At Billboard’s Women in Music 2025 event, Kali Uchis honored Jennie with the Global Force Award, emphasizing their friendship and Jennie’s significant achievements. In her speech, Uchis praised Jennie’s historic Coachella performance in 2023 and thanked her for inviting Uchis to collaborate on the album, referencing Jennie’s debut studio album Ruby, which was released in March 2025.

Jennie and Kali Uchis teamed up for the track “Damn Right,” which is part of Jennie’s album Ruby. Uchis provided vocals, and Childish Gambino made an appearance on the song as well. Unfortunately, Gambino didn’t show up at Coachella, but at a surprise performance, Jennie and Uchis sang “Damn Right” together live. They exchanged R&B-style verses and harmonies during their set.

As a devoted admirer, I’ve been thrilled to witness the camaraderie between us artists unfold. We’ve stood side by side at public events and harmonized through our music. In March, I had the privilege of presenting Jennie with Billboard’s Global Force Award, expressing my awe for her achievements. Moreover, I was touched when she included me on her album, a gesture for which I am eternally grateful. Jennie reciprocated by inviting me to share the stage during her Coachella performance—a pivotal moment in her solo journey that I feel honored to have been part of. These collaborations underscore the deepening bond we share, not just professionally, but on a personal level as well.
