Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (born March 10, 1994), known professionally as Bad Bunny, is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, actor, and record producer.[5] Known as the "King of Latin Trap",[3][6] Bad Bunny is the first non-English-language act to become Spotify's most streamed artist of the year (he led Spotify's list from 2020 to 2022).[7] He holds the second-biggest streaming year of any artist in Spotify history, generating over 18.5 billion streams in 2022.[8][9] As of November 2024, his album Un Verano Sin Ti is the most streamed album on Spotify with over 17 billion streams.

Bad Bunny was born and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. His 2016 song "Diles" led to a recording contract with Hear This Music, and he went on to release songs such as "Soy Peor" and collaborate with Farruko, Karol G, Ozuna, and J Balvin.[3] His 2018 single "Mia" (featuring Drake) and appearing on Cardi B's single "I Like It" alongside J Balvin, topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[10] Bad Bunny's debut studio album, X 100pre (2018), peaked at number 11 on the U.S. Billboard 200,[11] while his collaborative album with J Balvin, Oasis (2019), reached the top-ten.[12] His second solo album, YHLQMDLG (2020), became the highest-charting all-Spanish album to appear on the Billboard 200 at the time.[13] It was followed up with the compilation album Las que no iban a salir (2020).[14]

El Último Tour Del Mundo (2020), Bad Bunny's third solo album, became the first all-Spanish language album to top the Billboard 200.[15] Its lead single, "Dákiti", reached the top-ten of the Hot 100. His fourth solo album, Un Verano Sin Ti (2022), spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and spawned various commercially successful singles.[16] It is the first Spanish-language album to be nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.[17] Throughout his career, Bad Bunny has earned three Grammy Awards, four Latin Grammy Awards, eight Billboard Music Awards, and thirteen Lo Nuestro Awards. He was crowned Artist of the Year by Apple Music in 2022.[18] As of April 2024, Bad Bunny has sold over seven million records worldwide.[19]

Outside of music, he performs in professional wrestling. Bad Bunny began making appearances on WWE programming in 2021 and made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37. He is a one-time WWE 24/7 Champion and has wrestled at the 2022 Royal Rumble and the 2023 Backlash pay-per-view events.

Early life

[edit]

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio was born on March 10, 1994, in the Almirante Sur barrio of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, and raised there.[1][2][3] His father, Tito Martínez, was a truck driver, and his mother, Lysaurie Ocasio, is a retired schoolteacher.[20][21] His parents had often listened to genres such as salsa, merengue, and pop ballads.[1][22][23][3] He has two younger brothers, Bernie and Bysael.[21] He has said, "I wasn't the kid who got involved in the streets. I liked to be at home with my family."[24]

As a child, he attended church weekly with his devoutly Catholic mother and sang in the church choir until age 13. After leaving the choir, he developed an interest in the artists he heard on the radio, particularly Daddy Yankee and Héctor Lavoe.[21] His stage name originally came from a time in which he was forced to wear a bunny costume and was angry about it.[22]

Speaking about the Puerto Rican music industry, he stated, "I'm from Vega Baja, a small area that's not a metropolis like San Juan where the majority of the genre's artists have come from."[25]

Music career

[edit]

2013–2017: Early career beginnings

In the summer of 2017, Bad Bunny signed a booking deal with Cardenas Marketing Network (CMN) for several Latin American countries.[35] Starting in November 2017, Bad Bunny hosted Beats 1's first Spanish-language show, Trap Kingz.[36][37] The remix of "Te Boté" with Ozuna and Nicky Jam reached number one on the Hot Latin Songs chart.[38]

2020–2021: YHLQMDLG, Las que no iban a salir, and El Último Tour Del Mundo

[edit]

In February 2020, Bad Bunny was a guest performer at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show, headlined by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.[52] Bad Bunny announced the album YHLQMDLG on February 27, 2020, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and stated that it would be released on Leap Day 2020, namely February 29.[53][54] The album's title stands for "Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana" (Spanish for "I Do What I Want") and features collaborations with Daddy Yankee, Yaviah, Jowell & Randy, Ñengo Flow, among other artist.[54][55]

YHLQMDLG debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, becoming the highest-charting all-Spanish album ever on the chart at the time.[56] The album was met with critical acclaim, with the album's musical diversity being praised.[57] "Vete" was released as the lead single of the album on November 22, 2019.[58] The second single, "Ignorantes", with Panamanian singer Sech came out on February 14, 2020.[59][53] In March 2020, Bad Bunny released the music video for "Yo Perreo Sola", in which the artist performs in drag.[60] "Yo Perreo Sola" landed number one on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart, earning Bad Bunny his ninth No.1 on the chart in just over two years.[61]

I just thought, 'Damn. What people need is entertainment'".[24] Bad Bunny had been filming his supporting role in Narcos: Mexico before filming was postponed due to the pandemic.[24] It premiered in November 2021.[65]

In July 2020, he appeared on the first digital cover of Playboy magazine as the first man to appear on the cover other than the magazine's founder, Hugh Hefner. The cover was shot by photographer Stillz in Miami, Florida, and the magazine includes a feature article entitled "Bad Bunny is Not Playing God."[66] He also received the ASCAP Latin award for Songwriter of the Year.[67] The following month, his song "Pero Ya No" appeared in an advertisement for politician Joe Biden's 2020 United States presidential election campaign.[68] On September 20, 2020, Bad Bunny performed a surprise, live (via his YouTube channel and Uforia), free concert from atop a flatbed truck that looked like a subway car going through the streets of New York and ended at Harlem Hospital.[69][70][71] In October 2020, Bad Bunny released the single "Dakiti", with Jhay Cortez, which topped the Billboard Global 200 and reached number five on the US Hot 100. The song is included on his third studio album, El Último Tour Del Mundo, which was released on November 27, 2020, and was described as a personal and ambitious record.[72][73] It became the first all-Spanish language album to reach number one on the Billboard 200.[73]

Bad Bunny and YHLQMDLG respectively became Spotify's most-streamed artist and album globally in 2020.[74] It marked the first time a non-English language music artist topped the year-end list,[75] with a The Guardian article considering him "the world's biggest pop star" for his streaming numbers.[76] The album received the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop or Urban Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.[77] On February 20, 2021, Bad Bunny performed "La Noche de Anoche" with Rosalía and "Te Deseo Lo Mejor" on Saturday Night Live, hosted by Regé-Jean Page, as well as appearing in the pre-recorded musical sketches "Loco" and "Sea Shanty".[78][79] On the US Billboard Hot 100, Bad Bunny's next single "Yonaguni" became his fourth top 10 entry and first with no accompanying acts.[80] Bad Bunny was cast in an upcoming David Leitch-directed film starring Brad Pitt.[81]

2022–present: Un Verano Sin Ti and Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana

[edit]

In January 2022, Bad Bunny was featured in Vogue Magazine for the second time modeling the current season's best bags.[94] In April 2022, Sony Pictures announced Bad Bunny as the lead for El Muerto, a film set in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. The film was originally set to be released on January 12, 2024,[95] prior to being removed from the release schedule.[96] On May 6, 2022, Bad Bunny released his fourth (fifth overall) studio album Un Verano Sin Ti which it became commercially successful as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and stood there for thirteen non-consecutive weeks.[97][98]

Bad Bunny began his fourth concert tour World's Hottest Tour on August 5, 2022, set to visit fourteen countries of the American continent.[99] On October 4, 2022, the tour became the highest-grossing tour by a Latin artist in history, earning US$232.5 million at the time.[100] Bad Bunny received the most nominations (eight) for the 2022 American Music Awards, including his first for artist of the year.[101]

On May 19, 2023, Bad Bunny released his first solo single of the year titled "Where She Goes", in which he ventured into jersey club music. The music video had cameos from Frank Ocean, Lil Uzi Vert, Ronaldinho, and others.[102]

In an interview with Vanity Fair on September 12, 2023, Bad Bunny revealed that he is no longer involved in the upcoming El Muerto film after its schedule removal. He has also confirmed that he is working on a new album that is planned to come out sometime during the fall, Bad Bunny hinted at the possibility of the upcoming project's sound, confirming that he is "playing around and enjoying myself, letting go. I'm being inspired a lot by the music of the '70s, —across genres, in both Spanish and English, but I'm not sure if this is going to shape my music, generally or just one song,"[103] After weeks of unconfirmed teasers and rumors, Bad Bunny revealed the album's title Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, which has 22 tracks and was released on October 13, 2023.[104] In May 2024, Bad Bunny co-chaired the annual Met Gala in Manhattan.[105]

Artistry

[edit]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

Bad Bunny is considered to be primarily a Latin trap and reggaeton artist.[5][107][6][24] As described in a Rolling Stone article, Bad Bunny sings and raps with a "conversational tone", employing "a low, slurry tone, viscous melodies, and a rapper's cadence."[25] Throughout the years, Bad Bunny has listed his influences with a wide variety of artists from multiple genres such as Héctor Lavoe, Vico C, Romeo Santos, Juan Luis Guerra, Elvis Crespo, Ricky Martin, Juan Gabriel, Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, Ivy Queen, Tego Calderón, Wisin & Yandel, Calle 13, Víctor Manuelle, and Marc Anthony, amongst many others. He considers himself to be a "music fanatic" which is the reason why he's inspired by so many people.[1][6][3][108][109][110][111] During an episode of Behind the Music, he talked about Ricky Martin's legacy for Latin music and Latin artists, and how Martin changed the music landscape for future Latin artists.[109][112][113] In the music video for Neverita, Bad Bunny paid homage to the Suavemente music video by Puerto Rican artist Elvis Crespo, leaving a message in the end translated from Spanish as "In honor of the best video of all time". Elvis Crespo later felt honored by his tribute and ended up doing a merengue version of the song himself in which he performed at the 2022 Latin Billboard Music Awards.[114][110][115]

Although primarily considered to be a Latin trap and reggaeton artist, his music also incorporates various other elements from other genres such as pop, hip-hop, rock, electronic, reggae, dancehall, Latin, soul, and R&B.[5][107][6][24][3] Some publications have credited him for bringing Latin trap into the mainstream in the English-language music market.[116][117][3]

According to Timothy Monger of AllMusic, his lyrics "range from humor and pathos to heartbreak and anger (sometimes in the same song)".[5] According to Paper, other themes explored in Bad Bunny's music include "self-love, inclusivity, and LGBTQ acceptance".[118]

Public image

[edit]

Vanessa Rosales of CNN has opined that "in pink, florals and short shorts, Bad Bunny champions a new masculinity".[119]

He has appeared at award shows with manicured, polished, and long fingernails.[6][120] Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian opined in 2020 that Bunny's style influenced fellow Latin artists, who "often now share his highly colorful mashup of streetwear and tailoring."[76]

Personal life

[edit]

Relationships

[edit]

In 2017, while eating at a restaurant with his family after performing at a Zion and Lennox concert, Bad Bunny met jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri.[24][121] They soon began collaborating professionally before their relationship became public. The two would go their separate ways in late 2022.[122]

Bad Bunny began dating model and media star Kendall Jenner first began to circulate in 2023.[123] In September 2023, the two featured together in a shoot for Gucci's Valigeria campaign, one that "explores the intimacy of traveling together."[124]

Sexuality

[edit]

In July 2018, Bad Bunny had criticized a nail salon in Asturias, Spain, for refusing to give him service since he was a man; the post led to homophobic comments and questions concerning Bad Bunny's sexuality. Bad Bunny responded to the hateful comments by offering to impregnate the wives of his critics. The post was deleted and Bad Bunny later apologized and deleted his Twitter account.[125][111]

In support of LGBT rights, Bad Bunny criticized a tweet by reggaeton artist Don Omar considered to be homophobic in January 2019.[126] During a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in February 2020, he called attention to the murder of transgender woman Alexa Negrón Luciano in Puerto Rico by wearing a shirt with the words "They Killed Alexa. Not a Man in a Skirt", referencing news reports that had misgendered the victim.[127][24] Ricky Martin has stated that Bad Bunny "has become an icon for the Latin queer community" due to his support of gay and transgender Latinos as well as his embrace of drag culture.[24] Bad Bunny was recognized for his allyship in 2023 by queer advocacy organization GLAAD when Ricky Martin presented him with the Vanguard Award for allyship at the 34th GLAAD Media Awards.[128]

Bad Bunny has also expressed publicly that he views his own sexuality as fluid. In a 2020 interview with the Los Angeles Times, he stated, "At the end of the day, I don't know if in 20 years I will like a man. One never knows in life. But at the moment I am heterosexual and I like women."[129] At the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards he kissed a male dancer during his performance of "Tití Me Preguntó".[130]

Activism

[edit]

Bad Bunny criticized the lack of humanitarian aid in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island of Puerto Rico.[131] He established the Good Bunny Foundation, which distributes toys to children living in poverty in Puerto Rico.[24]

In 2019, he was nominated for Telemundo's inaugural Premios Tu Música Urbano, in the category of "Humanitarian Award of the Year".[132]

On July 22, 2019, Bad Bunny joined artists such as Residente, Ricky Martin, and more than half a million Puerto Ricans in taking the streets and shutting down the Expreso Las Américas, a major highway also known as the Autopista Luis A. Ferré, in protests against government corruption and demanding Ricardo Rosselló's resignation from the office of Governor of Puerto Rico.[133] In May 2020, he had not taken a position regarding the Puerto Rican statehood movement and had stated that he would prefer to answer at a later time with more clarification.[24] He later concluded his answer in January 2021 stating that he would never "want to see Puerto Rico become a State". It was widely understood that he was not necessarily advocating for Puerto Rican independence, only that he opposed the territory ever becoming the 51st state.[134]

After a rally held by Republican nominee Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden in October 2024 ahead of the 2024 United States presidential election, in which comedian Tony Hinchcliffe compared Puerto Rico to a "floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean," Bad Bunny posted several videos on Instagram of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris that were critical of Trump.[135]

He endorsed Juan Dalmau of the Alianza de País party in the 2024 Puerto Rico gubernatorial election.[136]

[edit]

In March 2023, a woman who had been in a relationship with Bad Bunny from 2011 to 2016 filed a US$40 million lawsuit against the rapper and his manager for unauthorized usage of a recording of her voice. According to the lawsuit, a 2015 recording of the woman saying "Bad Bunny, baby" was used without her permission in the songs "Pa Ti" and "Dos Mil 16".[137]

Bunny would intervene during the match, preventing Dominik from attacking Rey with a chain.[148] Two nights later on Raw, Bunny—who was seated front row as a fan—was attacked and chokeslammed through the announcers table by former partner Damian Priest, who was now a teammate of Dominik Mysterio in The Judgment Day.[149] On the April 24 episode, Bunny returned and attacked Priest with a kendo stick, subsequently announcing that instead of hosting Backlash, he would be wrestling Priest in a San Juan Street Fight at the event.[150] On the May 5 episode of SmackDown, Bunny helped the Latino World Order (LWO) save Rey Mysterio from an attack from The Judgment Day, leading to Mysterio giving Bunny an LWO t-shirt, signifying his addition to the group.[151][152] At Backlash on May 6, Bunny defeated Damian Priest in a San Juan Street Fight, to the admiration of his home fans.[153]
