Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (born March 10, 1994), known professionally as Bad Bunny, is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, actor, and record producer.[5] Known as the "King of Latin Trap", Bad Bunny is credited with helping Spanish-language rap music achieve mainstream popularity in the worldwide market.[6] He became the first non-English language act to be Spotify's most streamed artist of the year, doing so three consecutive times in 2020–2022, and also holds the most-streamed album on Spotify with his album Un Verano Sin Ti (2022).
Born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny rose to prominence in 2016 with his song "Diles", which led to a recording contract with Hear This Music. He continued gaining traction with songs such as his feature on Cardi B's Billboard Hot 100 number-one single "I Like It" alongside J Balvin and his top-ten single "Mía" featuring Drake. Bad Bunny's debut studio album, X 100pre (2018), peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard 200, while his collaborative album with J Balvin, Oasis (2019), reached the top ten. His second solo album, YHLQMDLG (2020), became the highest-charting all-Spanish album to appear on the Billboard 200 at the time at number two, and was followed by the compilation album Las que no iban a salir (2020).
El Último Tour Del Mundo (2020), Bad Bunny's third solo album, became the first all-Spanish language album to top the Billboard 200, while its lead single, "Dákiti", reached the top ten of the Hot 100. His fourth solo album, Un Verano Sin Ti, spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and was named the best-performing album of the year in the US and globally. It spawned various commercially successful singles and became the first Spanish-language album to be nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. He followed it with the albums Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023), which topped the Billboard 200, and Debí Tirar Más Fotos (2025). 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 Billboard in 2022. As of April 2024[update], Bad Bunny has sold over seven million records worldwide.[7]
Outside of music, he performs in professional wrestling. Bad Bunny 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.
