Bad Bunny's statement performance was just after he won the VMA artist of the year award, beating out Harry Styles, Drake, Lizzo, Ed Sheeran, Jack Harlow, and Lil Nas X. The 28-year-old made history that night as he's now the first non-English language musician to win the award.

Bad Bunny is famous for his amazing music but also for his constant disregard for the status quo by challenging the toxic masculinity culture in the Latin community. Through his music and fashion, he has tried severally to dismantle the culture and pushed for better treatment for women and the LGBTQ+ community.

During a 2020 cover story interview with Playboymagazine, Bad Bunny said, "I think that sex is a giant world, and everyone is free to see it as they want and do it with whoever they want, however they want, with infinite possibilities. In the end, we are human beings. Everybody feels, everybody falls in love with whoever they're meant to."

In March 2020, Bad Bunny trended worldwide when he released the video for his song, "Yo Perreo Sola." In the video, the rapper dressed in drag outfits, a style that is not generally accepted in the Latin community.

During his GQ cover story interview in May, Bad Bunny spoke about his evolving personal style and said that he has no rulebook regarding fashion. He said, "It depends on my state of mind. Everybody has to feel comfortable with what they are and how they feel. Like, what defines a man, what defines being masculine, what defines being feminine? I really can't give clothes gender."

The "Moscow Mule" singer added, "To me, a dress is a dress. If I wear a dress, would it stop being a woman's dress? Or vice versa? Like, no. It's a dress, and that's it. It's not a man's, it's not a woman's. It's a dress."

During the GQ interview, Bad Bunny also revealed that when he started making music, it wasn't for the music charts or worldwide fame and success but for his people. He explained that his career growth and fame happened organically.

Bad Bunny said, "I was never on a mission to be like, 'Oh, this is what I'm going to do.' It happened organically. Like, I've never made a song saying, 'This is going to go worldwide.' I never made a song thinking, 'Man, this is for the world. This is to capture the gringo audience.' Never."

He also explained that his music is directly targeted at Puerto Ricans; the world is just a bonus. He said, "On the contrary, I make songs as if only Puerto Ricans were going to listen to them. I still think I'm there making music, and it's for Puerto Ricans. I forget the entire world listens to me."
