2023 Rewind: Bad Bunny Pushes Thirst Traps to New Level with Sexy Pic

This piece is part of EDGE's 2023 Rewind series. We're reaching into our archives and sharing some of our favorite stories from the past year.

Bad Bunny's fans are thrilled that he's pushing thirst traps to a new limit with his latest Instagram Stories post. "Bad Bunny's currently got all of social media going "ay papi" thanks to a new thirst trap," Hot New Hiphop reports.

But has Bad Bunny redefining Thirst Traps by being more explicit? "However, is it even a thirst trap if it's not leaving anything to the imagination? Reshared by Pop Crave, Benito appears to have snapped the shot in an open-air shower and is very naked. Pop Crave helpfully slapped a censor over his Bad Bunny but that's not stopping social media from getting very hot and bothered."

The 29-year-old rapper posted a series of photos on Sunday that ranged from "screenshots of songs on Spotify, to goofy selfies, 'fit checks, and even a candid photo of the reggaeton star alongside 'The Mandalorian's' Pedro Pascal. But tucked somewhere between the memes and a supportive flick of girlfriend Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila brand was a thirst trap to end all thirst traps. Benito shared a steamy mirror pic which showed him shirtless and, ahem, not wearing any underwear," writes Stylecaster.

People Magazine reported last April that the couple were hanging out together.

"Kendall recently started hanging out with him," adds another source. "They were introduced by friends. He moved to L.A. a few weeks ago and bought a house. 'She likes him and is having fun,' the source continues. 'He is different from guys that she dated in the past. He is very charming.'"

"Perhaps the biggest confirmation of their romance came earlier this month on August 13, 2023, when a TikTok user captured a video of Kendall and Benito putting on some serious PDA at a Drake concert," adds Stylecaster. "According to an eyewitness who spoke to Page Six after the concert, the pair were "making out while Kim [Kardashian] was right next to them," which makes it sound like Bad Bunny's already met the family by now. While we're not sure what they'd make of his recent thirst trap, something tells us that Kendall's one happy camper."

n a Rolling Stone interview from June, Bad Bunny said about his personal life. "I know something is going to come out. I know people are] going to say something. People know everything about me, so what's left for me to protect? My private life, my personal life. That's the only answer. In the end, the only thing I have is my privacy."

Last week Bad Bunny was seen in the trailer to "Cassandro," a biopic about Saúl Armendáriz, where he kisses actor Gael Garcia Bernal in a cameo. The film follows an El Paso who rose to prominence in the '80s as an exótico, which is a type of wrestler (usually male) who performs in drag. He became known as the "Liberace of Lucha Libre." The film, which premiered to much acclaim at last year's Sundance Film Festival, celebrates Armendáriz and sexuality.
