Bad Bunny has scored an important legal victory after Puerto Rico’s Supreme Court dismissed several claims brought against him by his former girlfriend, though the high-profile dispute is far from over.

The court ruled Wednesday to affirm in part and reverse in part an earlier decision involving Carliz De La Cruz Hernández, who has accused the global music star of using her voice in his songs without permission.

At the center of the case is the now-iconic phrase “Bad Bunny, baby,” which De La Cruz says she recorded on her cellphone in a bathroom in 2015. She alleges the recording was later incorporated into Bad Bunny’s music without her authorization, including his 2017 single “Pa Ti.”

According to sources familiar with the ruling, the Puerto Rico Supreme Court determined that all claims related to “Pa Ti” are time-barred, meaning they were filed after the legal deadline and cannot proceed.

While that represents a significant win for the Grammy-winning artist, it does not end the lawsuit entirely.

Sources say the court also ruled that some of De La Cruz’s remaining claims survived, allowing portions of the case to move beyond the early dismissal stage. Those issues will now continue to be litigated before the Puerto Rico Court of First Instance.

The disputed “Bad Bunny, baby” recording is also alleged to appear in the song “Dos Mil 16,” which remains part of the ongoing legal battle.

This is not the only lawsuit currently facing the Puerto Rican superstar.

Earlier this year, Tainaly Serrano Rivera filed a separate complaint alleging that Bad Bunny used recordings of her voice without permission on the tracks “Solo de Mí” and “EoO.” She claims her voice was incorporated into both songs without her authorization.

Although Bad Bunny has secured a partial courtroom victory, the surviving claims ensure that his legal fight over the alleged use of recorded voices will continue.
