A representative for the Puerto Rican reggaeton star confirmed the diagnosis on Monday.

Even still, Bad Bunny did appear remotely to present the award for favorite Latin female artist.

Speaking to the AP, Bad Bunny's publicist Sujeylee Solá said that the performer wasn’t showing symptoms at this time.

Bad Bunny did appear at the 2020 Latin Grammys earlier in the month, performing "Bichiyal" and  "Si Veo a Tu Mama" in an outdoor medley.

At last night’s AMAs, he won favorite male Latin artist and favorite Latin album.
