Puerto Rico’s Supreme Court dismisses claims that singer Bad Bunny used ex’s voice on ‘Pa Ti’

The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico has dismissed some of the legal claims brought by Bad Bunny’s former girlfriend, Carliz De La Cruz Hernández, in her lawsuit against the global music star.

According to reports, the court ruled that claims relating to Bad Bunny’s 2017 song Pa Ti were filed too late and are therefore time-barred.

De La Cruz had alleged that she recorded the phrase “Bad Bunny, baby” on her mobile phone in 2015 and claimed the singer later used the recording in Pa Ti without her permission. She filed a lawsuit several years later, accusing the Grammy-winning artist of using her voice without authorisation. While the Supreme Court dismissed the claims linked to Pa Ti, it did not end the case entirely.

Some of De La Cruz’s remaining claims survived the appeal and will now proceed before the Puerto Rico Court of First Instance, where the dispute will continue. The phrase “Bad Bunny, baby” is also reportedly featured in the artist’s song Dos Mil 16, which remains part of the ongoing litigation.

Bad Bunny is also facing a separate lawsuit filed earlier this year by Tainaly Serrano Rivera, who alleges that recordings of her voice were used without her permission in the songs Solo de Mí and EoO. The legal proceedings in both cases are ongoing, and no final determination has been made regarding the remaining allegations.
