Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) divided fans after appearing to throw shade at British singer Harry Styles during his Coachella performance on Friday evening. 

His two hour set featured special guests Jhayco, Jowell & Randy and Ñengo Flow and Post Malone. However, it was during his performance of his song ‘El Apagón’ from his album ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ that the rapper decided to have a dig at Harry.

During his set, Bad Bunny performed in front of a screen that featured an old Tweet that read “goodnight benito [his real name] could do as it was but harry could never do el apagon.” Arguing that he had more versatility than the Watermelon Sugar singer.

Fans were divided over the bizarre outburst and speculated that Bad Bunny was still vexed after losing out to the singer at the Grammys for the Album of the Year Award. 

The rapper was called out by fans after he was seen at Harry’s concert last year supporting the singer as a fan and dancing the night away. 

It’s not the first time Bad Bunny has shaded someone during a performance as he reportedly made a dig at Kendall Jenner's ex boyfriend Devin Booker in a song after he started dating the model.

Kendall was seen at Coachella supporting Bad Bunny over the weekend. The model was spotted dancing in the crowd during his set and then later the couple were seen together as he covered his face with bandana and whispered something in her ear.
