As if Bad Bunny’s recent post YHLQMDLG victory lap hasn’t already been an inspiring run, on Friday afternoon, the Boricua rapper shared his latest—and perhaps most bold—artistic statement to date.

The video for “Yo Perreo Sola” begins like many of his recent videos, begins with a presumably young Benito in his bedroom, before the viewer is transported to a world in which San Benito becomes San Benita throughout the song—donning full makeup, patent leather, skirts and even an impressive… bust.

The clip is one more in a long line of instances where Bad Bunny toys with the notion of gender roles. This time however, rather than simply toy with the concept, he’s tackled it head on, and delivered one of his (if not the most) artistically thought-out declarations in his career.
