Meet multi-talented performer Bad Bunny—once just a kid called Benito from the Almirante Sur barrio of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. The oldest of three brothers, Benito grew up in a family that valued music, charity, and being true to oneself—beliefs he carries with him to this day. Following his rise to fame in 2017, Bad Bunny was recognized as the King of Latin Trap and became the first non-English-language act to be one of the world's most-streamed artists. Following memorable appearances on Saturday Night Live, roles on films like Happy Gilmore 2, and a historical residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, Bad Bunny has become a household name and an emblem of his generation.
