Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) is a Puerto Rican superstar rapper, singer, and producer who’s widely regarded as one of the biggest global music artists today.
Born March 10, 1994, he’s nicknamed “El Conejo Malo” and often credited with mainstreaming Latin trap, reggaeton, and Spanish-language music worldwide.
Just days ago (February 8, 2026), he headlined the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium — the first all-Spanish performance in Super Bowl history. It was a massive, joyful celebration of Puerto Rican and Latino culture, featuring guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. Highlights included a real couple getting married on stage (with Bad Bunny as a witness!), nods to Puerto Rico’s history (sugarcane fields, El Morro fort), and hits like “Tití Me Preguntó” and others.
The show drew huge praise for its energy and cultural pride, though it sparked some controversy and political backlash ( e.g., criticism over messages of unity amid tensions around immigration and ICE ). Right after the performance, he wiped his Instagram clean (0 posts now, despite 52M+ followers), sparking speculation about new music or a social media reset.
He’s coming off making history at the Grammys too — his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS ( or similar recent project ) reportedly won big, including a first for a Spanish-language Album of the Year win, boosting his streams massively.
