“It was a real moment of frustration,” he toldThe New York Times.

“Yeah, I know, hes a comedian, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Then people told me, ‘No, its a comedian,'” he continued.

“It wasnt funny.

I have a great sense of humor.

“Theyre going to assume that youre a politician at a political rally.

For those who forget who we are, don’t worry, we will proudly remind them.

“Every time that I express myself about something, I do it because I feel it.

Its not because Im Bad Bunny and I have 40 million followers,” he told theTimes.
