Bad Bunny got hit with a massive lawsuit for allegedly using a woman's voice without paying her. The suit claims the superstar used Tainaly Serrano's recorded phrase in two of his tracks. Her voice saying a specific line about twerking appears on songs from his 2018 and 2025 albums. She asserts she never signed any agreement for this use.
The recording was supposedly made back in university. Serrano sent the audio via a messaging app after a producer's request, but received no details on its intended purpose. Her voice has since been featured in millions of streams, concert performances, and merchandise. The involved song has hundreds of millions of plays on major platforms.
Serrano's legal action seeks sixteen million dollars in damages. It cites Puerto Rican laws protecting creators' moral rights and an individual's publicity rights. Her lawyers demand a complete halt to using the audio clip. They previously represented another woman in a similar case against the artist.
The lawsuit highlights the commercial success of the albums containing her voice. One record achieved top streaming honors globally and won a major Latin music award. Serrano argues her contribution is central to the nostalgic theme fans associate with the music. The case continues in a San Juan court.
