At the same time, he’s also been on the receiving end of criticism, something he mentioned in the initial X post where he posted his viral response.
“Despite all the hate I get, I love America. Even Bad Bunny’s Grammy speech honored the dreams of those who had to leave their homes to succeed — in America,” he wrote. On Monday, he again defended the video in an appearance on Fox News, where he claimed that many people praised him for being “brave” with his comments in the speech.
