Bad Bunny Is Risking It All By Dating Kendall Jenner
Bad Bunny, currently the world's most popular Puerto Rican popstar, is on the outs with fans. Nearly everyone who follows Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio is enraged over his apparent relationship with Kendall Jenner, which was solidified on March 8 when the pair were seen kissing and it begs the question: is dating Kendall Jenner really worth it?
Now, maybe Bad Bunny and Kendall really just get along great. Maybe they just have so much in common! Unlikely, to be honest, given that Bad Bunny reportedly has only a loose grasp on English and Kendall famously does not speak Spanish: Bad Bunny fans have repeatedly pointed out that, despite owning a tequila brand, Kendall's Spanish is... well, let's just call it rudimentary.
And yet they're dating, apparently. Just goes to show that even the most unlikeliest couples can still come together, much to Bad Bunnny fans' chagrin.
In fact, it feels like Bad Bunny is risking everything to date Kendall Jenner. Every shred of public goodwill he's garnered up to this point — which is quite a lot, to be clear — is on the line here, as Bad Bunny fans are so tearfully making clear on Twitter.
They're taking the Bad Bunny/Kendall Jenner relationship as a personal affront, as if Bad Bunny's decision to date someone whose family is commonly associated with cultural appropriation and classlessness stands directly opposed to the values that he's willfully cultivated with his music.
It's a tough point to refute. What exactly got Bad Bunny and Kendall together if not their respective managers and PR teams trying to get each of them a bit of a boost from being in each other's company?
Thing is, it only gives Kendall access to Bad Bunny's general goodwill while it seemingly saps Bad Bunny's reputation as a thoughtful, likeable character.
Online, the discourse has shifted from fans bemoaning the apparent loss of the Bad Bunny they once knew towards snark about Kendall's lack of, well, everything.
Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner do make a terribly odd couple, to be fair. They don't even like the same shoes: Kendall Jenner wears Nikes, Bad Bunny reps adidas.
Now that they've been spotted in a well-lit, seemingly intentional paparazzi shot, it's only a matter of time until Bad Bunny and Kendall take their furtive relationship public, thus stirring the pot further and bringing new heat to the firestorm that's erupted around them.
