In the midst of the frenzy surrounding the series of concerts that Bad Bunny is offering in Puerto Rico, Lucy Vives, daughter of Colombian singer Carlos Vives and Puerto Rican model Herlinda Gómez, shared a story on Instagram expressing her fatigue at seeing the urban artist constantly appear on her social media.
"Does anyone know how to make Bad Bunny stop appearing in my feeds?", he wrote, initiating a broader reflection on the cultural representation of Puerto Rico. “Long live Puerto Rico, but our identity is more than just the face of one man and the materials that only he sells,” he added.
Far from seeking controversy, Lucy clarified that her message is not against the artist, but rather against the way the media highlights a single figure above the diversity of voices and talents from the island. “I love Puerto Rican representation; we have an island full of talent, and my feeds used to showcase that variety. I feel that the focus of mainstream media is misplaced,” she stated.
In another part of his story, he delved into his concern: “There are things happening on the island that deserve more attention as we celebrate an artist raising the name of Borinquen, so that the message being shouted from our colony is not lost and the Island receives the support it needs, not just the messenger.”
Lucy Vives, born in Puerto Rico in 1996, is 28 years old. She is trained as a philosopher but has dedicated her career to music, art, and activism. She has worked on musical projects with her father, participated as a model in various campaigns, and is an active voice in the defense of women's rights and the LGBTIQ+ community.
For his part, Bad Bunny is about to conclude his residency No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí, during which he has given 30 consecutive concerts at the Coliseo de San Juan. He has only three performances left to complete this historic series of shows, where he has shared the stage with artists such as Ricky Martin, Belinda, Luis Fonsi, Ozuna, and Rauw Alejandro.
In one of his most recent shows, the singer twisted his leg while dancing, which compelled him to briefly leave the stage. However, he returned minutes later to finish the performance. "I will never get tired of thanking you, THANK YOU!" he wrote on his social media. With this residency, the artist is fulfilling one of his most personal dreams: performing at home, for his people.
