Bad Bunny Transforms Into A Terrifying Monster In His Horror-Themed ‘Baticano’ Video

Bad Bunny has had an exciting spooky season. Earlier this month, the Puerto Rican superstar released his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana. He also appeared on Saturday Night Live, as a host and musical guest. As Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana continues to be one of 2023’s buzziest releases, Bunny has shared with us the latest offering from the album — a horror-themed new visual for “Baticano” — which arrives just in time for Halloween.

In the cinematic visual, a Frakenstein-esque scientist, played by the illustrious Steve Buscemi, creates a terrifying monster out of Bunny. Bunny is later set free, arrives at a graveyard, where corpses and ghosts deliver a haunting dance routine.

The “Baticano” video is just the latest example of Bunny demonstrating his on-screen talents. Last year, he starred in the thriller Bullet Train, and this year he had a role in the biographical drama, Cassandro. He also stole the show during his appearance on SNL, keeping the audience in stitches throughout the night.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Bunny teased that we may soon see him in more onscreen projects in the future.

“You could say that I have been investing a little bit more of myself in acting,” he said.

In the meantime, you can see the video for “Baticano” above.

Here’s How To Get Bad Bunny ‘Most Wanted Tour’ Tickets If They’re Sold Out

Bad Bunny‘s new album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, continues to dominate the charts. And with the release of the album, fans are anxious to get their hands on tickets for Benito’s upcoming Most Wanted Tour.

Today (October 25), tickets for the tour have gone on sale by way of an exclusive pre-sale through Ticketmaster by way of its official Verified Fan Registration. General on-sale is expected to begin at a later time today. However, given recent Ticketmaster fiascos ahead of tours for Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, fans are worried that they may not be able to get tickets for the Most Wanted Tour.

Luckily, fans will have other opportunities to purchase tickets.

If fans did not receive a pre-sale code for the Most Wanted Tour, they can purchase tickets through secondary market platforms. Granted, this might not be the most ideal situation, but StubHub, Vivid Seats, TicketNetwork, MegaSeats, and TicketCity are options.

Of course, resellers are notorious for tacking on fees, but there are ways for fans to save a decent amount of money.

First-time Vivid Seat users can save $20 on orders over $200 using promo code NJ20. Those using TicketCity can save $15 on orders over $400 with promo code TCITYSAVE15.

And trust us, your orders on those resellers will reach that much.

Bad Bunny Channeled A Charismatic Mafia Leader In A Performance Of ‘Monaco’ On ‘Saturday Night Live’

Hitting the Saturday Night Live stage for the second time tonight, Bad Bunny celebrated his new album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana with a performance of the instant fan-favorite “Monaco.”

While on stage, Bunny was seated in the middle of a large supper table, as he channeled the leader of a mafia. Joined by a group of fellow mafiosos, Bunny once again maintained an impeccable stage presence, as he turned up his charisma.

The performance slightly mirrored the mafia-themed music video for “Monaco,” which stars Al Pacino. Earlier in the week, Bunny made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, during which, he said that Pacino is his uncle.

Shortly after, Bunny clarified that he was joking, however, he said that the experience of working with Pacino was “a dream come true.”

Tonight marks Bunny’s second time performing on Saturday Night Live, but his first time hosting. Earlier in the night, Bunny had the audience in stitches with his monologue, during which, he shared hilarious stories, in both English and Spanish. He also delivered laughs in a dramatic, telenovela-themed sketch, which told the story of a fictional, wealthy family.

You can see the performance of “Monaco” above.

Bad Bunny Took Command Of The Stage In A Performance Of ‘Un Preview’ On ‘Saturday Night Live’

In his first musical performance of the night, Bad Bunny took to the Saturday Night Live stage, performing “Un Preview” from his new album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana.

Ahead of the performance, Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance to introduce Bunny, who then commands the stage, dancing in front of a coin-operated horse, against a white backdrop.

Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana has been out for over a week, and Bunny is still riding the high of dropping the album. The album became the most streamed album on Spotify in a single day within the first 24 hours of its release. And this performance was simply “un preview” of what to expect from his upcoming tour.

Gaga isn’t the only famous friend of Bunny to make a surprise appearance. Earlier in the night, Bunny was joined by The Last Of Us actor Pedro Pascal in the middle of his opening monologue. In a dramatic telenovela-themed sketch, Rolling Stones lead vocalist Mick Jagger made an appearance, playing an actor who was starring as the patriarch of the fictional Padilla family.

As his star-studded list of supporters would suggest, Bunny’s music has proven timeless for fans across various generations.

How To Get Tickets For Bad Bunny’s ‘Most Wanted Tour’

With the announcement of his 2024 Most Wanted Tour on Thursday morning (October 19), Bad Bunny now has dibs on the most accurately named tour of all time.

The Puerto Rican supernova was the top touring artist of 2022 “with total gross of $373.5 million from 1.8 million tickets across 65 shows,” per Billboard‘s annual Boxscore recap. The publication’s report also relayed, “Bad Bunny is the first Latin act, and first act who doesn’t perform in English, to finish atop Billboard‘s year-end Top Tours chart. Beyond the historic nature of his win for genre and language, he is the only artist to mount separate $100-million tours in the same year.”

So, yeah, objectively speaking, Bad Bunny’s Most Wanted Tour will be the hottest ticket of 2024. According to a press release, Bad Bunny fans “are being asked to register ahead of tickets going on sale for the Most Wanted Tour to help block bots and scalpers, reduce resale, and get more tickets directly into the hands of real people who want to attend the show.”

Registration is open here and will run from now until Sunday, October 22, at 11:59 p.m. According to Ticketmaster, people can expect an email confirming registration within 24 hours, though registering does not guarantee access to the sale. On Tuesday, October 24, fans should be on the lookout for another email “in the evening” to confirm whether they’ve been selected to participate in the sale or placed on the waitlist. Selected fans will receive a unique access code via text.

“Once registration closes, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to the onsale on Wednesday, October 25,” the press release adds.

Benito’s Most Wanted Tour is in support of his newly released album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana.

Bad Bunny’s “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana” Album Marks A Triumphant Return

Now that Drake has finally delivered For All The Dogs, there’s been a notable increase in the number of releases coming from the hip-hop industry. Creatives are no longer living in fear of being dramatically out-streamed by the Canadian artist, who had the seventh-largest opening day in Spotify history thanks to his work. Many are still streaming that R&B-centric project, but this past New Music Friday (October 13), Bad Bunny followed up his short and sweet guest feature on Drizzy’s album with a new LP of his own called Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana.

The 22-track effort is on pace to make a No. 1 debut on the Billboard chart in the coming days, though its numbers are expected to be lower than 2022’s Un Verano Sin Ti. Regardless, Benito continues to make headlines thanks to his hard work, whether for making suggestive comments about his sex life with Kendall Jenner, or for seemingly dissing J Balvin.

Bad Bunny is Back in His Bag

Friends who joined forces with the “I Like It” hitmaker for Nadie Sabe include Young Miko, Mora, Bryant Myers, and Eladio Carrion. The latter comes through on “THUNDER Y LIGHTNING,” one of the final few titles on which Bunny seems to call Balvin out for being too friendly with many people in the music industry.

Check out our personal favourite song from Bad Bunny’s new album, “CYBERTRUCK” in the video above. If you’re curious about everything the Puerto Rican brings to the table on Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana, you can find the full LP on Spotify/Apple Music.

Bad Bunny Dines With Al Pacino In Music Video For “Monaco”

Bad Bunny teamed up with Al Pacino for his newest music video, “Monaco.” In the piece, the two share a pasta dinner while Bunny performs the song from his new album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. It features a sample of Charles Aznavour’s “Hier Encore.”

In the chorus, he raps in Spanish, as translated by Uproxx: “Drinking a lot of champagne, we’re never dry / First came Verstappen, then came Checo / If Pablo saw me, he’d say I’m a beast / You’re talking shit while me and mine are in Monaco / Drinking a lot of champagne, we’re never dry / They’re talking to themselves, they’re talking to the echo / The sign of money that’s my new zodiac / I light a cigar, the family is in Monaco.”

Following the performance, Bad Bunny asks Pacino how he’s doing, to which the legendary actor responds: “Playing games, what else is new? Hey, you’re doing great. You really are doing great. He’s charging it up! Enjoy.” Bad Bunny then remarks: “That’s what I’m doing, enjoying life.” From there, Pacino serenades him, singing: “You never know what tomorrow brings, you never know what tomorrow takes from you.” Check out the full music video for “Monaco” below.

Bad Bunny’s First Week Sales Projections Suggest No. 1 Debut For “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana”

When Bad Bunny last surprised us with an album, Un Verano Sin Ti, the Latin rapper went on to break records for weeks to follow. His work was constantly resurfacing on Billboard‘s charts, beating out other rappers and singers thanks to the infectious vibe he curated on that LP. At the time, Benito managed to sell 328M copies in his first week out, solidifying his status as one of the biggest commercial artists in the industry at this time.

After dropping off his latest project, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana on Friday (October 13) with just a few days’ notice, Hits Daily Double has shared their first week sales projections for the 22-song effort. According to the outlet, Bunny’s album will move anywhere from 200 – 225K copies in the days immediately after dropping, which obviously marks a decline from his 2022 release. Nevertheless, the “Tarot” artist will likely outsell Drake’s For All The Dogs as it continues to amass streams during its second week out.

Bad Bunny Could Take No. 1 on the Charts

As we previously reported, the Canadian achieved the seventh-largest opening day in Spotify history with his R&B-centric LP. Bunny’s Nadie Sabe also made waves on the platform with his surprise drop becoming the “most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far.” It was a slow start to the year in terms of No. 1 rap albums, so seeing both Drake and his “Gently” collaborator continuing to push boundaries has been exciting for hip-hop heads.

Bad Bunny brought plenty to the table in terms of his new album, but what’s really got social media talking are his apparent references to his sex life with Kendall Jenner, as well as his name-drop of J Balvin on “THUNDER Y LIGHTNING.” Seeing as the latter duo has collaborated in the past, the Colombian was left surprised by Benito’s apparent diss. Read what he had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Bad Bunny’s ‘Monaco’ Video Starring Al Pacino Is A Mafia-Inspired Display Of His Massive Wealth, International Appeal, And More

Bad Bunny’s latest album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, is enjoying massive success. While some believe it includes several slight jabs at others, the musician was sure to show plenty of love to others. The official Stillz-directed video for the latest single, “Monaco,” shows that even a global superstar like Bad Bunny still fans out over other entertainers.

In the chorus (roughly translated), Bad Bunny raps, “Drinking a lot of champagne, we’re never dry / First came Verstappen, then came Checo / If Pablo saw me, he’d say I’m a beast / You’re talking shit while me and mine are in Monaco / Drinking a lot of champagne, we’re never dry / They’re talking to themselves, they’re talking to the echo / The sign of money that’s my new zodiac / I light a cigar, the family is in Monaco.”

The song’s sample of Charles Aznavour’s “Hier Encore” adds to the international appeal. We see how Bad Bunny’s luxurious lifestyle offers him plenty of perks, including the companionship of gorgeous women, mega-yachts, and fine dining.

At the end of the video, legendary actor Al Pacino sits down for a touching conversation with the musician. “You are doing great. You really are doing great,” Pacino says, adding that he’s “charging it up, and I’m enjoying it.”

“That’s what I’m doing, just enjoying life,” replied Bad Bunny.

They close their interaction by singing Traffic’s 1968 song “Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring,” whose lyrics contain the title of Bad Bunny’s album.
