A few days ago, Bad Bunny began his new concert tour with his The Most Wanted Tour 2024, which for now will take place in several cities in the United States. In obedience to the concept of his most recent record production, the Puerto Rican ragpicker dressed in a blue cowboy suit and entered his show on a horse.
The clips of the moment immediately went viral on social networks such as TikTok or X, formerly Twitter, thus revealing important sections of the show.
In this regard, the organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) launched criticism against the singer for having used said animal in his concert. And now Pepe Aguilar also joins the criticism, although for a totally different issue. What did the singer say?
Pepe Aguilar attacks Bad Bunny
The regional Mexican singer appeared on Maxine Woodside’s Todo para la mujer program and during his visit he was asked to express his opinion on the subject of Bad Bunny on horseback and PETA’s disapproving reviews.
For Pepe Aguilar, a man born in the United States, but raised on a ranch in Zacatecas, riding a horse is an everyday thing. Something that comes naturally. Reason why he detected that the “Ojitos Lindos” singer has no idea how it is done.
“It’s okay, man, he shouldn’t have done it because he doesn’t know how to ride and he looked bad. Since he doesn’t know how to ride, he has no idea,” said the artist during the interview.
Regarding the criticism made by PETA, the singer is somewhat more flexible. And according to said organization, the reggaeton artist should not have taken the animal to an environment full of noise, lights, smoke and thousands of people in a sea of screams.
“The horse was not nervous, he was calmer than us right now. Those at PETA, with all due respect, have to know what to get into because that horse was not in any trouble, or what? Did they get into the horse’s head to feel the nerves that he felt due to the smoke and the air of the sand? Please, let’s not talk about horseplay, the horse didn’t have the problem. Bad Bunny has the problem because he doesn’t know how to ride and he looked terrible without knowing how to ride, terrible,” he said.
If you are wondering what were the signals made by Benito Martínez, the artist’s real name, that revealed his lack of experience in the ring, Pepe Aguilar has the answer and a detailed explanation:
“[Bad Bunny] He was holding on to the head of the chair, it seemed like he was going to go to one side, like he was going to fall. “The only one who was at risk there was him, there was no one else at risk but him.”
“PETA people sometimes overdo it,” he commented. And by the way he assured that he has never had problems with them because he treats all of his horses better than his own children. Ángela Aguilar has neither confirmed nor denied said information.
For his part, Bad Bunny will continue his tour of North America, while Mexican and Latin fans hope that the singer will soon announce his visit to these territories.
