When Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny landed in Sydney for his debut Australian tour, the first cafe he was spotted at lived up to his name. The Rusty Rabbit cafe in Darlinghurst – which Bad Bunny visited on Thursday – is known for their ricotta pancakes and also their team, the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
But Bad Bunny – real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio – hasn’t always had a favourable relationship with the furry creature. In a 2020 interview with Jimmy Fallon, Ocasio described how he was forced to wear a bunny costume to school for Easter. He told Fallon this is where his name came from, pointing to a picture of himself as a child in the costume and saying: “I don’t look mad, but I remember I was mad.”
