During a recent performance in Mexico, Fher Olvera, the frontman of the well-known band Maná, sparked controversy by openly criticizing reggaeton and Bad Bunny. "This isn't like reggaeton. We actually write lyrics here. Bugs Bunny can’t do that," he said, drawing laughter from the audience with his playful jab at Bad Bunny.
His comments have ignited a mixed response on social media, with some users supporting his viewpoint while others accused him of disrespecting another artist. This isn't Olvera's first outburst against reggaeton or Bad Bunny. In past interviews, he has criticized urban music for lacking creativity and depth in its lyrics, although he acknowledged the Puerto Rican singer's success.
“Bad Bunny has reached places where no other Latin artist has, and that deserves recognition, but that doesn't mean I have to like it,” he stated in an interview, firmly rejecting the idea of collaborating with the reggaeton star.
While Bad Bunny has yet to respond publicly to Fher's comments, a different urban artist has reacted to the criticism. It was singer Ñejo who took to Instagram to remind fans that Maná has a song featuring Nicky Jam. "I don't understand," he wrote, posting a snippet of the track where they share credits.
