Global icon Bad Bunny isn’t holding back when it comes to his connection with Peru. His latest message after returning to Lima reads like a personal love letter filled with gratitude, nostalgia, and emotional honesty. Bad Bunny made one thing clear right away: this connection runs deep.
“Peru is key… it’s not an empty phrase, it’s a fact,” he wrote, immediately setting the tone. He pointed to years of memories as proof. “I have many anecdotes and stories that shaped my life and my career while being in this wonderful country.” That history goes back to 2017, when he first began visiting Peru, long before his current global dominance.

What surprised even him was how different this visit felt. “This time felt different,” he admitted. “It felt like a love with more trust, like we already know each other and will always be connected—not because it’s trendy, but because it’s our thing.”

Bad Bunny highlighted how meaningful it was to perform his salsa tracks in Peru. “I was very excited to sing with you again, especially my salsa songs, knowing that you love them and that you’ve always embraced artists from my homeland.” That line speaks directly to cultural alignment.
Peru’s long-standing appreciation for Caribbean sounds, especially from Puerto Rico, creates a natural connection. And for Bad Bunny, that validation hits differently. “Your approval meant a lot to me, and the way you sang showed it all.”
A Mood Shift He Didn’t See Coming
One of the most revealing parts of his message is how candid he was about his mindset before arriving. “I’ll admit that before arriving in Lima my mood wasn’t the best…”What happened next clearly caught him off guard. “But the energy you gave me from the very first night was something else. Damn!” he wrote in Spanish.

Gratitude, Joy, and a Personal Touch
Bad Bunny closed his message with raw appreciation: “Peru, thank you for welcoming me once again with so much love and kindness. THANK YOU ❤️🤍❤️”
Then came a small but memorable detail that made the entire message feel even more personal: “Fun fact: ‘Peru’ has been one of my favorite words since I was little.”
