Donald Trump and Bad Bunny’s ‘beef’ explained
Bad Bunny has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and his policies over the years, particularly regarding immigration and his native Puerto Rico. Let’s take a look at where it all began…
Hurricane Maria devastates Puerto Rico
In 2017, the federal government faced backlash for its slow and disorganised response to the aftermath of the storm, which caused widespread destruction, power outages and thousands of deaths.
During a benefit concert, Bad Bunny donned a T-shirt reading ‘¿Eres Twittero o Presidente?’ which translates to ‘Are You a Tweeter or President?’
Seven years later, he released the track ‘Una Velita’, which appeared to hit out at the Trump administration’s handling of the disaster.
The translated lyrics say: “They let 5,000 people die / And we will never forget that.”
Bad Bunny endorses Kamala Harris
During the run-up to the 2024 US election, Bad Bunny showed his support for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
The musician posted a clip of the vice president’s plans for Puerto Rico not long after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe referred to the territory as a ‘floating island of garbage’ at a Trump rally.
A Trump campaign spokesperson later said: “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

In the music video for ‘NUEVAYoL’, released on the Fourth of July last year, Bad Bunny appeared to take a not-so-subtle swipe at the US president.
