Zane Lowe and Bad Bunny in January 2025At the time, he was studying and working at a grocery store. But he credits his thought process to him being a "very emotional person."
"Sometimes I overthink everything," said Bad Bunny. "I'm just learning not to think too much and just trust in the life and God and the process and everything and enjoy the moment. But now I'm 30, people start to ask you, Are you going to marry? Are you going to have kids? You start to think, am I wrong?"
Now, the "MONACO" musician has found himself "reflecting" with age.
"I've been reflecting about my whole life, my history, and also about my career, when I've been doing all these years," said Bad Bunny. "I'm about to turn 10 years in the industry. And that's f---ing crazy because sometimes I feel that I'm a rookie, this is my first year! This is my first album to me."
