Transcript excerpt

Hi. I was hoping you could help me with something, and this is kind of embarrassing. So my friends want me to throw a Bad Bunny themed Super Bowl party, but I don't know who that is. Wow. Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, also known as or Bad Bunny, was born and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico and declared a stage name after coming across a photo from his childhood where he was clearly annoyed about wearing a bunny costume. Benito was raised by his mom and dad and has two brothers. His mom is a retired teacher and his dad was a truck driver. As an avid churchgoer, Benito's mom encouraged him to join the church choir, which had a huge impact on his musical career and has shared memories about listening to his mom's favorite artist, Hector Laboe and Juan Gabriel, as a kid, but then escaping to his room to listen to artists like Daddy Yankee, Entegolcad Delon, and Dicos. His career started when he began posting music on SoundCloud around 2016.
