When translated from Spanish to English, Bad Bunny’s tweet reads, “The person who comes up to me to say hello, to tell me something, or just to meet me, will always receive my attention and respect. Those who come to put a phone in my face I will consider it for what it is, a lack of respect and I will treat it likewise.”Take a look at Bad Bunny’s tweet right here:
La persona que se acerque a mi a saludarme, a decirme algo, o solo conocerme, siempre recibirá mi atención y respeto. Los que vengan a ponerme un cabrón teléfono en la cara lo consideraré como lo que es, una falta de respeto y así mismo lo trataré yo. #SINCOJONESMETIENE— ☀️🌊❤️ (@sanbenito) January 2, 2023
Since being shared a day ago, the video has received more than 5.6 million views and still counting. The share has also gathered several likes, retweets and a flurry of comments from tweeple.Here’s how Twitter users reacted to the video:“That happens when people who have no values and lack humility are deified…,” posted an individual. “Why can’t that person with the fame that he has could not set an example of education and ask this woman to respect his space without a photo or recording? It would have been more decent and not disgusting as can be seen,” shared another. “Bottom line: he can’t just damage people’s property. He could’ve just walked away from her or called security. Lowkey he’s beginning to lose touch with reality,” commented a third. “If the lady hadn’t invaded his space, would she have lost her phone? We have to be consent, nothing gives the young woman the right to invade and take a photo or video without the consent of the art,” remarked a fourth.
