Bad Bunny always had a special place reserved for Chile in his heart. The Latin superstar showed his affection for the South American country in a series of Instagram Stories on Tuesday. Almost two months after the Santiago stop of his “Debí Tirar Más Photos” world tour.
“Chile was one of the first countries to embrace the culture and movement of Puerto Rico’s reggaeton in the 2000s. So it’s no coincidence that today, more than 20 years later, they have their own reggaeton scene and are successful worldwide,” Bad Bunny wrote in a story slide. “Just as they have believed in and supported the great Puerto Rican artists, they have done the same for me since 2016 – for that I am eternally grateful,” he added.
It also brought back his first memories of the country. “I will never forget this year, 2017, when I visited them for the first time – the clubs, El Caupolicán, until I arrived in Viña del Mar, the Arena Movistar and the Estadio Nacional.” He concluded his text with a message of thanks: “You have accompanied me in every phase of my career, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you for this beautiful and special love all these years.”
“120” remains a promise for now
At the tour stop in Santiago, where he opened his first shows of 2026, Chilean fans loudly demanded that Bad Bunny play “120” from his third solo album “El Último Tour Del Mundo”. Since its release in 2021, the track has become an all-time fan favorite in the country. In a moment that went viral, Bad Bunny shook his head firmly and stuck to his setlist. But over three nights at the Estadio Nacional, his band Los Sobrinos played sensitive versions of Chilean anthems, including Victor Jara’s “El Derecho de Vivir en Paz” and Violeta Parra’s “Gracias a La Vida.” In his Instagram tribute, he promised: “One day we will sing ‘120’ together, I promise.”
There is clearly no bad blood between Benito and Chile. As part of his Instagram Stories honoring the country, he shared images of Chile’s mountains and vineyards and highlighted music by Chilean artists – including 1980s punk rockers Los Prisioneros and reggaeton singer Floyymenor.
Bad Bunny’s affection for Chile is anything but new. In 2020, he collaborated with Chilean rapper Pablo Chill-E on “YHLQMDLG”‘s “Hablamos Mañana”. A few weeks after his shows in Santiago, the superstar appeared in the Super Bowl halftime show. In the unifying moment of celebrating each country in the Americas, Benito named Chile first. Viva Chile!
