Bad bunny

Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti was a runaway success: named by music data firm Luminate as the United States' most popular album in 2022, it racked up 3.4 million equivalent album units in sales and earned the artist a Grammy Award for Best Música Urbana Album.

Those familiar with the release might recall a female voice saying the words "Bad Bunny, baby" during the intro to "Dos Mil 16". What listeners may not have realized, though, is that this is the voice of Bad Bunny's ex-girlfriend Carliz De La Cruz Hernández, recorded in a voice memo on her phone.
