Bad Bunny Spotted in New York City Days Before Met Gala

The reggaeton star kept things understated during a daytime outing in Manhattan on Thursday afternoon, April 30, as he departed from a meeting in the city.

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known professionally as Bad Bunny, opted for a relaxed ensemble that included a gray zip-up hoodie, jeans, and brown sneakers. A green baseball cap and dark sunglasses completed his low-key look for the day.

The 32-year-old artist's New York appearance comes just four days before the Met Gala is set to take place on Monday, May 4. While his attendance has not been officially announced, the "Tití Me Preguntó" performer appears on several lists of rumored guests for the prestigious fashion event.

Bad Bunny has previously graced the Met Gala carpet on four occasions since his inaugural appearance in 2022, when he wore a custom design by Riccardo Tisci. The Grammy-winning artist's track record at the event suggests there's anticipation around what he might wear this year.

In other news this week, Bad Bunny reached a major streaming milestone, being named the second most-streamed artist of all time on Spotify.
