A voice recording used without permission: Understanding the million-dollar lawsuit against Bad Bunny
"The woman claims that the audio recordings were made in 2018 at the request of the singer's producer, La Paciencia, whose real name is Roberto Rosado. The woman claims that she was not notified that they would be used in the artist's upcoming music. At the time of the request, the purpose of the audio was not explained. Nor was the plaintiff informed that her identity would be used and commercially exploited."
"The fragment in question features a woman saying, in Spanish, Mira, puneta, no me quiten el perreo, which can be heard in both songs. The lawsuit alleges the use of the recording violates Puerto Rico's right to one's own image. Serrano Rivera has also claimed that her voice was used without her consent during Bad Bunny's residency in his native Puerto Rico."
Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, faces a $16 million lawsuit in Puerto Rico alleging improper use of a woman's 2018 voice recordings in the songs EoO and Solo de Mi. Plaintiff Tainaly Serrano Rivera asserts the recordings were made at the request of producer Roberto Rosado (La Paciencia) and that she was not informed they would be used in music, that her identity would be commercially exploited, or that she would be compensated. The complaint states no contract, license, or authorization was signed. The contested fragment includes the Spanish line "Mira, puneta, no me quiten el perreo." The lawsuit cites violation of Puerto Rico's right to one's own image and references prior similar litigation in 2023.
