Bad Bunny joined presenter Rege-Jean Page on Saturday Night Live stage as the musical guest this weekend, where he sang his hit “La Noche De Anoche” with Rosalia, as well as another song from his last album The Last Tour del World. The latter broke a record, earning him the first studio LP entirely in Spanish to be listed in the Billboard Top 200.
The artist’s fans were thrilled by the appearance of SNL, especially after Rosália’s appearance was provoked. The performance itself did not disappoint and some even pointed out the chemistry between the two performers.

Before the presentation, Bad Bunny’s name also inspired some laughs as the host and Melissa Villaseñor of SNL cast had a brainstorming of similar nicknames in a new promotion. “I think I’m going to call it ‘Bad Melissa’ now,” said Villaseñor, a SNL cast member known for his impressions. “Cool, I’ll call it ‘Regé-Jean Bunny”, Page jokes in response. “Bad Bunny is already cool, so I’m going to keep it,” says the Reggaeton star.
In the end, fans were very pleased with Bad Bunny’s presence on SNL. Many did not hesitate to say that they could not understand the lyrics, but they were still delighted with the presentation. It is safe to say that your success so far is not a surprise.
