Bad Bunny Faces Lawsuits Over Women's Voices While Breaking Streaming Records and Making History With Record-Breaking Tour

Bad Bunny is in the news this week for a mix of legal pressure, chart dominance, and a fresh wave of pop-culture reach. The biggest story is that Spanish-language coverage in El País says two lawsuits tied to the use of women’s voices in his songs are now framing a broader debate over consent in reggaeton, with one case involving Tainaly Serrano Rivera and another involving Carliz de la Cruz, who is seeking $40 million over the phrase “Bad Bunny, baby.”[2][5] At the same time, his music is still performing at a historic level. Billboard-tracking coverage reported by Inkl says “DTMF,” the title track from Debí Tirar Más Fotos, has held No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs for 71 straight weeks as of the Aug. 8 chart, while “Nuevayol” remains right behind it at No. 2, showing that multiple songs from the album are still dominating streaming and radio conversations.[28] Spotify tracking from Kworb also shows Debí TiRAR MáS FOToS among his strongest albums by daily streams, with the album continuing to pull massive numbers even months after release.[12] His tour is also still making news. 20minutos reports that the Debí Tirar Más Fotos tour has become the highest-grossing tour in history never to visit the United States, with 3.1 million tickets sold across 55 dates and reported revenue of $467.5 million, which underscores how global his audience has become.[34] That same report says the tour has been a major marker for the international reach of Spanish-language music.[34] Bad Bunny is also expanding beyond traditional music spaces. Music and entertainment coverage notes that his track “EoO” has been included on the soundtrack for Spider-Man: Un nuevo día, linking him to a major Marvel release and keeping his name in the movie and soundtrack conversation.[22] Social and entertainment posts are also pushing his visibility around brand and culture moments, including recent attention tied to Adidas collaborations and a steady stream of fan-driven content across TikTok and Instagram.[24][36] There is also a political and cultural angle making headlines. WDR and other outlets reported criticism after the White House used a Bad Bunny song in a TikTok montage related to immigration arrests, reviving long-running tension around his public image and political symbolism.[25][11] That kind of crossover has helped keep him central not just in music news, but in broader conversations about identity, Puerto Rico, and Spanish-language influence.[20] For listeners, the short version is this: Bad Bunny is simultaneously facing serious legal challenges, breaking streaming and touring records, and extending his presence into film, fashion, and public debate.
