A user on Twitter did not like that her daughter listened to Bad Bunny in one of the Burger King restaurants, which is why she has asked for a major change to the brand.
We live in times where reggaeton (or also called “Urban Genre”) is much more than a fad and, on the contrary, has managed to position itself even more in an industry as volatile as music.
Today, there is an important debate about what music like reggaeton means for the new generations, for young people, who are the ones who tend to consume more artists like J Balvin, Maluma, Bad Bunny, among many others.
In fact, a study conducted by Statista in August 2020 revealed that K-Pop and Reggaeton have taken over YouTube in that year, with BTS (K-Pop) and Bad Bunny (Reggaeton) being the artists with the most views on YouTube. the Google platform with 3,600 and 3,500 million views respectively.
On the other hand, this year Spotify announced that, for the second consecutive year, Bad Bunny was the most listened to singer on the platform, recording more than 9.1 billion views without having released a new album.
As encouraging as these data may seem, they are not enough for the mother of a minor to tolerate her daughter listening to the Puerto Rican’s songs in a Burger King restaurant.
In this way, through your account Twitter, the user complained to the brand about the fact that her daughter was listening to “Bad Bunny and his explicit lyrics” in the middle of the restaurant, asking the company to “hopefully they would change the music”.

Regardless of how funny, absurd or even extreme it may seem, the truth is that said claim brings to the table one of the most extensive debates that has arisen in the music industry, and that has to do with the fact that reggaeton It is not well seen by an important sector of society.
Of course, musical tastes are merely subjective and what some call “good music” or “bad music”, for others it is the opposite; however, in the case of reggaeton, the debate about the content of its songs is still very open and, in fact, some singers have received several blows in this regard.
One of the most recent cases occurred with the Colombian J Balvin, who was severely criticized for the video clip of his song “Perra”, where some users called him “macho”, “misogynist”, etc., to such an extent that the video was removed from YouTube, although it was later learned that it was the singer who decided to unsubscribe.
The debate, as we mentioned, is still open and several voices have come together both for and against the representatives of reggaeton, a fact that has even and unintentionally positioned some artists.
What is clear is that when we talk about Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Maluma or any other, it will always be controversial.
