Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny has thrilled his fans with an intense marketing campaign to promote his new album, 'DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.' The superstar has been making headlines across Puerto Rico, not as the subject of the news but as the one delivering it.

On the morning of January 7, Bad Bunny shocked fans, especially Puerto Ricans, when he appeared on the morning segment of the news program 'NotiCentro'. However, instead of participating as a normal guest, Benito Antonio "Bad Bunny" Martínez Ocasio joined the panel of journalists as a news anchor for the whole show.

What initially seemed like a brief cameo was in reality a program-wide appearance. The artist presented major news stories, including a meeting between outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden and Venezuela's president-elect, Edmundo González.

"After the meeting, González described the discussion as long and productive. He also thanked the Biden administration for its support and emphasized ongoing communication with incoming President Donald Trump's team," Bad Bunny reported during the broadcast.

The singer also covered local news, including a brawl at a restaurant and updates on Puerto Rico's school year kickoff. He even delivered the weather forecast, adding his signature sense of humor to the segment.

The show later surprised Bad Bunny with special guest, Jacobo Morales, a filmmaker who recently collaborated with him. Morales plays a central role in the short film released alongside the artist's new album.

'DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS' delves into his Puerto Rican identity and addresses pressing issues on the island, including gentrification and its political status as a U.S. territory.

During the broadcast Morales praised Bad Bunny's dedication to social and political issues in Puerto Rico.

"This young man's starting point is entertainment, the desire to reach all audiences, but he does so while maintaining a strong commitment to social issues. That's essential, and Benito embodies it," said Morales.

The 30-year-old artist responded by expressing his admiration for Morales, calling it a dream to collaborate with such an influential figure. He highlighted the passion they share for their homeland and the arts.

Bad Bunny's unexpected role as a news presenter thrilled fans and casual viewers alike. With his latest move, the artist continues to redefine his career, merging music, culture, and activism in surprising ways.
