Singer and rapper Bad Bunny may be gracing the stage as the performer at Sunday's Super Bowl LX halftime show, but his beginnings started thousands of miles away in Puerto Rico with his mother, father, and two brothers.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Martínez Ocasio, has shared previously with multiple outlets how growing up in his close-knit family outside of San Juan, Puerto Rico, has shaped his music, including his recent album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," which took home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year last weekend.
Before Bad Bunny takes the stage at Super Bowl LX, here's a look at his family and how he's said they have influenced him.
