Even the most casual reggaeton fan has come across a Bad Bunny track a time or two. The Puerto Rican rapper continues to make waves in all the right ways with a deep voice and unique cadence that is instantly recognizable as soon as he starts singing. Along with being one of the hottest artists worldwide, he is also known for tackling tough social topics like women’s rights, gender fluidity and his own struggles with mental health — which only makes him more relatable. Although he is only 27 years old, Bad Bunny is on track to be one of the best Latin artists of all time, with an influence that crosses genres , languages and cultures. But with his seemingly meteoric rise to stardom — including well-placed roles in the movie “Bullet Train” and the Netflix series “Narcos: Mexico” — just how large is Bad Bunny’s net worth? From Puerto Rico To The Global Stage While the world knows the reggaeton artist as Bad Bunny, he was actually born Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio in 1994. Originally...
All it takes is one person to give you a chance, and in Chloe x Halle’s case, it was Beyoncé. Thanks to their savvy social media approach, the sister duo eventually caught the attention of none other than Beyoncé, who spotted their YouTube page and eventually began pushing them on her own social media pages. “Beyoncé saw our YouTube video online, and that’s because so many people shared it, and it created a buzz,” Chloe said, according to Rolling Stone. Eventually, the Queen became their mentor and signed them to Parkwood Entertainment, her record label. And, as might be expected, that move jettisoned Chloe x Halle into the stratosphere. Even by their own admission, their career wouldn’t be what it is today were it not for Mrs. Knowles-Carter. “Beyoncé is the true definition of what it is to be yourself and work hard and give it your all,” they said to Rolling Stone. “As young artists and as young Black women who watch her, you automatically know your worth. You know to stand in...
Better late than never and Merrill Pittman Cooper is living proof. Walking the earth for over a century, Cooper has experienced various facets of life — from the historic lows of the 1930s and the Civil Rights era to the first Black president of the United States of America. Cooper’s personal trajectory includes a career as the first Black trolley car driver in Philadelphia, PA, and later becoming a leading figure in the union, The Washington Post reports. However, his original aspirations were to become an attorney. Although he was unable to achieve his dream job, he recently checked another milestone off of his list. Growing up, his single mother worked as a housekeeper and would pay off Cooper’s school tuition until she no longer had the financial means by his senior year of high school at Storer College in Harpers Ferry, WV. Cooper persuaded his mother to live with his family in Philadelphia and shifted his focus to supporting his mother. Cooper took a position at a women’s...
