Bad Bunny Is On The Rolling Stone Cover People By: Paloma Lenz

This makes Bad Bunny, 26, the magazine’s first-ever Latino urban artist to grace its cover. And rightfully so after a meteoric rise to fame. In just four short years, Bad Bunny finds himself with two best-selling albums this year – his most recent drop, “Las Que No Iban a Salir” debuted at #1 on Apple, making him the first-ever Latino to earn the top spot – top rankings on YouTube and Spotify, and 8 songs in the Top 50 charts.
Due to the current circumstances of the world as we navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, Bad Bunny finds himself on lockdown in Puerto Rico with his longtime girlfriend Gabriela Berlingeri, a jewelry designer, and cover photo photographer. Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio and his girlfriend are holed up in a modest, stucco-walled AirBnB on the island. The couple works out, watches a ton of movies, lounges on the roof, and take sexy selfies of themselves. In other words, the Latin superstar’s quarantine looks very similar to our own.

But Martinez hasn’t been completely idle. On Mother’s Day, he released Las Que No Iban a Salir, a collection of 10 tracks that were scrapped from his second album Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana (“I Do Whatever I Want”). The latest tracks include guest verses from reggaeton veterans Nicky Jam and Don Omar who recorded guest vocals from their homes.

“There was no real meaning behind it,” Martinez says of the album. “I just thought, ‘Damn. What people need is entertainment.’”
And he couldn’t be more right about that!

Felicidades a Bad Bunny!
