In recent days, social media has been buzzing with a humorous and satirical rumor claiming that billionaire Elon Musk offered Bad Bunny $67 million if the artist agreed to change his stage name to Good Bunny. In a widely shared mock interview from “FUX NEWS,” Musk is quoted saying that he has “no problem with Bad Bunny personally” and even thinks the singer “is a great guy,” but insists that the name sends the wrong message. “Bunnies are good by nature,” he allegedly said. “Calling yourself ‘Bad Bunny’ just sends the wrong message to everyone, especially very impressionable kids.”
Although clearly intended as a joke or publicity-style meme, the story quickly spread across platforms, sparking reactions from fans and casual observers alike. Some users found the idea hilarious, while others defended Bad Bunny and pointed out how the name has become an essential part of his artistic identity.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most influential Latin artists of the decade. Emerging from Puerto Rico, he revolutionized the global music scene with his fusion of reggaeton, Latin trap, and experimental pop. His albums consistently top international charts, he has earned multiple Grammy Awards, and his tours sell out stadiums worldwide. The moniker “Bad Bunny” has long been a playful symbol of his rebellious, quirky, and creative persona—far from a literal description of anything “bad.”
The viral rumor also coincides with increasing speculation that Bad Bunny may be involved in an upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show, one of the most prestigious and widely watched music stages in the world. If confirmed, it would mark another major milestone in his career, following a string of historic achievements and collaborations across genres. Fans joke that if he ever accepted Musk’s fictional offer and became “Good Bunny,” he might attract an even broader audience for the show.
While the name-change offer is nothing more than an online satire, it once again highlights Bad Bunny’s cultural impact and his uncanny ability to dominate conversations—whether through groundbreaking music or simply by being the subject of the internet’s latest viral story.
