Bad Bunny, the man behind the beats and rhymes, could’ve been flipping burgers instead of spitting bars! If the music scene didn’t open its doors to him, he might have been the next Gordon Ramsay… or at least his Puerto Rican equivalent.
In a hilarious twist of fate, the 29-year-old maestro of reggaeton confessed that if his musical dreams had fizzled out like a flat soda, he’d have donned an apron and whisked his way into the culinary world. In an interview with none other than actor Benicio Del Toro for Interview magazine, Bad Bunny spilled the beans – pun intended – about his secret passion for cooking up a storm.
“I mean, imagine me in a chef’s hat instead of this iconic bunny bling,” he quipped. “Cooking seemed like a blast. Sure, recipes are cool and all, but the real fun is inventing your own dishes, giving taste buds a rollercoaster ride they’ll never forget!”
Before you start picturing him as the next top chef, let’s rewind a bit. Despite his kitchen ambitions, Bad Bunny’s heart beats to the rhythm of music. “I always had stars in my eyes for this music thing,” he confessed. “I’d rush home from school, ditch the textbooks, and dive straight into making beats on my computer. Beats over textbooks any day, right?”
But being the practical dude he is, Bunny decided to hedge his bets. He figured, why not pursue a college education, just in case the whole music gig didn’t pan out? “I wasn’t about to sit around twiddling my thumbs, waiting for fame to knock on my door,” he joked. “I even had a side hustle bagging groceries just to keep the gas tank filled!”
And here’s the cherry on top of this crazy cake: Bunny’s squad isn’t just his entourage; they’re his ride-or-die crew from way back when. Yep, his childhood pals are his backbone, his support system, his partners in crime. “Who needs fame when you’ve got your day-one homies by your side?” he mused. “I’m telling you, sharing success with your besties beats flying solo any day!”
Bad Bunny, the culinary kingpin in an alternate universe, serving up hits instead of hors d’oeuvres. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll see him cooking up a storm on TV – but for now, let’s stick to jamming out to his tunes and leaving the cooking to the professionals!
