Puerto Rican homeowner files lawsuit against Bad Bunny for incorporating distinctive residence in music video and alleged ongoing occupancy
Bad Bunny Sued by Elderly Homeowner for Alleged Invasion of Privacy
Rómán Carrasco Delgado, an 84-year-old man from Humacao, Puerto Rico, has filed a lawsuit against popular music artist Bad Bunny and three associated companies, alleging invasion of privacy and illicit enrichment.
The lawsuit, filed in the Court of First Instance in San Juan, claims that Carrasco's salmon-colored home with yellow trim and a wraparound porch was copied without his informed consent to build a replica inside the Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum of Puerto Rico. This unauthorized use led to privacy invasion and illicit enrichment, according to the lawsuit.
The home served as the model for a real-size home nicknamed "la casita" that was featured at Bad Bunny's 30 concerts. While filming the music video at Carrasco's home, people took pictures and measurements of it. The replica of Carrasco's home was constructed inside the coliseum for the concert series.
Celebrities and musicians such as LeBron James, Penelope Cruz, Residente, and Belinda hung out and sang alongside Bad Bunny at these concerts. The lawsuit alleges that a large number of people visit Delgado's home daily to take pictures and videos, stripping him of his privacy.
Rómán Carrasco Delgado received two checks totaling $5,200 for the use of his home in Bad Bunny's music video. However, the lawsuit states that he has generally received no benefit from the usage of his property in the music video and the concerts.
The lawsuit accuses Bad Bunny and the three companies - Rimas Entertainment LLC, Move Concerts PR INC, and A1 Productions, LLC - of illicit enrichment. Representatives for Bad Bunny did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The music video featuring Carrasco's home received 22 million views. The lawsuit claims that the artist and the companies have been subject to malicious comments and insinuations that did not occur prior to the publication of the music video.
Delgado is seeking at least $1 million in damages and emotional distress.
