BAD Bunny has convinced his supporters that he’s retiring from music after he shared a post about a new ‘stage’ in his career.
The Puerto Rican musician is set to release a highly anticipated new album.
On Thursday, Bad Bunny, 30, took to his Instagram Story to share an emotional message with fans in Spanish.
“You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting and wanting this moment!! You were the first to hear this album!!!! And the first to listen to my music in general,” he wrote.
“The same one that is now heard all over the world!!! Now it’s time to finish where you started! These 3 concerts will close a stage in my career and in my life !! And it fills my soul that you are with me to live it!!”
The comment convinced some fans that the post indicated that Bad Bunny was hanging up his mic for good, retiring from music.
“#BadBunny is retiring…,” one fan posted on X, adding a crying GIF.
“Is Bad Bunny retiring?” someone else wondered.
“I [swear to god] if Bad Bunny is retiring…BENITO ONE MORE ALBUM AT LEAST MF,” a third pleaded.
LAYING LOW
While his fans anxiously await the release of new music, Bad Bunny has been laying relatively low.
He has been spotted out and about with his former girlfriend, Kendall Jenner, and it’s clear the duo is doing their best to be inconspicuous.
On May 8, The Kardashians star and her beau were seen sneaking out of the same hotel an hour apart.
The sighting came one day after the Met Gala in New York City.
Kendall and Bad Bunny both exited out of the same side door of the Greenwich Hotel at different times.
The model kept it casual in black sweatpants, a white tank top, a black cardigan, and black and white Adidas sneakers.
She hid her eyes behind sunglasses and covered her face with one hand as she made her way toward a car waiting nearby.

Kendall Jenner is the eldest of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner’s daughters and part of the Kardashian sisters. Kendall became a supermodel and regularly collaborates with her younger sister Kylie on Kylie Cosmetics. In 2021, Kendall launched her own tequila line: 818
Bad Bunny kept it similarly casual, stepping out in a black hoodie with beige pants and black sneakers.
The Monaco singer hid beneath a baseball cap pulled down over his face and pulled a hood up over that.
Kendall and Bad Bunny were spotted together at the Aprés Met 2 Met Gala afterparty the night before.
They chatted and laughed as they sat close together with two other friends.
Kendall had a cocktail in her hand and looked to be in good spirits.
The couple called it quits in December 2023 after less than a year together.
They “reconnected” after spending New Year’s Eve together in the Caribbean.
“They are very different people and nobody ever saw their relationship going the distance, but they have a lot of fun together and missed each other since the split,” a source told The U.S. Sun exclusively in January.
ALL-TIME LOW
News of their rekindled romance comes after it was reported that Bad Bunny’s Most Wanted tour kicked off with less-than-ideal attendance.
The reggaeton singer struggled to fill stadiums, with fans attributing the decline in popularity to the Kardashian curse.
The Kardashian curse is a theory that the men romantically linked to the famous family struggle.
Bad Bunny’s tour was set to kick off in Utah on February 21 and finish in Florida on May 26.
Unfortunately, hundreds of tickets went “unsold” according to We Are Mitu.
“The Kardashian curse strikes again,” one critic wrote on Reddit, sharing a link to the article.
“Haaaaay Benito. We warned you about [Kendall] … but you didn’t listen,” another fan wrote.
“This is wild. He literally had one of the highest grossing tours of 2022. What a fall from grace. He used Kendall just as much as she was using him and got a terrible payoff lol,” a third person posted.
“What little appeal he had was gone the moment he sold out to be with one of the Kardashians,” someone else posted.
“It’s probably Kim’s doing… He went from sold out to tapped out…” a fourth person posted, blaming Kim Kardashian.
