Bad Bunny Shares His Dream Future in Five Words
Bad Bunny is thinking far beyond charts, trophies, and sold-out stadiums. Just days before one of the biggest performances of his career, the global superstar opened up about what he truly wants from life. His answer was simple, personal, and deeply rooted in home, culture, and happiness.
During a recent late-night appearance, the Puerto Rican icon revealed a vision of the future that feels refreshingly grounded. It is not about nonstop fame or endless tours. Instead, it is about peace, food, and living life on his own terms.
Keep reading to discover the five words Bad Bunny used to describe his future and why they say so much about where his heart truly lies.
Bad Bunny Plays The Colbert Questionnaire
On Wednesday, Jan. 28, Bad Bunny appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and took part in the popular segment known as The Colbert Questionert. The game asks celebrities a series of rapid-fire questions that range from silly to surprisingly meaningful.
Throughout the segment, Bad Bunny answered questions about his favorite sandwich, favorite smells, and whether he prefers cats or dogs. His answers were relaxed and playful, showing the same charm fans see on stage and online.
When asked if he is a cat or dog person, his response was quick and confident. Dogs win, definitely.
Five Words That Define His Future
The final question of the game turned reflective. Colbert asked the singer to describe his life in the future using only five words. Bad Bunny did not hesitate.
“Happy, retired, eating, tripletas (a Puerto Rican sandwich), living in Puerto Rico,”
At just 31 years old, the idea of retirement might sound surprising. But for Bad Bunny, it feels more like a long-term dream of freedom. A life where he can enjoy simple pleasures, stay connected to his roots, and spend his days where he feels most at home.
The mention of tripletas, a beloved Puerto Rican sandwich layered with multiple meats, added a personal and cultural touch. It reminded fans that no matter how big his career becomes, his heart stays close to Puerto Rico.
A Sweet and Emotional Earliest Memory
The conversation also took a nostalgic turn when Bad Bunny was asked about his earliest memory. His answer was both innocent and unexpectedly emotional.
He shared that at around four years old, he developed a crush on a girl he saw in a picture book owned by his mother.
“I remember I used to watch a picture of a girl. It was in a book. My mom had a book, like a picture book. There was a picture of a girl, and she was my crush.”
When Colbert asked if he ever knew who the girl was, Bad Bunny admitted that he did not. He added that the mystery affected him deeply at the time.
“I used to cry for that.”
The moment showed a softer side of the artist and reminded viewers that even global stars carry tender childhood memories with them.
From Late Night Fun to Super Bowl Spotlight
Bad Bunny’s appearance on the show came just over a week before he takes the stage for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The performance held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and will air live on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock.
Earlier this month, he released a trailer for the halftime show that quickly sparked excitement online. The video features Bad Bunny dancing to his song “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” alongside people of different races, ages, and genders.
According to Apple Music, the trailer was designed to highlight unity, rhythm, and cultural pride on a global stage.
Performing for Culture and History
Bad Bunny has made it clear that this halftime show means more to him than personal success. For him, it represents generations of history and the power of representation.
“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
His words reflect the significance of being a Puerto Rican and Spanish language artist headlining one of the most-watched events in the world.
A Historic Awards Season
As he prepares for the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny is also heading into a major awards moment. He was nominated in six categories at the 2026 Grammy Awards, which took place on Feb. 1 in Los Angeles.
This year, he made history as the first Spanish-language artist to receive nominations in three major Grammy categories. It is another milestone in a career defined by breaking barriers and reshaping the global music industry.
