Much of the world is already familiar with reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny, but many NFL fans will become acquainted with him come Feb. 8 when he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show.
One of Indiana’s most famous reality TV stars got an introduction on a more personal level and seems was not impressed with the music of the Puerto Rican rapper and singer.
“The Golden Bachelor” star Gerry Turner met Bad Bunny, and was too quick to compliment the 31-year-old musician.
‘Golden Bachelor’ Gerry Turner told Bad Bunny he was a fan. He lied.
In his book, “Golden Years: What I’ve Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV,” Turner, 74, recounts being invited to Kris Jenner’s home for dinner when Bad Bunny was also a guest.
“To be honest, I’d had no friggin idea who Bad Bunny was until the car ride to the house, when my driver explained that he was a singer who did some kind of rap-type music. When we sat down at Kris’s very imposing dining room table, I did that phony Hollywood thing where I told him how much I like his music,” Turner wrote. “Can you blame a seventy-two-year-old guy from Indiana? I didn’t know what else to say.”
“Well, when I finally did hear one of his songs at some point down the line, I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. The lyrics described some kind of rough sex that to my ears dangerously bordered on violent. I clearly had no idea what I was saying to Mr. Bunny that night at dinner.”
