Bad Bunny<\/a> has been sued over a voice recording sampled on \u201cSolo de Mi\u201d and \u201cEoO\u201d\u2014companion songs featured on 2018\u2019s X 100pre<\/em><\/a> and last year\u2019s Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em><\/a>\u2014Billboard<\/em><\/a> reports. The plaintiff, Tainaly Y. Serrano Rivera, claims producer Roberto Rosado solicited the recording from her when they were theater students at the Interamerican University of Arecibo. The lawsuit argues that Rivera, having never agreed to its commercial use or signed a contract, is entitled to $16 million in privacy violation and publicity rights, on the basis that Bad Bunny plays the sample in-concert and has used it to sell merchandise. Rosado and Bad Bunny\u2019s label Rimas are also named as defendants.<\/p>\n The lyric in question\u2014\u201cMira, pu\u00f1eta, no me quiten el perreo\u201d\u2014literally translates as \u201cDamn, don\u2019t take away my perreo!,\u201d referring to the reggaeton subgenre. But, as Tatiana Lee Rodriguez<\/a> writes in Pitchfork\u2019s review of Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em>, it is \u201cmore like the Boricua version of \u2018Bitch, don\u2019t kill my vibe!\u2019\u201d The lyric has become a meme, frequently appearing on social media and message boards.<\/p>\n This is not the first time Bad Bunny has been sued for sampled voice recordings. In 2023, his ex-girlfriend Carliz de la Cruz Hern\u00e1ndez launched<\/a> a legal battle\u2014still ongoing\u2014over the alleged use of her voice without permission on two songs.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny\u2019s representatives did not immediately respond to request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
