Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio on March 10, 1994, in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, is a prominent figure in Latin trap and reggaeton music. He was raised in a modest household alongside his two younger brothers. From an early age, Bad Bunny displayed a passion for music, aspiring to become a singer as young as five.
He pursued higher education at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo, where he studied audiovisual communication. During this time, he worked as a supermarket bagger at Econo, balancing his job with his growing interest in music production.
While attending university, Bad Bunny began independently releasing music on SoundCloud. His early songs, including “Diles” and “Soy Peor,” drew widespread attention on the platform, laying the groundwork for his rise in the Latin trap genre. “Soy Peor” notably reached number 22 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, marking his initial breakthrough on the mainstream music scene.
In 2017, Bad Bunny signed a booking deal with Cárdenas Marketing Network (CMN), enabling international performance opportunities across Latin America. That same year, he also gained increased recognition through collaborations with high-profile artists.
Rolling Stone described his musical style as possessing a "conversational tone" with "a low, slurry delivery, catchy melodies, and a rapper's cadence." His unique sound and socially aware lyrics differentiated him in the burgeoning Latin trap movement.
In October 2018, Bad Bunny collaborated with Canadian artist Drake on the hit single “MIA,” which further propelled him to international fame. On December 24, 2018, he released his official debut album, X 100pre, to critical and commercial acclaim. The album reinforced his versatility and solidified his status as a leading voice in Latin urban music.
As of the most recent public information, Bad Bunny is not married and does not have a publicly confirmed wife. He has been linked to model and jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri, and the two have occasionally shared glimpses of their relationship on social media. However, they have maintained a level of privacy surrounding the details of their personal lives.
