Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny is making headlines this week for taking his influence beyond music and into the world of video games. Rockstar Games has revealed that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio will co-host Cocoteo FM in Grand Theft Auto VI alongside fellow Puerto Rican artist RaiNao. In the game, they will appear as El Martillo and La Gata, presenting a station focused on bachata, merengue, dembow and reggaeton.

Rolling Stone reports that Cocoteo FM is one of six featured stations announced for Grand Theft Auto VI, whose fictional city of Leonida is inspired by Florida. Players will also hear Bad Bunny’s song EoO on the station, alongside music from artists including Axel Rulay, Farruko, El Alfa and Romeo Santos. Rockstar has made previews of the stations available through the official Grand Theft Auto website.

The announcement adds another major entertainment credit to Bad Bunny’s expanding résumé. He has already appeared in films, professional wrestling storylines and major live events, and now his voice will help shape one of the year’s most anticipated video-game experiences. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, with a companion album featuring 34 original tracks arriving the same day.

The news has also generated plenty of conversation across social media and entertainment coverage, particularly because Bad Bunny’s role is not limited to contributing a song. He and RaiNao will serve as recognizable personalities guiding players through the Latin music station, giving Puerto Rican and broader Caribbean sounds a prominent place in the game’s world.

Another story circulating this week comes from wrestling coverage. A viral video showed Ric Flair jokingly claiming that he helped make Bad Bunny, referring to their past collaboration on Chambea. The remark has been treated largely as vintage Flair showmanship rather than a serious dispute, but it has renewed attention on Bad Bunny’s long relationship with wrestling and his willingness to cross into different forms of popular culture.

Music-industry coverage has also noted continued commercial strength for Bad Bunny’s album Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Italian certification reports say the project has earned a fifth platinum certification there, following his recent performances in Italy.

For now, the clearest current development is Bad Bunny’s arrival on the airwaves of Grand Theft Auto VI, where listeners and players will hear him not only as a recording artist, but also as a fictional radio host representing modern Latin music.

Bad Bunny is back in the news this week after a video of him wearing a shirt marked with the number 13 spread across Brazilian social media during the country’s October 4 presidential election. The footage was widely interpreted as a possible show of support for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whose ballot number is 13.

Fact-checkers at Metrópoles and NC News report that the video was not recorded during the election period. It was filmed on August 10, 2025, during Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos concert at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. The singer did wear the shirt, but there is no evidence that it was connected to Brazil’s election. The episode has renewed attention on Bad Bunny’s earlier association with Lula’s campaign, which received authorization to use an adapted Portuguese version of his song Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii in a September campaign advertisement.

Music listeners are also seeing continued momentum for Bad Bunny’s catalog. Billboard 200 figures reported by Creative Disc place Debí Tirar Más Fotos at number 22 for the week ending October 3, while Un Verano Sin Ti remains on the chart at number 50. The sustained presence of both albums highlights the continuing reach of his Puerto Rican-centered music.

In fashion news, Nice Kicks and Men’s Journal report that the next Bad Bunny and Adidas collaboration will be the Gazelle Indoor Solar Gold. The bright yellow-and-black sneaker is scheduled for release October 17 at a retail price of 140 dollars through Adidas and selected retailers. The shoe extends the artist’s ongoing partnership with the brand and follows several recent Bad Bunny footwear releases.

Wrestling fans also received a new Bad Bunny story this week. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said on his Hall of Fame podcast, as reported by Fightful, that he was once considered as Bad Bunny’s tag-team partner for WrestleMania 37. The plan ultimately changed, and Damian Priest teamed with Bad Bunny instead. Booker T did not disclose why the original idea was dropped.

Bad Bunny’s influence remains visible beyond music. A report from Patch says costumes inspired by his Super Bowl halftime performance are among Halloween trends this year, including the grass-covered performers used to represent Puerto Rican fields. The show’s imagery continues to circulate online months after the performance.

For now, the most important update is the clarification around the viral election video: the footage is authentic, but its connection to Brazil’s 2026 vote is false.

Bad Bunny is back in the headlines after winning Best Latin at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards for NUEVAYoL. The award was announced after the September 27 ceremony at Los Angeles’s Peacock Theater, but the Puerto Rican superstar was not there to accept it. Neither Bad Bunny nor MTV has publicly explained his absence, and his social media accounts have not addressed the win.

NUEVAYoL opens his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, a project centered on Puerto Rican identity, nostalgia, and cultural traditions. The song’s title reflects Puerto Rican pronunciation, turning Nueva York into NUEVAYoL. Bad Bunny defeated nominees including Anitta and Shakira’s Choka Choka, Karol G’s Papasito, Rosalía’s La Perla, and collaborations involving Ryan Castro, Kapo, Fuerza Regida, Burna Boy, and others.

The victory adds another major international honor to a period of continued success for Bad Bunny. Reports this week noted that he remains one of Spotify’s most-streamed artists, with more than 94 million monthly listeners. His recent awards momentum follows three Grammy wins earlier this year and recognition connected to his Super Bowl halftime performance.

Bad Bunny has also become part of Brazil’s election conversation. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s campaign released a Portuguese adaptation of Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii, a song about Puerto Rico’s identity and political history. The campaign used the adaptation to argue for Brazilian sovereignty amid tensions involving the United States and President Donald Trump. Reports differ on whether Bad Bunny’s team authorized the use: one account says permission was granted, while another cites an unnamed Workers’ Party source claiming that authorization was not provided. Bad Bunny’s press office has not publicly clarified the matter.

A video circulating in Brazil this week also appeared to show Bad Bunny wearing a shirt with the number 13, which some users connected to Lula’s ballot number. Fact-checkers reported that the footage was actually recorded in Puerto Rico in August 2025, during his Debí Tirar Más Fotos tour, and was not a new political appearance. Other social media posts claimed he wore the shirt at a recent event in New York, but those reports remain less clearly verified.

For now, the clearest development is another major award for Bad Bunny, while his music continues to drive conversations about Puerto Rican culture, Latin identity, and political independence.

Bad Bunny has had a busy week, with new recognition, political attention, legal developments, and another major fashion collaboration making headlines.

At the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Bad Bunny won Best Latin for “NUEVAYoL,” a track from his Puerto Rican-focused album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. He was not at the ceremony, and has not publicly explained his absence. The award follows a highly successful world tour that ended with additional performances in San Juan in August.

The song’s celebration of New York’s Puerto Rican identity has also helped keep Bad Bunny’s broader cultural message in the spotlight. The album blends contemporary urbano with salsa, plena, bolero, and jíbaro influences, and “NUEVAYoL” incorporates elements associated with classic Puerto Rican music.

Another major story involves Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. His campaign released a Portuguese adaptation of Bad Bunny’s “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” in a video promoting Brazilian sovereignty and criticizing outside pressure from the United States. The rewritten lyrics refer to rivers, beaches, and rare-earth minerals. Agence France-Presse reported that the campaign version had attracted nearly seven million social-media views.

There is conflicting reporting over authorization. TVT News said Bad Bunny’s team authorized the use, while AFP reported that a Workers’ Party source said the artist had not granted rights. Bad Bunny himself has not been publicly reported as endorsing Lula’s campaign. The original song examines cultural displacement, gentrification, tourism, and the fear that Puerto Rico could lose control of its identity and territory.

In legal news, Digital Music News reports that the long-running “Frankenstein” reggaeton copyright case is continuing. Plaintiffs are asking a judge to reconsider a ruling that favored Bad Bunny on part of the dispute. A hearing on that request is tentatively expected in late October.

Fashion followers are also watching Bad Bunny’s ongoing partnership with Adidas. Design Scene reports that a new Gazelle Indoor “Solar Gold” colorway is expected in October, with a reported retail price of 140 dollars. The bright yellow-and-black design follows other recent releases, including Badbo models that arrived in late September.

Bad Bunny’s influence therefore remains visible across music, politics, entertainment law, and fashion, even as he appears to be taking time away from the spotlight after his tour.

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known worldwide as Bad Bunny, made headlines this week after authorizing Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s reelection campaign to adapt his song “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.” The campaign released a Portuguese version on social media, reshaping the song’s themes of cultural identity, territory, and foreign influence into a message about Brazilian sovereignty and criticism of outside political pressure. The artist’s team confirmed that permission was granted, although the recording is not performed by Bad Bunny.

The use of the song follows Lula’s speech at the United Nations, where he criticized foreign interference and defended national self-determination. Brazilian outlets G1 and EFE reported that the campaign’s adaptation also targets opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his relationship with the United States. The development has drawn attention because a song rooted in Puerto Rican history and concerns about displacement is now being used in a major Brazilian election.

Bad Bunny also reached another major streaming milestone. According to Dork, “VeLDÁ,” his collaboration with Dei V and Omar Courtz, surpassed one billion Spotify streams this week. It became Bad Bunny’s 36th song to reach Spotify’s Billions Club, extending his lead over The Weeknd, who has 31 billion-streaming tracks. The milestone is also the first for both Dei V and Omar Courtz.

In legal news, the long-running copyright case involving what plaintiffs call “Frankenstein” reggaeton is continuing. Digital Music News reports that the plaintiffs are asking a judge to reconsider a ruling that favored Bad Bunny and other defendants. A hearing on the reconsideration request is tentatively expected in late October, so the dispute remains active rather than resolved.

Fashion fans also had a new release to follow. Bad Bunny and Adidas launched two Badbo models on September 26: the navy Badbo 1.0, priced at 160 dollars, and the lower-cut Badbo 1.1 in chalk white, priced at 120 dollars. Complex and Men’s Journal reported that the shoes were released through Adidas and Complex, with the 1.1 receiving an app-focused release in the United States.

That combination of political influence, streaming success, an ongoing legal battle, and another Adidas launch keeps Bad Bunny at the center of music and popular culture this week.
