During the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs, Puerto Rican singer/rapper Bad Bunny delivered a lively performance from his hometown of San Juan.

Complete with two outfit and set changes--the first song, "Bichiyal" had the superstar singing from a moving Bugatti while rocking a perfectly coordinated fresh, white sequined 'fit while his friends rode motorbikes around him. The high energy performance had him sing two tracks from his 2020 Latin GRAMMY-nominated LP, YHLQMDLG, "Bichiyal" and "Si Veo A Tu Mama." The second track was delivered from Hiram Bithorn stadium with help from the all-female Puerto Rican group Las Atípicas, who helped serve up a folkloric interpretation of it.

Earlier, during the Latin GRAMMY Premiere ceremony, the "Vete" artist took home Best Reggaeton Performance for another YHLQMDLG hit single, "Yo Perreo Sola."
