Reggaeton star Bad Bunny has been criticized by his fans for throwing away a young woman’s cell phone. A video shows the 28-year-old traveling in a group and the woman approaching him. She has her smartphone in hand and is filming in selfie mode. Shortly thereafter, Bad Bunny takes the phone and throws it away. The woman remains amazed.
In a statement, the rapper commented on the incident. “The person who approaches me to say ‘hello’ or just to get to know me will always get my attention and respect. Those who put a phone in my face I will see for what it is, a lack of respect, and I will treat them as such.”
