Bad Bunny pays homage to his native island with the release of his sixth solo album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos (out Sunday, Jan. 5), a celebration of Puerto Rican culture and history.

“I’ve been dreaming about this album for years, and seeing it come to life has brought me immense happiness,” Bad Bunny said in a press release. “I’ve always been honest with my followers, and through this new production, they’ll continue to learn more about me as I, too, discover more about myself. This album is the result of the experiences that have led me to get to know myself better, even getting to know the rhythms I enjoy most — the ones I truly enjoy singing and creating.”

The 17-track album showcases a lineup of Puerto Rican talent, including collaborative efforts with Chuwi, Dei V, Omar Courtz, Pleneros de la Cresta and RaiNao. He brings traditional Afro-Puerto Rican styles like plena and jíbara with contemporary reggaetón and synths, with the help of MAG, Tainy, La Paciencia and emerging beat makers Big Jay and Saox.

“I am Puerto Rican, I am Caribbean, and my music, my culture, my country’s history run through my veins, from plena to reggaetón,” Benito added. “At the peak of my career and popularity, I want to show the world who I am, who BENITO ANTONIO is, and who PUERTO RICO is.”

Debí Tirar Más Fotos follows the unparalleled success of his previous albums — Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020) — which all soared to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making Bad Bunny the only Latin artist to achieve this milestone.

U.K.’s Jewish Leadership Council Calls Three-Night Kanye West Booking at Wireless Festival ‘Deeply Irresponsible’

The group was joined by the Campaign Against Antisemitism in their condemnation of the booking of rapper who has repeatedly embraced pro-Nazi messaging and once sold swastika t-shirts.

The U.K.’s Jewish Leadership Council has issued a statement condemning the Wireless Festival for booking Ye (formerly Kanye West) as the headliner of all three nights (July 10-12) of the this year’s event at Finsbury Park in London. A spokesperson for the Council told the Guardian, “It is deeply irresponsible for Wireless festival to be headlining Kanye West. The UK Jewish community is facing record levels of antisemitism, including a terrorist attack in Manchester, the attack on ambulances in Golders Green and foiled plots which would have killed many more.”

West has a long history of making antisemitic statements, from releasing a song called “Heil Hitler,” to selling T-shirts with swastikas on them and declaring himself a Nazi.
