Bad Bunny, born Benito Martinez Ocasio, has been fighting the lawsuit since it was first filed in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn her filings, De La Cruz Hern\u00e1ndez says she began dating Bad Bunny in 2011 and recorded the phrase at his request in 2015. The couple later separated, reconciled in 2017, and broke up again, though they continued communicating intermittently until 2019, she claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAccording to De La Cruz Hern\u00e1ndez, she never authorized the recording\u2019s use on \u201cPa Ti,\u201d released in 2015, or on \u201cDos Mil 16,\u201d a track from the chart-topping album <em>Un Verano Sin Ti<\/em>. She alleges Bad Bunny and his company, Rimas Entertainment, used her voice memo across streaming services, social media, television, radio, and promotional campaigns, turning it into a marketing hook that fueled interest in the couple\u2019s on-and-off relationship and drove sales. She alleges the defendants unfairly profited from her voice without compensating her, and the Supreme Court found that she presented sufficient facts to support her claim of a plausible commercial use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWhile De La Cruz Hern\u00e1ndez can move forward with her claim related to \u201cDos Mil 16,\u201d the court found she waited too long to pursue damages for \u201cPa Ti.\u201d The statute of limitations for the earlier song had run out, the court ruled.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn its opinion, the majority also reversed an earlier dismissal of De La Cruz Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s copyright claim. It found she had a right to pursue her claims that the recording of her personal and distinguishable voice performance might be protectible as a copyright.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAttempts to reach lawyers on both sides were not immediately successful on Friday. A dissenting judge said he would have dismissed both claims, finding that neither was supported by law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Bunny\u2019s former girlfriend may proceed with a lawsuit accusing the reggaeton star of using a recording of her voice saying \u201cBad Bunny baby\u201d on his 2022 song \u201cDos Mil 16\u201d without her permission.
