A video posted to Twitter on Monday shows the rapper being accosted by a woman in the Dominican Republic as she attempts to take a selfie with him on her mobile phone. Bad Bunny says the fan got what she deserved for being “disrespectful” by throwing her phone into the water. Onlookers audibly gasp when the musician hurls her phone into nearby water, clearly irritated by her presence. Bad Bunny doubled down in a tweet after the clip quickly racked up over a million views. I will always give my attention and respect to anyone who comes up to me, whether it is to say hello, to tell me something, or just to meet me, he wrote, translating from Spanish.

When someone comes to put a phone in my face, I will consider it a lack of respect, and I will treat it accordingly. The singer’s phone-throwing behaviors divided fans, some of whom said it went too far. One fan wrote that he can’t try to live a normal life when he’s a big celebrity and needs his personal space. People are gonna be all over him, wow! Another unimpressed viewer said that he or his representatives should buy her another phone. It doesn’t matter what she told him, he can’t throw her phone away. In the end, he cannot just destroy people’s property. There was no need for him to call security or walk away from her. There’s no doubt he’s losing touch with reality, a third person said.
Bad Bunny responds:
“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 like one.” pic.twitter.com/pYmQd73WqR— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) January 3, 2023Advertisement
VIDEO: Bad Bunny Throws The Phone Of A Disobedient Fan Into The Water
In Bad Bunny’s defense, he threw a “disrespectful” fan’s cell phone into a body of water. The incident was captured on video, which amassed two million views on Monday. On Monday, the Latin pop star tweeted: Anyone who asks me a question, tells me something, or just wants to meet me will always receive my attention and respect. If you put a fucking phone in my face, I will consider it disrespectful, and I will treat it accordingly. In the aftermath of the phone-throwing incident, fans were divided, with some claiming the singer went too far. It’s understandable that he would like some privacy, but as a big celebrity, he can’t just live his normal life, a fan wrote. People are gonna be all over him, wow! His reps should get her another phone, another viewer said unimpressedly.
No matter what she told him, he cannot throw her phone. Ultimately, he cannot damage people’s property just because he wants to. A simple walk away or a call to security would have sufficed. Third person railed that he was losing touch with reality. The “Me Porto Bonito” singer was also defended by others who said she may just be tired and need a break. Despite being Spotify’s most streamed global artist for a third consecutive year and completing a major stadium tour in 2022, Bad Bunny recently announced he’s taking a break in the new year. The year 2023 is essential for my physical and mental well-being, as well as to enjoy my accomplishments, he told Billboard. It’s going to be a celebration. The boat is waiting for us. Let’s go here, let’s go there. I’ll go to the studio, but there’s no pressure. I have a couple of sporadic commitments.
what makes celebs think they can act like this

Bad Bunny wasn’t wrong for launching that girls phone. People tend to forget that celebrities are REAL people too and you can’t just get all in their faces and expect no action to be taken
