What is the true story of Bad Bunny?

At the age of 29, born in Puerto Rico, he is already considered one of the best artists of his time, and he is also the first Latino to appear on the cover of ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine, reminds Marca.

Its original name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasioalthough his international recognition is Bad Bunny, an interesting pseudonym he acquired from a childhood experience.

Marca dug into his past and discovered that Benito dressed up as a rabbit for a school activity as a child, which he didn’t like, according to Spanish media.

By then, the little boy had to pose for a photo and he did it with an angry face. Years later, this image served to use the nickname by which he is now known throughout the world.

As for his interest in music, it dates back to when he was a child and was part of the church choir he attended with his mother. However, at the age of 13, the shy boy began to explore other genres by listening to artists such as Héctor Lavoe and Daddy Yankee.

He started writing and composing his own songs at the age of 14, but it wasn’t until 2013 that he started publishing them on SoundCloud. Three years later, fame surrounded him after the official release of the first single “Soy menos” and his collaboration with Cardi B and Drake on the singles “I Like It” and “Mia”.

Bad Bunny identified himself with reggaeton and Latin trap, although he also explored other genres such as kizomba or corrido norteño.

In September 2023, when it was launched “Review”, warned that it would be his last reggaeton of the year. To the surprise of his fans, he kept his word as he released to the world an album full of songs that move away from that urban genre by adding other beats he’s already explored, like trap and hip hop, which is sure to be a success.
