Abstract

Puerto Rican Latin trap music artist Bad Bunny is using his fame and fortune to influence politics on his home island. He has paid for billboards across San Juan that criticize the New Progressive Party, the frontrunner in the upcoming gubernatorial election. While Bad Bunny has not endorsed a specific candidate, he has expressed his dissatisfaction with the ruling party and the Popular Democratic Party. His involvement in the election adds another layer of complexity to an already contentious race, which has been marked by frustration over Puerto Rico's slow recovery from Hurricane Maria.
