“I am Puerto Rican, I am Caribbean, and my music, my culture, my country’s history run through my veins, from plena to reggaetón,” Bad Bunny said in a press release. “At the peak of my career and popularity, I want to show the world who I am, who BENITO ANTONIO is, and who PUERTO RICO is.”
In an interview with Time, also published on Jan. 5, Bad Bunny shared his views on wealthy foreigners moving to Puerto Rico.
“Politically and historically, they know nothing about Puerto Rico, nor are they interested in knowing,” the rapper said. “They don’t even know that Puerto Ricans on the island don’t even vote for the president, but they do know that they can go to the island to legally evade taxes. That’s something that shocked me.”
He added, “Tourists come here to enjoy the beautiful places, and then they leave and they don’t have to deal with the problems that Puerto Ricans have to deal with day-to-day.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Bad Bunny addressed comedian/podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” during a Donald Trump rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden in October 2025.
“I consider myself a person who to a certain point likes dark humor,” he told Time. “But the detail was that it was not a standard comedy nor a comedy show, it was a political rally.”
“Most people don’t know who the f— you are,” the rapper aded, referring to Hinchcliffe. “They’re going to assume that you’re a politician at a political rally. So that awakens people who may be there and think the same as you, and say ‘Yes, Puerto Rico [is]….’ And all those racist people, at that moment, [it] gives them empowerment for a joke.”
In response to Hinchcliffe’s comment at the time, Bad Bunny posted a powerful eight-minute video on Instagram with the caption “garbage.” The clip celebrated Puerto Rico’s resilience and rich culture, showcasing both its historical and contemporary achievements.
Debí Tirar Más Fotos (which loosely translates to “I should’ve taken more photos”) follows Bunny’s 2023 project, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
His latest set features a lineup of Puerto Rican talent, including collaborations with Chuwi, Dei V, Omar Courtz, Pleneros de la Cresta and RaiNao. Bad Bunny blends traditional Afro-Puerto Rican styles like plena and jíbara with contemporary reggaetón and synths, working alongside MAG, Tainy, La Paciencia, and emerging producers Big Jay and Saox.
