Bad Bunny’s recent Instagram post has stirred up speculation among fans, with many wondering if the singer was subtly addressing his past relationships—particularly his on-and-off romance with Kendall Jenner. On Monday, July 7, the Puerto Rican artist shared a photo carousel captioned simply “Lunes,” which translates to “Monday.” While most of the photos showed him enjoying his summer downtime, one image in particular drew immediate attention: a close-up shot of a green baseball cap with the phrase, “Stop dating people who don’t get your music.”

Though the cap appears to be part of an online meme rather than something personally owned by Bad Bunny, that didn’t stop followers from reading into its possible subtext. The image prompted a flurry of comments, with fans quick to connect the message to Kendall Jenner. Some saw it as a pointed jab, while others took it more playfully. Comments like “Friendly fire” and “That second pic was for Kendall” reflected the general buzz that this post might not have been as casual as it seemed on the surface.

Bad Bunny—whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—was romantically linked to Kendall Jenner throughout 2023. Their relationship, though relatively private, was the subject of significant media attention. The pair were first spotted together in early 2023 and made a handful of joint appearances, but they never officially confirmed their status. In a June 2023 Rolling Stone interview, Bad Bunny skirted questions about their relationship, emphasizing his desire to protect his personal life. He expressed frustration with public scrutiny and insisted that his privacy was all he had left to safeguard.

Reports surfaced in December 2023 that the couple had parted ways, but their story didn’t end there. At the 2024 Met Gala, they were seen reconnecting, reigniting speculation about a reconciliation. By July 2024, sources told US Weekly that the two were giving things another shot. One insider shared that their chemistry was hard to ignore and that they had been spending more time together, especially after Bad Bunny wrapped up his tour. The source noted that their bond seemed stronger than ever, thanks to shared travels and deeper connection.

Another insider revealed that Kendall had always appreciated how Bad Bunny treated her—specifically pointing out the way he made her feel valued and respected. For Kendall, being with someone who genuinely prioritized her made it difficult to walk away, even with the ups and downs they experienced.

Before dating Kendall, Bad Bunny had been in a long-term relationship with Gabriela Berlingeri, a jewelry designer and influencer, from 2017 to 2022. Meanwhile, Kendall’s own romantic history includes NBA player Devin Booker, whom she dated before her involvement with Bad Bunny.

Although neither Kendall nor Bad Bunny has publicly addressed the meaning behind the green cap photo, the post has sparked widespread interpretation. Whether it was a lighthearted meme, a cryptic message, or something more personal, fans continue to speculate—and for now, the singer remains characteristically silent, letting the image speak for itself.
