The latest controversy between Maná’s lead singer, Fher Olvera, and reggaeton has reignited debates about musical genres and artistic respect. During a recent concert in Mexico, Fher took a direct jab at reggaeton and Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, quipping, “Here it’s not like in reggaeton. Here we actually write lyrics. Not like Bugs Bunny.” His comment drew laughter from the crowd but polarized opinions online.
This isn’t the first time Olvera has criticized reggaeton. In past interviews, he’s called out the genre for its lack of lyrical depth while simultaneously acknowledging Bad Bunny’s record-breaking success and global impact. “Bad Bunny has reached places that no other Latino has, and that is commendable, but that doesn’t mean I have to like him,” Fher said, shutting down the idea of ever collaborating with the reggaeton artist.
Fher’s remarks have drawn backlash from the reggaeton community. Urban artist Ñejo responded on Instagram, pointing out the apparent contradiction of Maná collaborating with reggaeton star Nicky Jam in the past. Ñejo shared a clip of the track, captioned, “I don’t understand,” highlighting the inconsistency in Fher’s stance against the genre.
While Bad Bunny has remained silent on the issue, the debate over Fher’s comments has spotlighted a broader cultural divide between rock en español and reggaeton, with fans of both genres defending their respective musical icons.
This incident reflects ongoing tensions within Latin music as traditional and urban styles navigate their coexistence in an industry increasingly dominated by reggaeton and urban sounds.
