The Puerto Rican superstar has criticized the president's aggressive immigration enforcement.
Nov 13 (Reuters) - Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny and Argentine hip-hop duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso each won five Latin Grammy awards in Las Vegas on Thursday, cementing Bad Bunny as an industry titan while thrusting the lesser-known act into the spotlight.
Bad Bunny won album of the year for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” a tour de force mixing styles from Afro-Caribbean to salsa that netted him 12 nominations. He also won for best urban/urban fusion performance, best reggaeton performance, best urban music album, and best urban song.
The awards only burnish his reputation ahead of his wider introduction to English-speaking America and a worldwide audience as the halftime performer of the Super Bowl in February, a choice that rankled some U.S. traditionalists including President Donald Trump, who said he had never heard of Bad Bunny.
The rapidly growing Latin music sector generated a record $1.4 billion in 2024, making up 8.1% of total U.S. music revenue, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, which said it was shaping the culture faster than any other genre.
Bad Bunny, 31, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, has also received six nominations for the regular Grammys to be awarded on February 2, including for the major categories of record, song and album of the year. He was the first Latin artist to be nominated in the three major categories in the same year.
