Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (born March 10, 1994), known professionally as Bad Bunny, is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and record producer.[5] He is 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 December 2023, his album Un Verano Sin Ti is the most streamed album on Spotify with over 14 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]
Outside of music, Bad Bunny performs in professional wrestling. He 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.
