Nezza Doesn’t Regret Singing National Anthem in Spanish at Dodgers Game: ‘Don’t Be Scared, Speak Out’

Nezza explains that she doesn't regret singing the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgers Game during the No Kings protest.

Nezza may have reportedly faced backlash from the Los Angeles Dodgers after singing the national anthem in Spanish on June 14, but the Latin pop singer who grew up in California’s Bay Area is proud of what she did, and is urging others to speak out in support of what’s right. I’ll do it fully in Spanish.’ So I went into that stadium fully thinking I was OK because all they said was ‘You have 90 seconds,'” explained the singer, who performed the national anthem’s Spanish translation “El Pendón Estrellado,” which was the U.S. Department of Defense commissioned in 1945 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor Policy focused on improving the relationship of the U.S. and Latin American countries. The singer went on to explain to Luna on the late-night show that she was incredibly nervous to perform the song in Spanish.
