Bad Bunny started 2023 full of controversy. Amid his musical successes and the announcement of his tour, he faced harsh criticism after someone recorded the exact moment he threw a fan’s phone into the sea as she tried to take a photo with him in the Dominican Republic.
With this in mind, the artist responded a few days later with a message on Twitter: “The person who comes up to me, whether to greet me, tell me something or just get to know me, will always receive my attention and respect. However, he added emphatically: “Those who come to shove a damn phone in my face will see it for what it is: a lack of respect, and I will treat it the same way.”

In the following months, videos repeatedly emerged in which he apparently took away his followers’ phones to avoid contact.
Although Bunny is known to enjoy success and privilege, his personal image was not the best. As for the fans, there are those who consider that he is losing his place, while others ask that the space of celebrities be respected since, like everyone else, they have the right to be upset if the Limits of respect are crossed. Now his reaction is once again dividing opinions. We’ll tell you.
Confrontation with a fan
The controversial clip was published via the Instagram account @nelssiecarrillo in which Bad Bunny became angry with one of his followers. In the video, the “A Summer Without You” singer can be seen making his way through the crowd to reach his truck. It is worth noting that many people tried to take photos with him and shouted. While covering his head, he took longer steps and as he tried to climb up, he collided with a child who appeared to be greeting him.
So, annoyed, he turned to the fan, who was apparently the minor’s father, said: “Don’t let me have a child like that, Cab…n” and got into the vehicle.
The follower didn’t give up and asked him sadly: “Benito, a photo, please, a photo.” No, a photo with him.” But Bunny decided to ignore the request and didn’t get out of the vehicle.
Who is right?
Online users did not hesitate to express their opinions. Some comments claimed the father was irresponsible for taking the minor to a potentially dangerous place.
Others commented: “It’s good that he didn’t let himself be manipulated by an irresponsible father.” Let’s see if the father is a little ashamed”, “I don’t understand why they brought a baby there”, “They have it “Already forgotten when he threw away the phone,” “He lost the apartment, and the people too.”
On the other hand, Bunny also received criticism: “It’s not good that they have a child there, but for the same reason he should have been more polite and at least greeted the child.” “I agree that no parent should embarrass him.” Benito is right, but the right thing to do is to take the photo since the child left him with his arms outstretched.
So far, Bunny hasn’t spoken about the incident.
