Bad Bunny admitted that the songs on his latest album are not necessarily about specific people he has dated — but they could be.
“I have written songs inspired by people that people don’t have a f—ing clue who they are,” Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), 30, said in an interview with Time published on Sunday, January 5. “The meaning of the song can vary in many things, like the absence of a person who is no longer with you, or a love. But it can be many other things too, that are no longer there.”
In particular, the album’s titular song “DtMF” deals with feelings of regret over a relationship, while also trying to make peace with its ending. (The title of Bad Bunny’s latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, translates to I Should Have Taken More Photos.) Many fans of the Puerto Rican singer have assumed the break up song is about his recent ex, model and reality television star Kendall Jenner.
Bad Bunny and Jenner, 28, were first romantically linked in February 2023 when they were spotted on a date in Beverly Hills. The pair later attended the Met Gala in May that same year. Until their split in December 2023 after less than a year of dating, the pair largely kept their romance out of the public eye.
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny sparked a brief romance following her split from Devin Booker. Jenner was seen with the rapper — whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — for the first time in February 2023 when they were photographed leaving Wally’s in Beverly Hills. The following month, Jenner and Bad Bunny were […]
“I know something is going to come out,” he told Rolling Stone at the time. “I know [people are] going to say something. People know everything about me, so what’s left for me to protect? My private life, my personal life.”
While the couple later wound up cozying up for a June 2024 date night in Paris, a source exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly in September that Jenner “decided she wanted space” and the pair were no longer an item.
“They’re still friendly but have taken a step back and aren’t dating,” the source exclusively told Us at the time.
A separate source previously told Us that Jenner was not interested in another serious relationship, saying, “She wants to stay single for now. Kendall isn’t ready to be tied down at the moment and is enjoying this era.”
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny have started seeing one another again after their recent split, which did not come as a shock to her inner circle. “Kendall’s friends aren’t surprised whatsoever that she’s seeing Bad Bunny again. They figured this would happen because she has a habit of going back to exes,” a source exclusively […]
While his latest album explores aspects of romantic love, Bad Bunny told Time that Debí Tirar is also a tribute to his home island of Puerto Rico.
“At times you are perhaps a little nostalgic, a little sentimental… But at the same time, you are enjoying other things: playing dominoes with grandparents or with the family,” he said. “Since we are also in Puerto Rico, we are at home, we are with the group: That is a reason to be happy, to be content.”
