Bad Bunny has again captured the world’s attention with his latest album, “Nadie Sabe lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana” (Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow). This album, released to widespread acclaim, is an urban musical masterpiece and a platform for Bad Bunny to express his views on contemporary culture and society. One of the notable features of this production is his references to globally recognized figures like Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and Shakira, which have sparked intrigue and fascination among his fans.
The “ Los Pits” track acknowledges one of Shakira’s viral quotes plus her influence and impact. Bad Bunny delivers a line that has raised eyebrows and generated discussions. He boldly proclaims, “Bad Bunny en la cima, se tienen que acostumbrar. Ahora los hombres lloran, sí, pero sin parar de facturar,” which translates to “Bad Bunny at the top, they have to get used to it. Now men cry, yes, but they keep making money non-stop.”
This lyric is a clear nod to Shakira, who had previously set the trend during her 53rd session with Bizarrap by stating, “Las mujeres ya no lloran, las mujeres facturan,” or “Women don’t cry anymore, women make money.”
This lyrical exchange between the renowned Puerto Rican artist and the Colombian award winner highlights the evolving dynamics of gender roles and expectations, with both artists asserting that emotions and success are not limited by gender.
Bad Bunny’s inclusion of Lionel Messi and LeBron James in his album further underlines his ability to seamlessly weave contemporary cultural references into his music. The album serves as a reminder that music can be a powerful medium to engage with and comment on the world’s ongoing changes.
In “Nadie Sabe lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana,” it becomes apparent that Bad Bunny’s talent extends far beyond music. He’s not just an artist but also a cultural commentator who uses his music to challenge norms, provoke thought, and celebrate the achievements of figures who have left an indelible mark on the world.
