Rapper. Singer. Actor. Wrestler. Fashion icon. All-round good guy. It's official: the biggest Latin trap star in the world in 2025 is... Bad Bunny!
Since gliding stylishly out of Puerto Rico in 2018, he's redefined Latin music globally, credited with pushing Spanish-language rap into the mainstream.
His 2022 smash album
Un Verano Sin Ti ruled the US Billboard charts for 13 weeks - the first all-Spanish album to do so. With three Grammy awards, eleven Latin Grammy Awards and eight Billboard Music Awards, his collection of accolades and other staggering statistics speak for themselves.
Unapologetically authentic, genre-bending, and proudly Puerto Rican, Bad Bunny has become more than just a star and cultural icon, he's the undisputed King of Latin Trap.
It's Bad Bunny, baby!
