base talk Bad Bunny - what went wrong?

[alestevens]

He used to be Latin America's most reliable hitmaker, making huge splashes even in the US where he was most definitely a mainstream act at some point.

 

Fast forward to 2025, and all his pre-release tracks from the album he's literally about to release are underperforming on Spotify and making 0 noise on social media.

 

What went wrong?

[Devin]

what went wrong is yall hyped this man like hes on 2010s drake/rihanna level. when in reality, hes an above average latin rapper that queerbaits and has a corny personality. 

 

[Erotic]

 

 

[UnusualBoy]

He got way too far considering how talentless he is.

Don't let anyone silence you  

[Tusk]

He went Hollywood

[OBEY]

Overexposed and too many songs, didn't he just release 2 albums? 

[Rush]

[Apostolis]

he queerbaited too much 

[50thStateofMind]

maybe I live in a bubble but I cannot name one song by this man

[Feanor]

I think we should wait and see how his album actually does to come to a final conclusion.

[BnPac]

Maybe his fanbase abandoned him after he got with a Kardashian? 

 

Still even his last album that was considered a flop is hugely successful and amassed a lot of streams.

Honestly the Kardashian thing ruined what was cool about him.... He basically sings only about their lifestyle now

[Cheers]

He got too cocky and his actions started being the opposite of the image his team was trying to paint him as

 

But lets see how the new album does. If he has some bops he might return.

[Popboi.]

The new songs are unlistenable

Honestly this

[Park Jinyoung]

but people said this about his last album

[unclefloprry]

btw he has the second biggest Latin song on Spotify right now    (#22 Overall)

[Spicy Pisces]

the Kardashian curse

 

Edit: no but fr his association to them alienated people and gave him the look of a social climber sellout

Bad Bunny can fill stadiums on Drake's region while Drake can't even fill a festival in Latinamerica.

It's true that a few things ruined his image a bit, but i don't think that's the main reason.. as a casual listener of him, his two previus albums had some bops. His last album was boring and not catchy enough so he lost his "pop" appeal.  Un verano sin ti felt fresh
