Entrepreneur and media personality Kylie Jenner, of Afro-European descent and originally from Los Angeles, surprised in August 2025 by sharing a 47-second video in which she speaks fluent Spanish and uses colloquial Venezuelan expressions.
The clip, broadcast on Instagram as part of a promotion for her fashion brand KHY, caused a sensation among her Latin followers, especially Venezuelans, who applauded her for her pronunciation and linguistic closeness.
The surprising video of Kylie Jenner
In the recording, Kylie begins by saying: “Hi, my name is Kylie. My name is Kylie Jenner, and this is my new KHY.”
He then repeats the word “arrechísimo”, a popular expression in Venezuela to refer to something incredible or impressive.
Subsequently and humorously, he says: “The meanest whore in the world”-a phrase whose meaning she understood in context after receiving the translation. She commented amused that “I should know how to say that.”
The video summarizes a commercial campaign with an educational touch for Hispanic audiences: it combines fashion, humor and cultural legitimacy.
Latino reactions and virality among Spanish speakers
This content generated an immediate reaction among followers of social networks, especially the Venezuelan public.
Comments such as “That’s a real Veneca!” reflect appreciation for her linguistic effort and adoption of slang specific to her community.
Other Latino fans celebrated that a celebrity of his stature would take such a genuine approach to the Spanish language spoken by millions in the US.
This was not the first time Kylie has practiced Spanish: in previous years she had already starred in clips where she spoke comic or regional phrases while interacting with her stylist, Venezuelan Ariel Tejada, demonstrating a certain familiarity with the language.
The symbolic impact of your accent and learning
Her “sexy accent” in Spanish resonated for several reasons:
Authenticity: It is not stilted or overly formal Spanish. Uses colloquial expressions that connect with U.S. Hispanics.
Cultural closeness: When repeating a controversial phrase, acknowledge the context and translation, which demonstrates respect and openness.
Digital empowerment: A figure of your influence practicing the language elevates your value as a reference for bilingual youth.
This is relevant in an environment where the Hispanic market represents a growing economic force and where Spanish continues to gain presence in global networks.

Latino influence
Buzzy
Kylie Jenner is not a Spanish speaker by heritage, but she has had several appearances where she demonstrates knowledge of the language.
His friendship with Latinos such as Ariel Tejada or even singer Rosalia may have influenced his interest in incorporating Spanish words into his content.
This is part of a growing trend among non-Latino celebrities (such as Dua Lipa or Shawn Mendes) who are reaching out to Spanish to connect with global audiences.
In short, with this video Kylie Jenner not only presents a garment of her brand KHY, but she genuinely conquers the U.S. Hispanic audience with her fluency, humor and boldness to use her “sexy accent” in Spanish.
No inventions, no forced translation, just approaching the language of millions with a pronunciation that many Latinos consider even better than their English.
