Bad Bunny 'was going to work in the culinary arts' if his dream didn't come true

Bad Bunny has been storming the music scene for the past few years, but he’s now revealed his Plan B if dreams of having a successful music career didn’t come true.

The music star has had collaborations with artists such as Drake, but it looks like he would have been cooking things up outside of the studio, had his singles not been such a success…

Bad Bunny reveals career Plan B if music didn’t work out

As he storms the scene, the star was asked what he’d be doing if music wasn’t on the cards for him, and the answer is on the complete opposite spectrum of what he does now.

Although he’d dreamed about his career as a musician, in a new interview the 29-year-old revealed he ā€œhad to be a realist.ā€

ā€œIf I wasn’t going anywhere with my music, I was going to work in the culinary arts,ā€ he told Interview Magazine. ā€œI saw cooking as something creative because sure, there are recipes, but there’s also the opportunity to craft your own dishes, to create your own flavor.ā€

However, it looked like Bad Bunny, real name Benito MartĆ­nez Ocasio, didn’t have to settle for Plan B, as he worked so hard to make sure Plan A worked for him.

ā€œI actually dreamed so much about having this career. I’d come home from school and go straight to the computer, making beats and learning to record my own music. I’d sometimes say, ā€œDamn, if this isn’t meant to be, I don’t know what I’ll do because I don’t have another dream,'ā€ he told the publication.

It looks like the star’s career Plan B is ā€˜miles away’ from what his ā€˜ex’ Kendall Jenner’s probably would be, if the infamous cucumber video is anything to go by.

However, it seems like he could have taught her a few things, as one fan tweeted: ā€œWonder if Bad Bunny is teaching Kendall Jenner how to cut a cucumber.ā€

Hearts broke around the globe at the end of last year, when it was revealed that Kendall and Bad Bunny had gone their separate ways.

However, last month, rumors of a reconciliation between the two were circulating. ā€œKendall’s friends aren’t surprised whatsoever that she’s seeing Bad Bunny again. They figured this would happen because she has a habit of going back to exes,ā€ a source told US Weekly.

It was reported the couple were not fully back together, but ā€œthey have hung out a few times since breaking up last month.ā€

The two both attended the Super Bowl on Sunday night, although not together. In fact, Jenner’s ex Devin Booker was spotted in her suite, although there were no ā€˜romantic’ signs between the two.
