Bad Bunny’s wins keep coming. Just last month, the Puerto Rican artist’s “DtMF” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his second chart topper (after “I Like It” with Cardi B and J Balvin), and the first on his own. The chart success comes after the international artist won multiple awards at this year’s Grammys, including Best Música Urbana Album, Best Global Music Performance, and the history-making Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, the first Spanish-language album to win.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out,” Bad Bunny stated during his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.”
