Rapper Bad Bunny is one of the biggest stars in the game. From No. 1 albums like El \u00daltimo Tour del Mundo to such global smash hits as \u201cI Like It\u201d and \u201cDakiti,\u201d he\u2019s left an indelible mark on the genre. And he shows no signs of slowing down. In his career, he\u2019s amassed millions of records sold and collaborated with a slew of big names, including Cardi B, Drake, and Jennifer Lopez, among many others. There\u2019s a reason his name is on everyone\u2019s lips these days. All things considered, this newest distinction isn\u2019t too surprising. In their new 30 Under 30 issue, Forbes magazine named Bad Bunny the new King of Pop. Bad Bunny being named the new King of Pop leaves fans angry When news of the cover broke on November 27, fans were not happy. On Twitter\/X, many reminded the magazine that the King of Pop crown still belongs to Michael Jackson, while others called out Bad Bunny for not even being known in countless countries across the world. \u201cThat\u2019s a big reach! Your arms must be hurting,\u201d wrote a fan. \u201cStop this narrative. He is nowhere near iconic status.\u201d \u201cKing of Pop with what talent, impact, and global reach? He\u2019s not even a Pop artist,\u201d wrote Taziri. \u201cThat crown ain\u2019t going anywhere (no matter how many times the press tries to force into whoever is the flavor of the month), buddy,\u201d added another user. Delav\u00ede noted the disrespect to Latino culture, writing, \u201cIn no way shape or form is Bad Bunny a \u2018Pop Artist.\u2019 You can literally Google his genre. It\u2019s Latino Urbano, and his music should be acknowledged as such out of respect for our culture.\u201d \u201cPreviously held\u201d \u2014 Ricardo Matos (@thehitman29) November 27, 2023 That crown ain\u2019t going anywhere (no matter how many times the press tries to force into whoever is the flavor of the month), buddy. There is only one King. pic.twitter.com\/Ex3vPiXUsr They do anything to not acknowledge Latino Culture fully. In no way shape or form is Bad Bunny a \u201cPop Artist\u201d. You can literally Google his genre. It\u2019s Latino Urbano, and his music should be acknowledged as such out of respect for our culture. \u2014 Delav\u00ede (@Delaviemusic) November 28, 2023 It\u2019s a form of white washing to\u2026 Another fan pointed out the trend of forcing \u201ca \u2018new king of pop\u2019 every month just for clicks and outrage engagement. It\u2019s getting boring.\u201d Other uses agreed. \u201cThis is probably the 50th time since Michael Jackson passed that a media outlet has proclaimed someone as the \u2018new King of Pop.\u2019 Pure click bait,\u201d wrote a fan. \u201cforbes is slowly losing all of its credibility,\u201d MinajMinistry added. You guys at the media try to force a &#8220;&#8221;new king of pop&#8221;&#8221; every month just for clicks and outrage engagement. It&#8217;s getting boring. MJ is the only king of pop. Period. \u2014 Justice for The Falsely Accused (@JuliaBerkowitz1) November 27, 2023 Bad Bunny might not be the new \u201cKing of Pop,\u201d but he has achieved greatness in his own way. Perhaps, time will tell if he rightfully earns such a distinction.
