I used to be a big fan of bad bunny but now I’m disappointed.
Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter who makes music that blends different genres, including Latin trap and reggaetón.
He became popular in 2016 with his song “Diles” and has since released many successful albums and collaborated with other famous artists, like Drake, Daddy Yankee (the king of reggaetón), Rosalia and more.
He sings about love, heartbreak, and social issues, and his music is enjoyed by many young people from Latinx communities.
His music covers topics like love, heartbreak, and social issues, and is enjoyed by many young people from Latinx communities.
Bad Bunny has also appeared in movies and TV shows and has donated money to help people in need.
He has won many awards for his music and has become an important cultural figure for many people.
One of his best songs is ‘Yo perreo sola,’ which translates to ‘I Twerk Alone’ or ‘I Dance Alone.’
It features a reggaeton beat with a catchy melody and lyrics that empower women to dance and enjoy themselves without needing a partner, challenging traditional gender roles in Latinx culture. The music video features Bad Bunny dressed in drag, which has been seen as a powerful message of acceptance and inclusivity.
The song has been very successful and has been praised for its feminist message and positive impact on Latinx culture.
If you watch the video clip till the end, you’ll see a message that says (in Spanish): “If she doesn’t want to dance with you, respect it, she twerks alone.”
Bad Bunny is one of the first singers in Latin music to explore women’s perspectives, and some even call him a feminist.
Another great song from his last album is ‘Andrea.’ The main theme of the song centers around a woman named Andrea, who is a dreamer aiming for more than what the island currently has to offer.
Despite being strong, independent, and intelligent, the Andrea represented in the song faces constant obstacles in her quest for happiness and success.
Some thought the song was inspired by the death of Andrea Ruiz, who testified in court under Puerto Rico’s domestic violence intervention and protection law after they denied her petition for a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Miguel Ocasio.
During her viral testimony in March 2021, Ruiz detailed how Ocasio stalked, persecuted and emotionally abused her. She also explained how the man had threatened to share intimate photos of her on social media.
However, despite her pleading, the judge found “no cause” for arresting him. A month later, on April 28, 2021, the 35-year-old woman was found burned on the side of the road. Ocasio confessed to killing Ruiz, according to the police. He later committed suicide in prison. This tragic event gave another strong meaning to the song.

One more important song from Bad Bunny’s last album is ‘El Apagón.’ In the music video, he mixed the song with a documentary about displacement and other injustices faced by his home island. ‘El Apagón’ translates to ‘the blackout,’ and this torch song refers to Puerto Rico’s power outages. In 2017, the world’s second-longest blackout in history began after Hurricane Maria decimated the island’s power grid. Many more people lost power again four years later when a fire broke out at one of the island’s largest power plants. The song talks about how Puerto Rico is a hard place to live and how many Puerto Ricans are trying to have a better life.
And now, Latinx people feel abandoned by Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Martinez Ocasio.
He has recently caused an uproar within the Latinx community by allegedly dating Kendall Jenner, who is part of the Kardashian clan and has a tequila company.
This situation almost sounds like a joke.
His lasts shows were only in the US, and now he’s preforming in Coachella.
As I read in a magazine:
“Now, having her date one of the biggest Latin artists in our community feels like gentrification is happening before our eyes.
Bad Bunny sang with about how everyone wants to be Latinos “pero les falta sazón,” all summer long. Somehow, we thought he understood the unspoken rule of not dealing with known culture vultures.
Though most of the drama on the internet regarding this is a bit much, it’s kind of hard not to feel disappointed.
But as we can see, he is not one of us, after all. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean we should stop supporting or listening to his music.
He has done great things for our community too. We can’t forget that.”
So I feel like he lost his values and I’m pretty disappointed, but maybe it’s just none of my business?
