Rumors are circulating in celebrity circles that Ricky Martin may feel uneasy about Bad Bunny’s recent surge in popularity. Some unnamed sources suggest that the 53-year-old pop icon is watching as Bad Bunny’s career flourishes in Hollywood. The “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” artist is gaining momentum and attention in the global music scene.
Ricky Martin feels overshadowed by Bad Bunny
A recent story by Shuter Scoop points to insiders who allege that Martin sees Bad Bunny’s rising stardom as a challenge. There is talk that the veteran singer has been quietly observing the rapper’s dominance.
Bad Bunny’s steady rise in stardom has quietly frustrated Martin. Bunny’s charismatic and media-friendly personality allegedly overshadows Martin and earns the rapper major attention from fans. One insider notes, “Everywhere Ricky goes, it’s all about Bad Bunny. Ricky used to be the center of attention; now he’s chasing it.”
Sources claim that the 53-year-old Latin pop star’s recent thirst trap selfie was no coincidence. In the photo, he posed naked in front of his bathroom mirror, showcasing his abs and toned physique. Martin reportedly planned the post to reassert his dominance as a leading Latin pop star. He also wanted to remind fans of his lasting presence.
Martin reportedly sees Bunny doing the same and believes he can do it better than the 31-year-old rapper. “He wants the world to remember he’s still got it,” another source told Shuter Scoop.
Hollywood is currently courting Bunny for top-tier endorsements, major events such as the Super Bowl, high-fashion campaigns, and film and television roles. This has reportedly left Martin feeling jealous.
The source added that while Martin is proud of his career and legacy, he still feels jealous of Bunny’s recent attention for his bold fashion, chart-topping music, and confident persona.
Shuter Scoop also spoke to fans of both artists. They stated that Ricky Martin and Bad Bunny are legends in their own right. One anonymous fan of Martin said that Bunny may be popular now. However, Martin will always be regarded as a true Latin legend.
