Bad Bunny received this Thursday the Billboard Award<\/a> for Latin Artist of the 21st Century from the hands of legendary Puerto Rican actress Rita Moreno, and after a short serenade by the Pleneros de la Cresta in which the artist did not stop singing and dancing.<\/p>\n

“When I started my career, being Latino meant facing many rejections, many no’s, many closed doors,” began Rita Moreno, who at 93 is Hollywood’s most awarded Hispanic artist and who entered the stage dancing as the Pleneros played.<\/p>\n

Excited, Bad Bunny listened to Moreno to continue with a speech in which he did not mention his achievements or the controversy about his participation in the next Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

El Conejo, as his fans also call him, was accompanied by his closest collaborators and one of his younger brothers Bernie Mart\u00ednez Ocasio.<\/p>\n

With the audience giving him a standing ovation, Benito was honored with the most Puerto Rican music by Los Pleneros, who accompanied him and played his hit ‘CAF\u00e9 CON RON’, part of his highly awarded and listened to album ‘DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS’.<\/p>\n

As Bad Bunny listened with his mouth open, Moreno continued: “Opportunities were few and far between and every step forward was a victory. Today I see an artist that reaches the whole world”. Then she addressed him “Hello baby, how are you baby? You’re hot too, all in one piece,” he joked.<\/p>\n

“I am very excited, from my heart Benito, to present you with the Billboard Latin Artist of the 20th Century Award!”, concluded Moreno and received it by dancing salsa with him to the chords of ‘BAILE INoLVVIDABLE’.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny’s powerful speech<\/h2>\n

Bad Bunny had known for weeks that he would receive the award at the Awards, to which he arrived as the most nominated with 27 nominations. However, he confessed on stage that he had not prepared a speech because “I genuinely don’t understand why I am the one who is here.<\/p>\n

“Every time I hear other artists express that way about me, it gives me the assurance that being me and doing the things I do from the heart is still a great decision. It’s the only thing I’ve done since day one, or I’ve been discovering who I am,” she said.<\/p>\n

He also acknowledged the efforts of young people who dream of pursuing an artistic career. “I will always identify with those artists because I consider myself the same. A young man who keeps dreaming with many goals and many things to do.”<\/p>\n

“I thank each one of you. This is from you because you have me here. God wanted me to receive it because he knows this will not feed my ego. I do not receive this with arrogance,” he said.<\/p>\n

In closing, Bad Bunny assured that he receives the award “with a lot of humility. I will continue to be the same and that is the lesson I would like to give to all artists. Always be yourselves, go to the studio, have fun, let off steam, be yourselves. Say what, what hurts you, what makes you happy. And never forget to be yourself,” reported Agencia EFE.<\/p>\n
