In one passage, Bad Bunny appears to address the president directly, rapping, “And mherfing president that doesn’t do s**, Black Lives Matter, and may Kobe rest in peace, 2020 and the racism is worse than COVID.”

Later in the same section, he adds, “A black person with a gun is automatically a criminal, but a white person has one and say it’s a hobby.”

The song also touches on civic engagement and encourages young people to speak out and vote, reinforcing its broader social commentary.

Bad Bunny’s past criticism of ICE and immigration enforcement

Bad Bunny has been an outspoken critic of ICE. In June of last year, he called out ICE officers in Puerto Rico through an Instagram story showing agents escorting people into unmarked vehicles on Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina.

Most recently, during his Grammy Awards acceptance speech earlier this month, Bad Bunny again criticized immigration enforcement and delivered an “ICE out” message, saying, “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."

The remarks added to ongoing debate over his political messaging as he prepares to take one of the biggest stages in American entertainment.
