Key Facts of the Lawsuit

The lawsuit filed on January 5, 2026, alleges that Bad Bunny’s producer La Paciencia (Roberto Rosado) requested the recording in 2018 without proper contracts or disclosure about commercial use. The phrase has become a signature element of Bad Bunny’s performances and merchandise, according to court documents.
