Katherinne Huerta (born October 5, 1997) known professionally as Bellakath, is a Mexican singer, songwriter and record producer. She went viral after the release of her single "Gatita" in 2022. In October 5, 2023, she released her first studio album Kittyponeo.
Life[edit]
Huerta grew up in the Agrícola Oriental neighborhood in Iztacalco, Mexico.[2] She attended high school at the Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades.[2] Huerta graduated with a law degree from National Autonomous University of Mexico.[2]
From 2018 to 2019, Huerta was a contestant on the dating show Enamorándonos.[3] She subsequently became a social media personality.[3] In 2020, she started her music career with the release of the singles, "La Gata De La Agricola Oriental" and "Lluvia De Micheladas".[4] On December 21, 2022, Huerta released her single titled "Gatita".[2] In March 2023, after it went viral on TikTok, she faced allegations of plagiarism for her song, as users identified similarities to "La Carcacha".[5] Following accusations that she had misappropriated the track from another individual, "Gatita" was removed from several streaming platforms.[5]
In January 2023, she faced backlash from Enamorándonos host Carmen Muñoz for sharing a racist meme about Mexican actresses Yalitza Aparicio and Martha Higareda in 2019.[6]
