Bad Bunny, dedication in focus of controversy

Bad Bunny. An “only child” since he was born. The one who “played with his CDs instead of with toys.” The one that “everyone adored.” There is no better description Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio but his brother Bernie for Rolling Stone.

Maybe that name, Benito, doesn’t ring a bell. But he, long before he was Bad Bunny, was just Benito. SB, as well as his brothers, Bernie and Bysael. He, Benito, is the oldest. He was born on March 10, 1994 in South Admiral (Puerto Rico), and grew up in Vega Baja.

And Benito, who “wasn’t one of the kids who liked to be on the street,” as he also explained to Rolling Stone, soon realized what his calling was. He wasn’t supposed to be an engineer, as his mother wanted him to be. It was not to be A baseball player, as his father would have wanted. Nor firefighteras his teacher told him.

No, because what Benito wanted… was to be Bad Bunny.

And the Puerto Rican has “loved music all his life,” as he explained to UrbanoVideosTV.
