Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny won big at the Grammys last Sunday after taking home Album of the Year for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.”

2025 was a great year for the rapper and singer. Aside from DtMF’s album drop, he opened a historic residency in Puerto Rico called “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,” playing 31 shows and contributing in no small part to a record year for tourism on the island.

And now, he’s preparing to play the NFL’s Super Bowl Halftime Show this Sunday. That’s despite outcries from the right over the singer’s repeated criticisms of the Trump administration and ICE. But that should come as no surprise. The reguetonero has always been outspoken when it comes to his political views, especially as they relate to his home in the Caribbean.

We dive into his work and his cultural impact.
