Bad Bunny Sued for $16 Million Over Unauthorized Sample

Bad Bunny has been hit with a $16 million lawsuit for allegedly using an uncleared sample on two songs: “Solo de Mi” (2018) and “EoO” (2025). The piece of audio is a voice recording from Tainaly Y. Serrano Rivera, who filed the suit in Puerto Rico.

The details:

• Bad Bunny's label, Rimas Entertainment, and producer, Roberto “La Paciencia” Rosado, were also named in the suit.

• Rivera claims Rosado requested that she record the sound bite, but never informed her it would be used publicly.

• The piece of audio in question is Rivera speaking the phrase “Mira, puñeta, no me quiten el perreo,” which can be translated to “Listen, damn it, don’t take away my dancing.”

• Rivera goes on to state that the recording was used on tour and in promotional material.

• Rivera’s legal team is the same one that sued Bad Bunny in 2023. That suit was also related to the use of an unauthorized recording.

What they said:

• The complaint, translated from Spanish to English, reads: “At the time of the request, the purpose of the audio was not explained, nor was the plaintiff informed that her identity would be used and commercially exploited. No compensation of any kind was discussed. No contract or agreement was signed, nor was any license or authorization granted.”
