Read about Bad Bunny and his astronomical rise to fame as the King of Latin Trap. Known as Benito to his friends, this multi-talented artist is among the most groundbreaking and iconic Latinx heroes to have shaped our culture and the world. Learn more in this engaging biography featuring black-and-white illustrations!

Meet multi-talented performer Bad Bunny--once just a kid called Benito from the Almirante Sur barrio of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. The oldest of three brothers, Benito grew up in a family that valued music, charity, and being true to oneself--beliefs he carries with him to this day. Following his rise to fame in 2017, Bad Bunny was recognized as the King of Latin Trap and became the first non-English-language act to be one of the world's most-streamed artists. Following memorable appearances on Saturday Night Live, roles on films like Happy Gilmore 2, and a historical residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, Bad Bunny has become a household name and an emblem of his generation.
