Welcome back. It is always great to see you.
Thank you for taking some time to say hi to us.
Congrats on the new album, by the way.
You just dropped this.
Crushed it with this.
No one knew it was gonna come out.
I guess you knew it was gonna come out.
Obviously. Yeah, yeah.
How long ago did you know, like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna release this?
Um, since I started to work on it.
Yeah, but, yeah, yeah, it's true.
I understand that. But to come out now,
I know that you like to give little Easter eggs
and hints to your fans, but you're like,
you just dropped it out of nowhere.
Yeah, but they already knew it.
What does the title mean again?
Nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana.
That means, like, nobody knows what's going to happen tomorrow.
I guess, yeah.
Nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow.
Yeah, nobody knows.
It became the most streamed album in a single day
this year on Spotify.
It's already breaking all these records.
Congratulations.
Gracias, gracias.
It's great. It is so great.
Feels good. 22 tracks. It's unbelievable.
You had a listening party in Puerto Rico,
and here's your entrance.
16,000 people, you entered,
you came from the roof in a Rolls Royce.
I mean, being lowered from the ceiling,
were you scared at all?
Un poquito, a little bit.
Yeah, but I had fun.
Yeah, you always do fun things, by the way.
I know I saw for the video from Monaco,
you had a special guest with you over at...
Who's that?
I'm talking about Al Pacino.
Oh, look. Yeah.
That's some chavvy, bud.
You and Al Pacino,
you even included a little moment in this video,
which I wanted to show everyone, just a little piece.
Can we take a look at this?
How's it going?
Playing games. What else is new?
Hey, you're doing great, man.
You really are doing great.
He's charging it up.
He wrote a song.
You never know what tomorrow brings.
Do-do-do-do.
Never know what tomorrow takes from you.
Come on, that's Al Pacino.
That was amazing.
That was a great experience working with Al Pacino.
I was very excited.
How did you get hooked up with Al Pacino?
Well, I don't know if people know,
Al Pacino is my uncle.
Oh, my gosh. I didn't know that.
That's amazing. I didn't know that at all.
Before he met me.
No, I don't know how we connect with him,
but I'm very grateful because that was a dream come true.
Yeah, yeah. He's a legend. He's the best.
Yeah, he's a legend. I love his movies.
Skull Face, Godfather, I love him.
Yeah, everything he does.
That was a very special day for me.
You just released that you have this afternoon, actually.
You announced that you're going on tour again.
I did?
Yes. You have to. Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes. It's happening this next year.
I think in February. Yeah, you'll be over North America.
Yes. I'm very happy.
Yeah, but isn't that work for you?
Isn't that like, do you like performing and going on tour?
I love perform.
Yeah, of course I love perform.
I think I love to create at the studio,
but I think the perform to the people
is my favorite thing about the music.
Why?
Like, what part?
Is it when people sing the song back to you?
Yes. I think that's the best feeling ever.
Like, uh...
-♪♪ Escuchar a la gente cantar las canciones ♪♪
-♪♪ Sentirla pa' mi eso es lo más cabrón real ♪♪
And I miss it. I miss it.
Yeah? Yeah.
We need you, bud. It's great.
Since we've known each other, you just watch your career
just go skyrocketing. It's awesome.
I'm so happy for you.
There's actually college courses teaching about you at colleges.
Bad Bunny, Race, Gender, and Empire in Reggaeton
at Wellesley College.
Bad Bunny and Resistance in Puerto Rico.
This is Loyola Marymount University.
Would you...
Did you ever think that you were going to be taught
a course at a school?
Isn't that cool?
That's a very crazy thing.
I'm still...
Yo todavía no lo creo.
A veces como que la gente...
Someday people came to me like,
um, yeah, I'm taking this class about you.
And I'm like, what? Like, really?
I don't know. Feels weird.
But I would love to take one of those classes.
You'll be really good.
I think I would get an A.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You would get an A in that course.
You know everything about Bad Bunny.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
I didn't get a chance to tell you
how great you were at the Grammys, by the way.
This is you opening up the Grammys.
Before you won your third Grammy.
Congratulations.
But I heard that this wasn't supposed to be
the opening of the Grammys. Is that true?
That's true. How do you know?
Because I did research.
Okay.
Al Pacino's my uncle.
That's true. That's true.
It wasn't supposed to be the opening act.
But I think, I don't know,
I guess that the producer saw it at the rehearsal
and he said, like, this is the best thing I've ever done.
When you do those shows, award shows,
is it a little bit different crowd
because you see Taylor Swift and Jack Harlow dancing to you?
I don't care. It's fine.
It's fine. It's the same.
Is that the same as when you...
It's the same. Taylor Swift just likes
to dance to everybody's music.
So I know she's going to be hoping.
Yeah. She'll be there for you.
She'll be moving around for you.
When you do that or when you do Yankee Stadium, by the way.
Did you...
I prefer Yankee Stadium, of course.
How did that feel?
That was another very special day in my life
because New York always feels like special, feels like home.
Yeah. Like, it's weird.
It's something very special being far from you,
from Puerto Rico, but feels like you are in home.
There's a lot of Puerto Rican.
There's a lot of Dominicans.
Y la comunidad latina entera.
So every New York show is a very special show to me.
And the New York Yankee Stadium
was something that I'm never going to forget.
She's sold out shows. Not too shabby, bud.
Now you're taking part of another iconic part of New York.
You're hosting a musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Double duty. Double whammy.
Double down, man. That is a lot of work.
It's a lot of work. How does it feel, though, going in?
Have you got some funny sketches?
Yeah. Yeah. But I need to sleep.
No, no. This is when you have to just stay awake
because that's the whole secret of Saturday Night Live.
It's like when I was on that show,
I went to bed every night at probably 3 in the morning
just so that when it's 11.30, I'm like ready to go.
I would sleep during the day, man.
No, it's crazy. But I've been enjoying the process.
All the cast, the producer, the writers,
the vibe is a very cool vibe, so I'm grateful.
And I'm very excited about this Saturday.
Yeah. This Saturday, yeah. Couple of days.
We're already getting the word down
that everyone loves you up there,
and you're just like, dude, he's the nicest guy.
Everyone's freaking out, and they're like,
it's a great, funny show. So congrats.
We'll all be watching.
No, it'll be great.
We'll be watching Bad Bunny.
Check him out on Saturday Night Live.
We'll be right back with Charli D'Amelio.
Stick around, everybody, now.
