The Colombian dismissed fan theories that pointed out that it was a response to the Puerto Rican.
In the last Las Vegas Grand Prix, the penultimate race of the 2023 Formula 1 season, J Balvin was the only artist to perform twice. And for the Colombian it was the opportunity to participate as a global musician and show his most recent single, ‘Amigos’, on the Sphere forum.
“J Balvin doesn’t need more friends,” was read on the screen and there were fans who interpreted it as a response to Bad Bunny. In ‘Thunder and Lightning’, one of the Puerto Rican’s most recent songs, there is a verse that says “You’ve seen me, I’m always with the same people/ While you are friends with everyone like Balvin.”
However, the Colombian clarified that his single is not an answer and has nothing to do with the ‘Bad Rabbit’. “I do not have time for that. I feel a lot of love for the boy. The friend I met at that time was amazing, you know? “So, he might be going through something.”
“I see him as a little brother, so it’s like being mad at your little brother, so I’m not going to take it personally,” emphasizing that ‘Friends’ is not an answer.
What the new single is, is Balvin’s return to what is called “romantic reggaeton,” and which represents “the roots of the Colombian.” “It was the fault of the routine, that ours got screwed up. “I had to let you go even though it hurt me,” the Colombian sings in this new work.
