Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (Latin American Spanish: [beˈnito anˈtonjo maɾˈtines oˈkasjo]; born March 10, 1994), known professionally as Bad Bunny (Latin American Spanish: [bað ˈβoni]), is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and record producer. Dubbed the "King of Latin Trap", Bad Bunny is credited with helping Spanish-language rap music achieve mainstream popularity worldwide. He is considered one of the best Latin rappers of all time. Born in Bayamón and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny rose to prominence in 2016 with his song "Soy Peor", 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 number nine. 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, "Dakiti", reached the top ten of the Hot 100. His fourth solo album, Un Verano Sin Ti (2022), spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard 200, was named the best-performing album of the year, and became the first Spanish-language album to be nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. He followed it with the Billboard 200 number-one albums Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023) and Debí Tirar Más Fotos (2025). In September 2025, he was announced as the headliner of the Super Bowl LX halftime show in 2026. His accolades include three Grammy Awards, seventeen Latin Grammy Awards, eight Billboard Music Awards, and thirteen Lo Nuestro Awards. He was crowned Artist of the Year by Billboard in 2022. He was the most-streamed artist on Spotify from 2020 to 2022 and 2025; he was second in 2023 and third in 2024. Outside of music, he occasionally 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.
