WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has sparked conversation after claiming he was responsible for the rise of Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny. During a video response to a wedding invitation, the 77-year-old wrestling legend stated, “FYI, I made Bad Bunny,” while referencing his long-standing connection to the rapper.
The two have a history dating back to 2017, when Flair appeared in the music video for Bad Bunny’s hit song “Chambea.” The rapper, a well-known wrestling enthusiast, has also made several appearances in WWE, including performing at the 2021 Royal Rumble and competing at WrestleMania 37.
While Flair’s bold assertion aligns with his flamboyant “Nature Boy” persona, there is no commercial evidence to support the claim that he was the primary driver of the artist's global success.
