With the release of his sixth studio album ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos’, Puerto Rican singer and songwriter Bad Bunny is reflecting on his homeland.

Bad Bunny’s latest album arrived on Sunday the 5th of January 2025. The power-packed and well-crafted studio project celebrates the culture and history of his native island.

“I am Puerto Rican, I am Caribbean, and my music, my culture, my country’s history run through my veins, from plena to reggaetón,” Bad Bunny said in a press release. “At the peak of my career and popularity, I want to show the world who I am, who BENITO ANTONIO is, and who PUERTO RICO is.”

 The singer shared his views on wealthy foreigners moving to Puerto Rico in a Time interview published on January 5.

“Politically and historically, they know nothing about Puerto Rico, nor are they interested in knowing,” the rapper said. “They don’t even know that Puerto Ricans on the island don’t even vote for the president, but they do know that they can go to the island to legally evade taxes. That’s something that shocked me.”

 “Tourists come here to enjoy the beautiful places, and then they leave and they don’t have to deal with the problems that Puerto Ricans have to deal with day-to-day,” added Bunny.

 Bad Bunny also in the interview addressed comedian/podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” during a Donald Trump rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden in October 2025.

“I consider myself a person who to a certain point likes dark humor,” he told Time. “But the detail was that it was not a standard comedy nor a comedy show, it was a political rally.”

“Most people don’t know who the f— you are,” the rapper aded, referring to Hinchcliffe. “They’re going to assume that you’re a politician at a political rally. So that awakens people who may be there and think the same as you, and say ‘Yes, Puerto Rico [is]….’ And all those racist people, at that moment, [it] gives them empowerment for a joke.”

 Responding emotionally to Hinchcliffe’s comment at the time, Bad Bunny posted a powerful eight-minute video on Instagram with the caption “garbage.” The clip celebrated Puerto Rico’s resilience and rich culture, showcasing both its historical and contemporary achievements.
