Puerto Rican superstar, Bad Bunny, clinched a historic win during Sunday night’s Grammy Awards when his album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” earned him the album of the year honor, marking the first Spanish-language album in Grammys history to do so.
The achievement comes three years after the singer’s first album of the year nomination for his fourth album, “Un Verano Sin Ti.”
“I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland to follow their dreams,” Bad Bunny said during his acceptance speech. “To all the Latinos in the world and all the artists who came before and deserved to be on this stage getting this award, thank you.”

In his emotional remarks, the singer thanked God, his album collaborators and the Recording Academy, as well as gave a heartfelt tribute to his native Puerto Rico. “There’s nothing we can’t do,” he said.
Before Bad Bunny’s victory, only two Latino artists, legendary guitarist Carlos Santana and rapper Cardi B have had a shot at the album of the year award, though none for a slate of songs in Spanish.
