J Balvin & Ryan Castro Talk Family, World Cup, and Fame | Close Friends Only with Instagram

This is Close Friends Only, Instagram's original series, where your favorite friend groups give you a glimpse into what - and who's - inside their green circle of trust. J Balvin links up with his close friend and fellow Colombian hitmaker Ryan Castro for a full house tour that turns into one of the most real conversations about family, fame, and football. The two open up about their first DMs from icons (The Weeknd and J Balvin himself), how Instagram shaped their come-up, and what it really means to build a life rooted in Colombian pride. Of course, no close friends hang is complete without a little tea - Ryan and J break down the making of their album, the loyalty pact behind their matching rings, and just how deep their brotherhood really runs. Oh, and there might be a World Cup debate or two.
