Bad Bunny Shares Cryptic Instagram Message as Tourists in Puerto Rico Go Viral for Allegedly Killing Endangered Coquís
Some tourists went viral on Reddit after bragging about silencing Puerto Rico's iconic coquí frogs The post sparked backlash, with Puerto Ricans calling the act disrespectful to the island's culture and wildlife Bad Bunny responded on Instagram, amplifying the coquí's croak as a subtle but powerful defense of his home, Puerto RicoBad Bunny is once again using his platform to speak out for Puerto Rico, this time not just through his lyrics but through his actions and love for the island. On Wednesday, May 28, the global superstar, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio, shared a cryptic message on Instagram Stories, which many took as a response to a growing controversy about the coquí, Puerto Rico's iconic little frog with the big voice. As per mitú, Bad Bunny posted a black screen with a drawn-out version of his song 'Qué Le Pasó a Hawaii' from his latest album Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, that featured the croak of the coquí turned way up. It all started when a Reddit post on the r/PuertoRicoTravel subreddit went viral. A tourist at a restaurant in Condado was reportedly overheard bragging about spraying something at their Airbnb to quiet the coquís. The coquís' nightly song is considered one of the island's most cherished and recognizable sounds. Puerto Rican content creators quickly pushed back, calling the move disrespectful to both local culture and native wildlife. Many locals called out the harmful action in the comments, writing: 'If you don't like the coquí, maybe Puerto Rico isn't the place for you.' Beyond being annoying to a few tourists, this issue touches on something much more serious. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 'Any person that injures, captures, or kills a Coquí guajón destroy its eggs, and/or modify its critical habitat is subject to penalties under Federal law.' Though the Coquí guajón is one species, the common coquí is found everywhere on the island. Nonetheless, their protection matters to both conservationists and island residents. For Bad Bunny, his Story wasn't just about frogs: It was about respect for the island, its culture and the people who live there. He's been sounding that alarm for a while now with Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, specifically his song 'Qué Le Pasó a Hawaii,' which warns against Puerto Rico following in Hawaii's footsteps with over-tourism and outside investments that in his eyes, have chipped away at Puerto Rico's identity. In the song, he sings, 'They want to take the river and the beach away from me ... They want my neighborhood and my grandma gone.' Throughout the track, the coquí's croak echoes briefly in the background. Alongside the album, he released a short film, which was a visual love letter to Puerto Rico.

It features 'Toad Concho,' a frog mascot that's part playful character and part symbol for the island's vulnerable wildlife. Like the song, the film reinforces what's at stake. For many Puerto Ricans, the coquí isn't just a frog; it's home. And with one simple Instagram post, Bad Bunny managed to remind the world of that. Read the original article on People

Spain probes ticket fees for Bad Bunny concerts
Spain's consumer affairs ministry said Wednesday it has opened a probe into the service fees charged during the sale of tickets for reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny's 2026 concerts in the country. The investigation focuses on "potential irregularities in the sale of tickets for concerts in Spain by a well-known international artist", the ministry said in a statement. A source close to the matter confirmed to AFP that the artist in question is Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, one of the biggest global music stars. Originally scheduled to perform three shows in Spain -- two in Madrid and one in Barcelona -- Bad Bunny later added nine more dates across the two cities, selling a total of 600,000 tickets in less than 24 hours through ticketing platforms. The ministry, which did not name the company under investigation, said it is looking into a major ticket sales and resale firm following consumer complaints about "possible illegal surcharges". Consumer advocacy groups reported being charged undisclosed or poorly explained fees during checkout, with some citing a lack of transparency, prior notice, or adequate justification. "If confirmed, these practices could constitute a violation of consumer protection laws," the ministry said, adding that it aims to determine whether the service fees comply with "legal requirements on clarity, justification, and proportionality". As part of a world tour following the release of his sixth album, "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos" -- which pays homage to Puerto Rico's rich rhythms like plena and sala -- Bad Bunny is set to perform two concerts in Barcelona and 10 in Madrid in May and June 2026. mig/ds/imm/rl

Bad Bunny Returning to ‘Saturday Night Live' as Musical Guest After Benson Boone's Debut
Bad Bunny is hopping back over to 30 Rock to make his grand return to Saturday Night Live, with the show announcing Thursday (April 24) that the Puerto Rican rapper will perform on its season-ender episode following a musical guest debut from Benson Boone two weeks prior. SNL's 50th season will officially wrap May 17 with an episode hosted by Scarlett Johansson — which, if 2024's viral Christmas joke swap is any indication, will make for a very interesting Weekend Update which is co-anchored by the Black Widow star's husband, Colin Jost. Benito is locked in to serve as the finale's musical guest, with the episode airing a little over a year and a half after he pulled double duty on the show in October 2023 — and about four months after Bunny dropped his Billboard 200-topping LP Debi Tirar Mas Fotos.

Concert: 'F--ing Proud to Be Part of the LGBT Community' Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell Tells Son Baylee He'll 'Always Be in Your Corner' After 'American Idol' Exit Amid one of the last weekends counting down to the show's triumphant season 50 ending, 'Beautiful Things' singer Boone will perform on SNL for the first time ever May 3, potentially adding Studio 8H to his list of stages on which he's showed off one of his signature backflips. The Quinta Brunson-helmed episode will come a couple months ahead of the release of Boone's sophomore album, American Heart, on June 20. The week between Bunny and Boone's episodes, Arcade Fire will serve as the musical guest as White Lotus star Walton Goggins makes his hosting debut May 10. The members of the 'Reflektor' band — who announced new album Pink Elephant on April 8 — are seasoned SNL veterans at this point, performing on the show six times so far since 2007. The group's most recent appearance was in May 2022. The final trio of episodes will close out a celebration-filled 50th season for SNL, which marked its anniversary with both an SNL50 homecoming concert and a live TV special in February. Premiering in September, this installment of the show has seen everyone from Ariana Grande to John Mulaney, Charli xcx, Timothée Chalamet and Lady Gaga host, while Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Tate McRae, GloRilla, Shaboozey, Gracie Abrams, Hozier and more stars perform as musical guests. SNL airs Saturday nights on NBC and streams live on Peacock.
