Bad Bunny responded to a short video that recently went viral depicting the Puerto Rican rapper grabbing a fan’s phone and throwing it into the water. Bad Bunny wrote in a tweet, as translated from Spanish via Twitter: “The person who comes up to me to say hello, to tell me something, or just to meet me, will always receive my attention and respect. Those who come to put a phone bastard in my face I will consider it for what it is, a lack of respect and I will treat it likewise.”

In the video in question that’s been circulating on social media, Bad Bunny is shown walking with a group of people, including security, on a path along the water in the Dominican Republic. After an excited female fan walks up to him and holds out her phone to take a selfie the artist, he smiles for the camera before grabbing the phone and tossing it over his shoulder towards the water as the fan gives a shocked reaction.

Bad Bunny recently appeared onscreen as the Wolf assassin in Bullet Train, and will star as the Marvel Comics character El Muerto in an upcoming film from Sony Pictures.
