Rapper and freestyle artist Kala Rivero gained attention on the Telefe reality show Popstars after performing a duet with Nicki Nicole during her audition. Following the performance, Nicki Nicole suggested she would take Rivero on tour, stating, ‘Obvio, ya está’ (Of course, it’s already done).

However, Rivero was later eliminated from the competition during a round focused on choreography, teamwork, and physical performance. Of the original 96 contestants, 68 moved forward to the next stage of the competition.
