By: koalafriend
Boricua brilliance took center stage once again as global music sensation Bad Bunny snatched up multiple wins at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, solidifying his reign as one of the biggest artists of this generation. Held Tuesday night in Los Angeles, the star-studded event was a full-on celebration of the hits that kept fans streaming, dancing, and vibing throughout the year—and Benito was the undisputed king of the party.
The Puerto Rican superstar, known for his electrifying performances and genre-smashing sound, took home a whopping four awards, including the coveted Artist of the Year and Favorite Latin Artist. Whether you're a longtime fan or a new member of the Bad Bunny hive, it's clear: el conejo malo isn't slowing down anytime soon.
Bad Bunny Stuns with Artist of the Year Win
Perhaps the most talked-about moment of the night was Bad Bunny’s win for Artist of the Year, a category packed with powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Drake, Doja Cat, and Olivia Rodrigo. But it was the “MONACO” hitmaker who ultimately earned the crown, thanks to a year full of chart-toppers, historic stadium tours, and viral moments that lit up social media.
Dressed in an edgy all-black ensemble and flashing his signature swagger, Bad Bunny accepted the award with his usual charm—and in Spanish, no less.
“Gracias a todos mis fans. Ustedes hacen esto posible. Los amo con todo mi corazón,” he said, sending fans and the audience into a frenzy.
Mega Wins for Latin Music
In addition to Artist of the Year, Bad Bunny also scored wins for Best Latin Pop Song of the Year with “UN PREVIEW” and Tour of the Year for his blockbuster “Most Wanted Tour,” which sold out arenas across North America and Latin America in record time.
His groundbreaking impact on Latin music was acknowledged once again as he claimed the Favorite Latin Artist award, beating out heavyweights such as Karol G, J Balvin, and Peso Pluma. It’s another sign that Latin music is no longer a niche—it’s leading the global wave, and Bad Bunny is surfing right at the top.
A Show-Stopping Performance
It wouldn’t be a true Bad Bunny night without an epic performance—and the reggaeton icon delivered in full force. Taking the iHeart stage with a medley of his recent hits, including a surprise remix of “WHERE SHE GOES” featuring Travis Scott, Bad Bunny brought fire, fashion, and flair. Fans lit up Twitter and TikTok with reactions, calling the performance “iconic,” “unreal,” and “the moment of the night.”
Celebrity fans from Cardi B to Camila Cabello were seen grooving in the crowd, and social media couldn't stop talking about the high-energy spectacle that only Benito could bring.
Fan Favorite—On and Off Stage
With over 60 billion streams and a name that trends globally with every drop, Bad Bunny's influence stretches far beyond the stage. He’s a streetwear trendsetter, a pro wrestling scene-stealer (hello, WWE Raw!), and a political voice for Puerto Rican rights. Quite frankly, there’s nothing he can’t do.
And fans? They're obsessed. After sweeping this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards, Bad Bunny trended on X (formerly Twitter) for hours with hashtags like #BadBunnyiHeartWinner, #BenitoTakeover, and #BadBunnyEra.
What’s Next for El Conejo Malo?
While Bad Bunny didn’t spill too much tea about what’s next, he teased fans with a mysterious "más música pronto" (more music soon) during his acceptance speech. Considering how 2024 ended with the powerhouse rollout of his YHLQMDLG 2 album, fans are already gearing up for what could be another history-making year.
With Coachella buzz swirling and rumors of a deluxe album brewing, the Bad Bunny takeover is far from done—and we are here for it.
