 sation with CNN's Sofía Sanchez as they discuss their book P FKN R: 
 How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance.Global su
 perstar Bad Bunny’s record-breaking success is due in large part to his 
 unapologetic championing of his homeland and the intimate connections he m
 aintains in Puerto Rico. Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, Bad Bunny h
 as lived a life marked by public crises—blackouts, hurricanes, political
  corruption and oppression—that have exposed the ongoing impacts of colo
