Katherinne Huerta (born October 5, 1997), known professionally as Bellakath, is a Mexican singer, songwriter and record producer. She started releasing music in 2020 and went viral after the release of her single "Gatita" in 2022 and for the single "Reggaeton Champagne" with Dani Flow in 2023.

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 Mexican version of 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] "Reggeaton Champagne" featuring Dani Flow, was released and went viral in 2023.[6]
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.[7]
