Bad Bunny has revealed what he may have been doing if he wasn’t creating smash hits in the studio.
During a recent interview for the cover of Interview Magazine, the Puerto Rican rapper and singer shared that if a music career hadn’t worked out, he would’ve pursued culinary arts.
“I saw cooking as something creative because sure, there are recipes, but there’s also the opportunity to craft your own dishes, to create your own flavor,” he explained.
But Bad Bunny admitted that he always had his heart set on creating music since he was young.
“I actually dreamed so much about having this career,” the “I Like It” rapper said. “I’d come home from school and go straight to the computer, making beats and learning to record my own music. I’d sometimes say, ‘Damn, if this isn’t meant to be, I don’t know what I’ll do because I don’t have another dream.’”
He also noted that he knew he had “to be a realist” when it came to a cut-throat industry like music, so he got a job and pursued higher education at the same time as going after his dreams.
“I wasn’t going to go be lazy thinking that I’d get everything I wanted, so I went to college,” the “Me Porto Bonito” artist added. “I had my job [bagging groceries at Econo] to at least pay for gas.”
Bad Bunny’s hard work clearly paid off. He has scored 12 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Dakiti,” “Mia” and “Moscow Mule.” The musician has also earned three Grammy Awards and seven Latin Grammy Awards.
He dropped his fifth studio album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana in October last year.
