The opinion of the Latin/Hispanic students at FIU is very diverse and wide, although Bad Bunny is one of the students’ favorites.
“Bad bunny deserves to take all his nominations because he is the king of reggaetón and for me he is the best,” Kiara Lanz said.
The awards will take place on Nov. 18 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, United States. The event will be broadcast throughout the United States and Latin America.
