'), released in 2021, brought her two platinum- and gold-certified songs from Rauw Alejandro's duet 'Sabe' and 'Colocao.'

Nicole continued to release hit after hit, including 'Mamichula,' 'Colocao,' and 'Mala Vida.'

Along with several other well-known artists, she has also worked with Trueno, Rauw Alejandro, Nathy Peluso, Tiago PZK, and Aitana.

Nicole's tracks have been climbing the charts on Spotify, where she has enjoyed remarkable success with her music. Her song 'Mala Vida' reached the top 50 in Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina, as per LATV.

Nicole has also appeared on a number of popular TV shows, including NPR's 'Tiny Desk,' 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' where she performed the songs 'Wapo traketero' and 'Don't touch mi Naik' with Lunay.

Nicole was the fifth artist from Argentina to participate in these programs.

In addition to her extensive tour of Europe and Latin America, she has also had the honor of performing at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
