Bad Bunny is facing a $16 million lawsuit from a woman who claims her voice was used without permission in two of his songs.
The lawsuit, filed Jan. 5 in Puerto Rico, was filed by Tainaly Y. Serrano Rivera, who claims her vote for Solo de Mi from Bad Bunny’s 2018 album X100pre and beyond EoO from his 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
Rivera claims the recordings were made at the request of Roberto Rosado, the longtime producer of Bad Bunny, also known as La Paciencia, in 2018.
She says she was never informed that her voice would be used commercially, nor did she sign a contract allowing its use.
On the audio in question, Rivera says, “Mira, puñeta, no me quitn el perrero,” which roughly translates to “Listen, damn it, don’t take away my vibe.” Rivera claims the phrase has become closely associated with Bad Bunny, which appears in his concerts and merchandise.
The lawsuit seeks $16 million in damages from both Bad Bunny, born Benito Martínez Ocasio, and his record label Rimas Entertainment, for alleged violations of her privacy and publicity rights.
Both the artist and his label must respond to the claims in court in May.
This legal action follows a similar case from nearly three years ago, in which Bad Bunny’s ex-girlfriend, Carliz de La Cruz Hernández, filed a $40 million lawsuit claiming he used her voice on the songs without permission. Dad Ti And Dos Mil 16.
Rivera is represented by the same attorneys handling Hernández’s case: Jose Marxuach Fagot and Joanna Bocanegra.
