Bad Bunny Case Update: Puerto Rico Supreme Court Dismisses Major Claims in Ex's Voice Lawsuit
The justices said her recorded vocal performance may support image and damages claims over commercial use on major releases.
- On Wednesday, the Puerto Rico Supreme Court revived the lawsuit by Carliz De La Cruz Hernández against Bad Bunny regarding the unauthorized commercial use of her "Bad Bunny, baby" vocal tag.
- De La Cruz Hernández alleges she recorded the tag in 2015 during their relationship, claiming Rimas Entertainment later used it across albums without compensation or consent after negotiations broke down.
- While dismissing "Pa Ti" claims as time-barred, the court's 50-page opinion allowed other allegations regarding image rights and commercial exploitation to proceed to trial.
- Both sides will now present evidence in the San Juan court on authorship, consent, and damages, with De La Cruz Hernández previously seeking $40 million from Bad Bunny.
- This ruling coincides with a separate lawsuit filed earlier this year by Tainaly Serrano Rivera, who alleges her voice was used without authorization in songs including "Solo de Mí," highlighting growing legal scrutiny over voice recordings.
