Bad Bunny is once again in the eye of the storm, after finishing his performance during the first day of the Coachella festival, the singer projected a controversial message to Harry Styles, for which the Puerto Rican received several criticisms on social networks.
The Coachella 2023 festival closed its first day with Puerto Rican reggaeton star Bad Bunny, who is the first Latin and Spanish-speaking musician to headline the renowned festival, which takes place over two consecutive weekends.
In his presentation, the reggaeton musician performed songs such as Vete, Tití me preguntó and Yo perreo sola in front of thousands of enthusiastic spectators, amidst fireworks. However, at the end of his performance, the reggaeton icon projected a message for Harry Styles, which generated a lot of criticism on social networks.
.
Hundreds of people, mainly Harry Styles fans, spoke out against the Puerto Rican for the message in which he alluded to the former One Direction member. The interpreter of “Me porto bonito”, became a trend, by the hints, towards the British. So far, he has not commented on these messages.
At the end of the show, the Puerto Rican projected on the concert screens a message alluding to the singer Harry Styles. The screens read: “goodnight benito could do as it was but harry could never do el apagon,” said the tweet that someone captured and shared on social networks.

The show also featured documentary-style images and voiceovers that contextualized the history of Latin American music, more specifically Caribbean, which features prominently in his work. In his performance, Bad Bunny invited other featured musicians, including Post Malone, who performed an acoustic version of “La canción” to the delight of the audience.
Although he had already played Coachella as a solo artist in 2019, Bad Bunny said Friday night was a milestone in his successful career. “There’s never been anyone like me before,” the reggaeton singer said. Among the criticisms on social networks from some users that were made to the artist for projecting the message dedicated to Harry Styles stand out:

“Harry has no reason to pay attention to a dumb who doesn’t know how to make music“, “Bad Bunny went to Harry Styles’ concert, but Harry would never go to a Bad Bunny concert“, “Can you imagine that in your first big festival you have to do that to be relevant. Cheers to the #1 Harry Styles fan.”
According to netizens, the main cause of the beef Bad Bunny has against Harry Styles lies with Kendall Jenner. In the past, the eldest of the Jenner sisters had an affair with the British singer, and currently her boyfriend is Bad Bunny, who doesn’t like Harry Styles for this reason.
