Bad Bunny has broken the internet again it seems after he took fans behind the scenes of his self-care routine, and well, posted some snaps while he was in the bathtub.
Most of the slideshow is of Benito’s selfies as he chills in the tub. For the other one that’s gaining traction, he decided to turn the camera around, providing a near-NSFW shot of his thighs and leg tattoos — with some conveniently placed bubbles still making it social-media-friendly.
Following these pics, his followers have been anything but calm about Bad Bunny.
“im so fond of him . i love whoreish antics,” one user wrote.
“Saltburn is starting to make so much sense to me now,” a Twitter user fan chimed in. A few others simply offered a reaction photo of Keoghan in the movie to serve as their response to seeing Bad Bunny’s post.
Beef between two major media companies was made public yesterday (January 30), and the feud could have a noteworthy impact on the day-to-day content people consume.
TikTok and Universal Music Group have a licensing agreement that expires today, and this agreement allows UMG songs to appear on the TikTok platform and be utilized in videos from TikTok users. Negotiations on a new contract have apparently been going poorly, as indicated by the open letters both companies shared criticizing each other. If a new deal isn’t reached, music by UMG artists could soon leave TikTok.
Which UMG Artists Will Be Removed From TikTok?
Let’s start by looking at what UMG is: Broadly speaking, it’s a massive company that owns a ton of recognizable record labels, including but not limited to Interscope, Geffen, Capitol, Def Jam, Island, Polydor, Republic, and Virgin Music Group.
So, presumably, in the event that a new licensing agreement is not reached, all acts on those labels would see their music leave TikTok. That includes so many hit-making artists, like Taylor Swift, Drake, The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, SZA, Steve Lacy, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Harry Styles, Rosalía, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Adele, U2, Elton John, J Balvin, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, and Post Malone.
Those artists have an estimated 950 trillion streams between them (note: exaggerated estimate for comedic effect only), and a ton of beloved acts not even mentioned above are also under the UMG umbrella. So, should their music be wiped off of TikTok, it would be a noticeable loss for the platform’s users.
For better or worse, the sneaker world is dominated by hype. And nothing in the sneaker space (save for a coveted Jordan colorway refresh) gets as hyped as a music artist sneaker brand collaboration. This is a rich history that starts with Run D.M.C.’s My Adidas, kicked up steam with notable collaborations with the likes of Jay-Z and Eminem in the early ‘00s, and reached its peak with the introduction of Yeezy, which dominated the sneaker world for nearly a decade.
The popularity of artist sneaker collaborations is so high that the big sneaker brands can’t stop dishing them out and it seems like we can’t stop buying them. But who is doing the best sneaker collaborations of our modern era? We dove deep on the subject by ranking the best sneaker artist collaborations right now.
To keep this list as current as possible, we’re paying special attention to active sneaker collaborations. We’re talking about ongoing collaborations between brands and artists, which means no coveted ultra-rare pairs like the Jordan 4 x Eminem Encore, no Yeezy Adidas collaborations, and nothing that isn’t readily available on aftermarket sites.
For each artist and brand pair-up, I’ve selected a single silhouette. One pair that I think represents the best of the collaboration between the two entities. I’ve narrowed it down to 10 candidates. Let’s dive in!
10. Cardi B — Reebok Club C Cardi V2 (Lavender)
Reebok
Just because I’m ranking Cardi B’s collaboration with Reebok dead last doesn’t mean I dislike the shoe. I don’t! But I certainly don’t love it either. This collaboration builds off the silhouette of the classic Club C, one of Reebok’s best sneakers, and outfits it with a crazy altered leather upper with big outsole lugs, and a loud single-tone colorway.
If you saw this sneaker out on the streets there wouldn’t be anything to indicate that it’s a collaboration with Cardi B, and it’s not like that’s a requirement, but it just seems like this sneaker is a cash grab and little else.

9. Pharrell Williams x Adidas Humanrace NMD S1 MAHBS Bliss
GOAT
Pharrell has a long and storied history combining the worlds of fashion and music, and his Ice Cream sneakers were some of the best of their era, but ever since the super producer/ Louis Vuitton menswear creative director has been making shoes with Adidas, there has been something lacking there.
Don’t get me wrong the Humanrace line is consistent and has produced some fine shoes, but they lack the excitement of his early collaborations with Nigo. There is a certain post-Yeezy blandness to the designs. They’re sneakers that don’t demand to be seen, opting instead to fade into the surroundings. They’re minimal to the point of being, well, kind of boring.
One of my favorite Pharrell Adidas drops of last year came in November, the Humanrace NMD S1 MAHBS Bliss. As a sneaker, I like the neutral colorway and the semi-futuristic design, but it just doesn’t spark any excitement and it doesn’t feel like a pair of sneakers you need to have.

8. Beyonce x Adidas Ivy Park Sleep Super Glow Blue
GOAT
When Adidas first linked up with Beyonce for the Ivy Park line of sneakers and streetwear, I was hyped.
1). Because it’s Beyonce, she doesn’t miss.
and
2). Because it looked like Beyonce was trying to transform the Adidas design language and recreate it in her image.
I’m always for that, but seven years into the two brands coming together, Beyonce has never released anything that has set the sneaker world on fire.
Having said that, I like the Super Sleek a lot. It takes the Samba silhouette, arguably Adidas’ most popular design, and mixes it up enough that it’s essentially a new shoe. It has a thick chunky sole, elegant Ivy Park branding, and a bungee cord heel clip.
It is by no means an essential sneaker or one that lives up to Beyonce’s reputation, but it looks great.
I was initially skeptical of Drake’s Nike NOCTA line of sneakers because I’ve never been in love with Drake and Nike’s early OVO collaborations, but I think the NOCTA Glide is a pretty dope sneaker. It takes most of its design cues from the Nike Zoom Flight 95 and sports a modern build of mesh and textile, with a foam midsole.
The White Chrome sports 3M reflective elements and chrome detailing which gives the sneaker an elevated luxurious look. That mix of bright white and chrome feels classic like this shoe has always been a part of Nike’s roster. But that’s also part of the problem — nothing about this sneaker is reflective of Drake other than the fact that it feels incredibly safe, is engineered to be a hit, and lacks any soul or weirdness.
At first, I was incredibly excited about Bad Bunny and Adidas teaming up, but I’m starting to get a little worried. Mostly because I think the best Bad Bunny Adidas collaboration by far, is the Easter Egg, which was the two entities’ second collaboration. That sneaker came out three years ago and Bad Bunny and Adidas haven’t released anything even half as dope since.
One thing I will give the Bad Bunny Adidas collaboration is that it’s… easily identifiable. The sneaker takes a popular Adidas silhouette, the Forum, and alters it with a buckle strap and Bad Bunny-inspired branding at the tongue. It’s also really hard not to fall in love with this soft pink colorway. It feels daring and unexpected, a colliding of aesthetics and opposing worlds, kind of like the best Bad Bunny songs. I just wish they’d capture that magic again.

5. Tyler The Creator x Converse Golf Le Fleur One Star Ox Bachelor Blue
GOAT
Out of all the artists on this list, none of them are quite as visionary as Tyler the Creator. He has a distinct vision and aesthetic that is entirely his own. We don’t know how involved any of these artists are in the design process of their respective sneakers, but we can say with certainty that none are as involved as Tyler the Creator.
He’s always shown an interest in fashion and his Golf Le Fleur, Golf Wang, and GOLF brands operate under a specific and consistent vision. I appreciate Tyler’s place in the fashion world and his ongoing work with Converse, but I feel like overall that distinct vision is kind of niche.
While I think the Golf Le Fleur line has resulted in a lot of dope shoes, if your vibe isn’t classic Converse shapes and bright pastel colors, this line will never really speak to you.
My favorite so far has to be the 2018s One Star OX in Bachelor Blue. I love the suede upper, the flower print branding, and the orange contrast points.
4. Action Bronson x New Balance 990v6 Lapis Lazuli
GOAT
Not enough people are talking about Action Bronson and New Balance’s collaborations. The pair linked up just last year and hasn’t missed on a single drop. Our favorite so far was the 990v6 Lapiz Lazuli, a sneaker we named one of the 20 best of 2023.
The sneaker is part of New Balance’s MADE IN USA line and features a mesh base with suede overlays and big bold colors. Big bold colors are something consistently missing from New Balance, so we like to think that contribution comes straight from Bronson, who has a big bold personality to match.
Keep watching the Action Bronson NB link-ups, because we have a feeling the best is yet to come.
I’m a bit torn on this one. On one hand, look at it, it’s dope. I don’t need multiple paragraphs to convince you this is one of the best Jordan colorways to drop in recent memory, celebrity collaboration or not. That off-white coconut milk upper, the soft suede Elephant print mudguards, those hints of yellow at the seams, the gradient heel piece — this is an all-time great Jordan 3 colorway.
It may even solidify J Balvin as Nike’s greatest current collaborator. But it just feels so damn safe. It takes arguably the greatest Jordan silhouette (I say arguably because I think the 4 is superior, but that’s just me) dips it in an interesting collar combination inspired by Balvin’s hometown, and then calls it a day. It doesn’t take any risks whatsoever, and the end result is probably better for it, but ranking it any higher than third just feels wrong.
Having said that, J Balvin’s Jordan collaborations are always interesting, so as long as they keep dropping shoes together, we’re going to keep paying attention. We’d just like to see Balvin take even a little bit of a chance.
I was incredibly close to giving this collaboration between Rihanna’s Fenty and Puma the top spot. I love everything about this shoe, I love the simple design, I love this particular colorway and the level of luxury, and I love the way it combines PUMA’s King Football Boot and Easy Rider running sneaker, a reference to German designer Jil Sander King who was the first high-end designer to ever combine the world of runway fashion and sportswear.
It was King who elevated the sneaker from sportswear to luxury wear and I think it’s dope that Rihanna recognized and paid tribute to a fellow trailblazer. But history and tradition aren’t enough to award the sneaker the number one spot.
So while I think Rihanna is operating on a deeper level than every other artist with a signature sneaker, I can’t pretend this is the best. Especially considering the number one spot is so painfully obvious that you’ve probably been waiting for it this whole time.
When I said the sneaker world was dominated by hype, I meant it. That’s why, even though it’s not my favorite Travis Scott Nike collaboration ever, I can’t deny that this is the best artist sneaker collaboration in recent memory. This sneaker kicked off the ongoing collaboration between Nike and Travis Scott and is the only sneaker on this list with aftermarket prices above $1000. The hype for this sneaker is alive and well.
Unlike the J Balvin collaboration, there is at least some risk taken here. The most instantly recognizable feature of a Travis Scott Nike collaboration is that large backward Swoosh. Couple that with a muted and dusty colorway, and Cactus Jack branding at the heel and you have a sneaker that reflects Travis Scott’s whole aesthetic.
It has a strong design language, and a strong level of hype, there simply isn’t an artist hotter artist in the sneaker world than Travis Scott right now. We just wish he’d take a page out of his mentor’s book and start conceptualizing some silhouettes of his own.
But! We might be starting the cycle all over again.
Are Bad Bunny And Kendall Jenner Back Together?
Who’s to say? Everything about this alleged, reported, rumored couple was vague, so, of course, all we have go off of as to whether Bad Bunny and Jenner have reconciled is an exclusive Us Weekly report, which reports that the two “have started seeing one another again.”
“Kendall’s friends aren’t surprised whatsoever that she’s seeing Bad Bunny again,” an unnamed source told the publication. “They figured this would happen because she has a habit of going back to exes. It’s not the type of situation where they’re fully back together, but they have hung out a few times since breaking up last month.”
The source added, “At the end of the day, if she’s happy, then of course they support her and whoever she decides to date. They’re still not convinced he’s The One for her, but if he treats her well then they’re good with it.”
Bad Bunny, born in 1994, is a Puerto Rican singer, rapper, and songwriter known for his unique blend of Latin trap and reggaeton music. In this article, we will examine the factors that have contributed to Bad Bunny’s wealth, including his music career, brand endorsements, collaborations, and personal brand.
Bad Bunny Net Worth 2024
Celebrity Net Worth estimates his net worth to be around $40 million as of 2024.

Bad Bunny’s rise to fame began with the release of his single “Soy Peor” in 2017. Since then, he has released multiple chart-topping hits and albums, including X 100PRE, YHLQMDLG, and El Último Tour del Mundo. His music has garnered billions of streams worldwide, leading to substantial income from digital platforms and album sales.
In addition to his music releases, Bad Bunny has embarked on several successful tours. These tours have generated millions of dollars in revenue from ticket sales and merchandise, further boosting his net worth.
Endorsement Deals & Partnerships

Another factor contributing to Bad Bunny’s net worth is the lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships he has secured throughout his career. As an influential figure in the music industry, he has attracted the attention of several major brands.
He has inked deals with companies like Corona Extra, Adidas, and Cheetos. These endorsement deals have provided him with additional income, further increasing his net worth.
Collaborations & Guest Appearances
Bad Bunny’s collaborations with other artists and guest appearances have also played a significant role in his financial success. He has teamed up with various high-profile musicians like J Balvin, Cardi B, and Drake, exposing his music to a broader audience and increasing his overall earnings.
These collaborations have not only expanded his fan base but also created more revenue opportunities through streaming and digital downloads.

Bad Bunny’s personal brand and social media presence has been crucial in boosting his net worth. With millions of followers on platforms such as Instagram and YouTube, he has a vast audience to promote his music, endorsement deals, and collaborations.
His unique style and persona have made him a highly marketable figure. This has allowed him to attract sponsorship deals and endorsement offers. As he continues to grow his personal brand, it is likely that his net worth will continue to rise.
Considering Bad Bunny’s rapid ascent to stardom and his relatively young age, his net worth is expected to grow even more in the coming years. As he releases more music, embarks on additional tours, and secures further endorsement deals, his income streams will likely increase.
Moreover, his strong personal brand and global appeal ensure that he will remain a highly sought-after artist for collaborations and guest appearances, adding to his earnings potential.
Conclusion/TLDR
Bad Bunny’s estimated net worth of $40 million in 2024 can be attributed to his successful music career, endorsement deals, collaborations, and personal brand. With his unmistakable talent, charisma, and work ethic, it is no surprise that Bad Bunny has become one of the most prominent figures in the Latin music industry. As he continues to make waves in the global music scene, his net worth is sure to climb even higher in the years to come.
Musician sneaker collabs are all the rage these days. With Drake, Travis Scott, Rihanna, and most recently, Megan Thee Stallion signing endorsement deals with sneaker giants like Nike and Adidas, it seems like rappers and singers are the new basketball and soccer stars.
Later this year, Bad Bunny will join the fray, teaming up with Adidas for a chunky take on the brand’s Campus silhouette in a “Deep Brown” colorway. In addition to working with premium materials such as suede on the upper, the shoe features a double tongue and ankle collar and Bad Bunny’s signature branding on the footbed and tongue.
The “Deep Brown” Campus is just the latest colorway of the shoe designed by Bad Bunny; prior editions include Light Grey, Wild Moss, and Cream. He’s also worked with the brand on versions of other signature silhouettes including the Forum Low, Response CL, and Forum Powerphase.

Bad Bunny recently held his fourth annual Bonita Tradición event through his Good Bunny Foundation, where he gave Christmas gifts to children in Puerto Rico on Saturday (December 23) — just in time for the holiday. Held in Puerto Rico’s Convention Center, a video posted by Akademiks shows Bad Bunny going around to meet kids on the other side of the barricade. Some were even wearing Santa hats, just to keep with the energy.
This year, Bad Bunny didn’t stop his holiday surprises there. He gave a surprise performance as well at the Luis Lloréns Torres housing complex, where he also shared some heartfelt words with the crowd.
“There are few who believe in neighborhood people, in village people,” Bad Bunny said, translated into English, according to a Twitter account. “But great people have come out of the neighborhood where I come from… The government and the people don’t believe in places like these.”
“Son pocos los que creen en la gente de barrio, en la gente de caserío. Pero del barrio de donde yo vengo han salido gente grande. El gobierno y la gente no cree en lugares como estos.”
Some fans posting videos from Bad Bunny’s show also reported that Arcángel was there to perform with him. The two have collaborated quite a few times over the years, including on tracks like “La Jumpa” and “Original.”

YouTube released its list of the most-viewed artists for 2023, and Peso Pluma took this year’s top spot. The musician gained over 8.5 billion views on his music videos across the globe.
“I feel humble and grateful that my music has made it to the top spot on YouTube,” Peso Pluma told The Hollywood Reporter. “A huge thank you to my musicians and team, my fans, everyone at YouTube and all the people who have made this project possible.”
Two of his songs, “Ella Baila Sola” (feat. Eslabón Armado) and “La Bebe (Remix)” (feat. Yng Lvcas), placed in third and fourth on YouTube’s Top 10 Songs in the US for 2023 as well.
According to the publication, “Ella Baila Sola” got a significant boost through TikTok. It broke a ton of records, too. Peso Pluma’s hit became the first regional Mexican song to make it in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 4 on the chart. It also spent 19 weeks on the Hot Latin Songs Chart and is certified 21x Platinum — amounting to 1.26 million in units.
As for the other artists rounding out YouTube’s most-viewed list this year, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Drake, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift were the rest of the Top 5.
Based on rumors floating around online, there will be one less plate to set at “Baticano” rapper Bad Bunny’s house this holiday season. According to People, reggaeton’s biggest star could be reentering the dating pool in the new year. After nearly a year of dating, the Grammy Award-winning musician and his model girlfriend Kendall Jenner have reportedly split.
Although the outlet didn’t list the reason for the supposed separation, it is confident that the once ‘it couple’ in entertainment is no more. The duo supposedly began their love affair in February, but as much as they tried to keep their romance away from the public, they couldn’t help but be spotted together on numerous occasions. In April, Jenner supported her beaux during his record-setting headlining Coachella set as she was spotted dancing along in the crowd.
They took things up a notch when Bad Bunny subtly hinted at their relationship in his video for the single “Un Preview.” Then the pair put their love on full display, starring in fashion house Gucci’s Valigeria campaign. Neither have released a statement in response to the reports, but that should serve as no surprise given their coupling started under tight wraps.
With Bad Bunny hitting the road in 2024 for his sold-out Most Wanted Tour, fans are guessing he will address the breakup on stage.
