The buzz around the Colombian artist's performance was sparked earlier this week when the Copa America social media teased a collaboration with an image of a soccer ball and white sunglasses, hinting at Feid's iconic look.

Feid's participation in such a prestigious event underscores his skyrocketing career. With over 17.6 billion streams on Spotify, he ranks as the 6th most-streamed global artist, a testament to his widespread popularity and musical prowess.

His hits like "Luna," currently in the global top 10, and "Perro Negro" with Bad Bunny have garnered hundreds of millions of plays, solidifying his status as a chart-topping artist.

Feid's vibrant social media presence, with over 17 million followers across platforms like Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok, further amplifies his reach. His engaging and often viral content has made him a household name in the Latin music scene, enhancing his connection with a diverse global audience.

In tandem with his Copa America performance, Feid is also in the middle of his FerxxoCalipsis Tour 2024.
