With this being Hispanic Heritage Month, you may want to refresh your knowledge of one of the most influential singers around today—Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny. He has had a tremendous impact on the music industry in a very short time, and just in case you need proof of that, head to Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, where one of his wax figures is displayed. (He has others in New York and Orlando, Fla.)
Known almost as much for his songs as for the way he presents himself (in both his wardrobe and social stances), Bad Bunny’s most recent wax figure, in which he’s posed in front of a purple semi decked out with flames, was inspired not only by the album cover for El Último Tour Del Mundo, but by his outfit, hair and jewelry from the 2021 American Music Awards.
The figure was unveiled a few months ago to coincide with the Latin Music Awards, where he won awards for Album of the Year and Best Album—Urban for Un Verano Sin Ti and Best Song—Urban for “Tití Me Preguntó.”
Gabriel Hewitt, general manager for Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, said the most recent figure was not only to celebrate the nominations, but to congratulate and honor Bad Bunny for being the first Latin artist to headline Coachella. “He’s having such an incredible year, and we’re excited to be a part of his success by revealing his third figure.”
Go grab a selfie with the man whose songs like “La Cancion,” “Dime Si Te Acuerdas” and “Mía” helped bring reggaeton and trap music to a wider audience. Then share it on Instagram to make your friends jealous.
