Bad Bunny is about to begin his 10-concert residency at Madrid’s Metropolitan Stadium. This will begin this weekend, on Saturday, May 30, and will coincide with the Pope’s visit, so the Spanish capital will be packed with parishioners. All types of parishioners. This is what Pedro Ruiz commented in a TikTok video.
The controversial presenter, known for having been one of the most recognizable faces on Spanish television between the 70s and 2000s, reflects on idols, ensuring that Bad Bunny is an example: “When idols are missing in official life, there are many people who need to have an idol, and he has become an extraordinary idol for millions of viewers,” commented the presenter.
He describes the Pope as “the leader of the faith and followers of Catholicism.” As for Bad Bunny, the parallel is clear: “In another way, which has nothing to do with it, he has become, to put it quickly, the Pope of reggaeton.” Although Ruiz assures that he does not listen to his music, he does applaud his “ability to get involved in certain issues and respond to power, which is very good.”
After citing the music of Serrat, Luz Casal, Jorge Drexler and Manuel Carrasco, Ruiz dismisses the video by clarifying that “Bad Bunny’s success, which is due to his work, is also due to the lack of idols of another nature.”
