Bad Bunny still has a bad taste in his mouth over the 2023 Grammys.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the Puerto Rican singer opened up about the controversy surrounding his performance and album of the year nod.

The performer received three Grammy nominations for Un Verano Sin Ti, including album of the year. The historic nomination made the LP the first Spanish-language album nominated in the category. Although he won the best música urbana album award, he lost the big one of the night to Harry Styles.

“Maybe they weren’t ready for a Spanish-language album to win the big prize,” he said.

“I didn’t even feel like [album of the year] had been stolen from me until the media started saying [it],” he added. “I saw that everybody thought I deserved the prize and everybody thought it was a robbery…. That’s when they kind of convinced me and I said, ‘Well, yes, it was a robbery then.'”

The performer opened the ceremony with a mashup of “El Apagon” and “Despues De La Play” off Un Verano Sin Ti. As Blavity previously reported, during his culture-rich performance, the CBS-assisted telecast fumbled with a lack of Spanish captioning.

Fans who watched at home tweeted their anger as the Spanish-language songs were not shown in English or Spanish on-screen but rather shown as “singing in non-English.” Bunny caught the flub during a rebroadcast and was not happy.
