Bad Bunny threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, sharing a video of the Democratic presidential candidate shortly after a the comedian at Donald Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden made crude jokes about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash,” angering artists and some Hispanic Republicans.

The bad bunnywhose official name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most famous artists of the moment.

The video, which Bad Bunny shared with his 45 million Instagram followers, shows Harris saying “there is so much at stake in this election for the voters of Puerto Rico and for Puerto Rico.” A representative for the artist confirmed that Bad Bunny is endorsing Harris.

Bad Bunny signaled his supportive moments after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made the remarks about Puerto Rico. Hinchcliffe later said “these Latin Americans, they like having babies” and said they don’t use withdrawal birth control.

The comments about Puerto Rico were immediately criticized by Harris’ campaign, but were also contested by Angel Cintron, the island’s GOP chief, and Republican U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazarwhich represents parts of Miami and has attended recent Trump events.

Salazar wrote: “Disgusted by @TonyHinchcliffe’s racist comment calling Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of trash.’ This rhetoric does not reflect GOP values. Puerto Rico sent more than 48,000 troops to Vietnam, with more than 345 Purple Hearts awarded. This bravery deserves respect. Educate yourselves!”

Trump campaign spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez said in a statement that “this joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

Luis Fonsia Puerto Rican artist who sings the hit “Despacito”, took to Instagram and wrote “going down this racist path isn’t it.”

“We do not agree with this constant hatred,” he wrote in a message shared on Instagram. “It was very clear that these people don’t respect us.”

Ricky Martinwho previously supported Harris, was also offended by the comment and said “that’s what they think of us,” on Instagram.

Showing support, The bad bunny shared another part of Harris’ clip about Puerto Rico multiple times, saying “I will never forget what Donald Trump did and didn’t do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and competent leader.”

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican reggaeton artist, who has hits like “Dakiti” and “Titi Me Preguntó,” has won three Grammy Awards. He was the most streamed artist on Spotify in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and was only surpassed by Taylor Swift in 2023. He was named Apple Music’s Artist of the Year in 2022.

The Puerto Rican vote is sizable in Pennsylvania, which is arguably the hardest-fought of the swing states in the 2024 election. Other Puerto Rican singers such as Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have already expressed their support for Harris. Trump also attracted the support of other popular stars on the island, such as Anuel AA and Nicky Jam.

Bad Bunny criticized Puerto Rico’s power system, which was destroyed by Hurricane Maria. In a 2022 video for his song “El Apagon”, the artist called out the transmission and distribution company Luma Energy for the constant power outages affecting the island.

One of his most recent songs, “Una Velita,” is also a protest against the government’s response after Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in 2017.

A year after the storm, public health experts estimate that nearly 3,000 people have died from the effects of Hurricane Maria. But Trump, whose efforts to help the island territory recover has been constantly criticized, questioned the number, saying it had risen “like magic”.

His post-hurricane visit to the island sparked controversy, such as when he threw away paper towels. His administration released $13 billion in aid years later, just weeks before the 2020 presidential election. And a federal government watchdog found that officials obstructed an investigation into aid delays.

Bad Bunny also shared part of the clip in which Harris says Trump “abandoned the island, tried to block aid after back-to-back devastating hurricanes and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults.”

Harris visited a Puerto Rican restaurant in North Philadelphia on Sunday and laid out his policy on the island, saying he wants to create a task force to attract investment to fix the power grid. And Trump heads Tuesday to Allentown, Pennsylvania, where more than half its population is Hispanic and the majority from Puerto Rico.

In 2020, Bad Bunny allowed the Biden campaign to use one of his hits “Pero Ya No” in a TV commercial.
