Bad Bunny<\/strong> is on top of the world (and rightfully so)!<\/p>\n

The Latin superstar, who is nominated for a whopping 14 2020 Billboard Latin Music Awards<\/a>, stopped by E!’s Daily Pop<\/em> Monday to talk about his new album, activism and so much more.<\/p>\n

“I feel so good, I feel amazing. I’m so happy,” the “Ignorantes” singer told Justin Sylvester<\/a><\/strong> and Erin Lim<\/a><\/strong>. “I think that I am in the happiest moment of my career. So I’m enjoying the process.”<\/p>\n

The crooner, born Benito Mart\u00ednez Ocasio<\/strong>, revealed the adorable origin story of his stage name with proof from an adorable childhood photo. “Bad Bunny, that name comes from a picture when I was a kid. I think that I was six years old,” he dished before showing a precious pic of himself in a white bunny costume. “I was so mad. That was Easter day in the school and the teacher picked me to dress up.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Bad Bunny also opened up about his recent Tonight Show<\/em> performance in which he honored Alexa Negr\u00f3n Luciano<\/strong>, a transgender woman who was killed in his home of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

“In the moment I felt that I wanted to say something about it and I did it. It’s about…from my heart,” he explained, adding that it’s always “so important” to spread awareness about issues happening in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

As for his just-released album YHLQMDLG<\/em>, Bad Bunny dished, “It’s a happy album to dance and to have fun.”<\/p>\n

When he quizzed Erin and Justin about the meaning of his album title, Justin shocked the singer with the correct answer translated from Spanish to English: “I can do whatever I want.”<\/p>\n

“It’s how I feel right now in my life, in my music, that I can do whatever I want,” he added. “You can do whatever you want.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
