The lead singer of Maná, Fher Olvera, sparked controversy once again by openly criticizing reggaeton and Bad Bunny during a concert in Mexico.
“It’s not like reggaeton here. Here we actually write lyrics. Not like Bugs Bunny,” the performer said, eliciting laughter from the audience while referring to Bad Bunny. The artist's words sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting his stance and others criticizing him for his disrespect towards another artist.
This is not the first time the leader of Maná has openly criticized reggaeton or Bad Bunny. In previous interviews, he had already pointed out that the urban genre lacks creativity and depth in its lyrics, although he acknowledged the Puerto Rican's success.
"Bad Bunny has reached places that no Latino has reached, and that is commendable, but that doesn’t mean I have to like him," she stated in an interview, dismissing any possibility of collaborating with the reggaeton artist.
Although Bad Bunny has never openly commented on Fher's words, following the viral spread of a video of the Maná singer at one of his recent concerts, another urban artist has reacted to the criticism.
It was the singer Ñejo who reminded everyone on Instagram that the group has a song with Nicky Jam. "I don't understand," he wrote beneath the post along with a snippet of the track where they share credits.
