Bad Bunny Gives Ivy Queen Her Flowers

Ivy Queen is known for her work in reggaeton, but she’s a rising star in Latin music as well. She’s received her first Grammy nomination this year and has been gaining traction in the industry. Her music has been praised for its diversity and multicultural sound. She’s been described as a pioneer in her genre, and she’s worked with various other artists.
