Mateus Carrilho jokes that Bad Bunny copied the song: ‘Gringos imitating’

One of the most prominent artists today and one of the most popular Latin singers, Bad Bunny released a song with a similar beginning to another song by Mateus Carrilhoresponsible for hits like “Any Nightclub” It is “He arrives.”

In a post made on X, better known as Twitter, on the night of last Friday, 13th, Carrilho noticed similarities between “National passion,” song released by him on the album National passion (2023), with “NADIE KNOWS,” opening track of Nadie Knows What’s Going Next Morningavailable on October 13, 2023 on streaming platforms.

As the text of the post, the Brazilian singer was synthetic. “Being a Ref [referência] It’s Fuck! #gringosimitando.” A few hours later, he took the opportunity to clarify the post: “The ‘gringos imitando’ brinks was because the Bunny he added a string orchestra to the intro to his new album, just like me. His intro is a sample, mine is not. I love him and he’s a super ref.”

The “gringos imitating” joke was because Bunny added a string orchestra to the new intro to his album, just like me. His intro is a sample, mine is not. I love him and he’s a super ref. 🤍
