Today we learned why Bad Bunny missed Sunday night’s planned performance at the American Music Awards. The reggaeton star’s rep said today that he has tested positive for Covid-19.
The Puerto Rican rapper, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio, had been scheduled to perform “Dákiti” — the international hit single he recorded with Jhay Cortez — during the trophy show but canceled without offering an explanation. Bad Bunny’s publicist Sujeylee Solá told the Associated Press that he isn’t showing any symptoms of Covid yet.
Bad Bunny might have been absent from the show, but that didn’t stop him from collecting a pair of wins, for Favorite Male Artist – Latino and Favorite Latin Album – Latino — which he accepted virtually from his Los Angeles home.
The rapper debuted at No. 2 the Billboard 200 album chart with his February release Yhlqmdlg, a Spanish acronym that translates to “I Do What I Want.
