Bad Bunny Personal Life
Bad Bunny was born on 10 March 1994 in Almirante Sur, Puerto Rico to Tito Martínez, a truck driver, and his mother, Lysaurie Ocasio, is a retired schoolteacher. Bunny was raised in the Almirante Sur barrio of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. He has two younger brothers, Bernie and Bysael. He said: “I wasn’t the kid who lived on the streets. I loved being at home with my family.”
As a child, he attended church every week with his devout Catholic mother and sang in the church choir until he was 13. After leaving the choir, he became interested in the artists he heard on the radio, especially Daddy Yankee and Héctor Lavoe.
His stage name originally came from a time when he was forced to wear a bunny suit and was angry about it. Speaking about Puerto Rico’s music industry, he said, “I’m from Vega Baja, a small area that’s not the big city of San Juan, where most of the artists in that genre come from.”
