Bad Bunny isn't afraid to get political with his music. In July 2019, mass protests took place across Puerto Rico that called for the island's corrupt governor, Ricardo Rosselló, to resign. To raise his voice on the injustice in Puerto Rico and Rosselló's transgressions, Bad Bunny teamed up with Calle 13's Residente and iLe for the explosive collaboration "Afilando Los Cuchillos." Rosselló later stepped from his position on August 2, 2019.
