“He still goin on about this”: Bad Bunny addressing his viral phone tossing controversy in his new album sparks wild reactions online

Bad Bunny did not react well back in January this year, when a fan attempted to grab a selfie while he was in the Dominican Republic. The footage shows a fan interrupting the singer to take a selfie with him, only for him to take the phone away from her and throw it in the water.

Now the singer has addressed the incident in his new album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, with the title track of the album featuring these lyrics:

"You are not my real fan, that's why I threw the cellphone."

The new response by the singer to the incident, now several months old, has generated wild reactions on the internet and social media, as exemplified in the tweet below:

Netizens react to Bad Bunny phone-throwing incident lyrics

Netizens were quick to react to Bad Bunny's new lyrics addressing his throwing of a fan's phone, taking to social media, particularly X, to express their feelings on the matter.

Some fans were amused by the reference to the incident in the lyrics of the singer's new album track, with a few claiming their adoration for him increased with the shade thrown at the fan who lost her phone. Others responded with sarcasm, posting memes about the incident and the response to it by the singer in his new album.

Bad Bunny originally addressed the phone-throwing incident, justifying his action by calling the fan's behavior a sign of "lack of respect."

"The person who comes up to me to say hello, to tell me something, or just to meet me, will always receive my attention and respect.Those who come to put a phone b****d in my face I will consider it for what it is, a lack of respect and I will treat it likewise."

Bad Bunny released his new album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, on October 13, 2023. The album features a number of producers, including Albert Hype, Chris Jedi, Smash, David, Stats, Tainy, and Zazu, among others. In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, the singer revealed the musical tonality and thematic concept behind the album, stating:

“I am playing around and enjoying myself, letting go. I’m being inspired a lot by the music of the ’70s—across genres, in both Spanish and English—but I’m not sure if this is going to shape my music, generally or just one song.”

Bad Bunny is best known for their third studio album, El Último Tour del Mundo, which was released on November 27, 2020. The multi-platinum-certified album was a chart topper on the Billboard 200 and Spanish album charts.

The album became the first Spanish-language album to ever top the Billboard album charts and won the Best Música Urbana Album award at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
