It’s Bad Bunny being Bad Bunny in the most adorably Bad Bunny way. The artist won for Best Rap/Hip Hop song and his acceptance speech has everyone swooning over this genuine, down-to-earth vibe. The fact that he still gets nervous when taking the stage at award shows after winning quite a few of them is just one of the most real moments. Just goes to show that no matter how much you take the stage, those nerves can still be real.
