Bad Bunny is one of the biggest performers out right now and on top of it he’s linked to dating Kendal Jenner. So what could go wrong?
Carliz De La Cruz Hernández who dated Bad Bunny and provides the breathy “Bad Bunny, baby” used in two of BB’s songs, says the voice over is being used without her permission. She’s seeking $40m.
Carliz claimed in a lawsuit filed this month in a Puerto Rico court that she did not give permission to use the voice. Nor was she compensated.
The lawsuit states that De La Cruz’s “distinguishable voice” also has been used without her consent for songs, records, promotions, worldwide concerts, television, radio and social and musical platforms.
“Since then, thousands of people have commented directly on Carliz’s social media networks, as well as every time she goes to a public place, about the ‘Bad Bunny, baby.’ This has caused, and currently causes, that De La Cruz feels worried, anguished, intimidated, overwhelmed and anxious,” the lawsuit states.
Also sued is Noah Kamil Assad Byrne, manager for Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio.
This could be a big pay day for her if this is all accurate.
