Rapper and reggaeton artist Bad Bunny dropped his most recent album El Último Tour Del Mundo last week and one of the tracks on it was named Booker T.
The multi-time World Champion was even referenced on the track lyrically in the line “I’m a king, champion, Booker T” and fans of both artist and wrestler were quick to pick up the track definitely referenced the WWE Hall of Famer.
Booker T had a chance to talk about the track on his recent Hall of Fame podcast and talked about the song itself. Booker T definitely gave the rapper props for the song, talking about how he felt about how one of the biggest rappers in the world paying tribute to him.
“It ain’t about being the guy on the top of the mountain,” Booker said. “It’s about staying relevant. In 2020, Booker T is still relevant heading into 2021. We’re getting ready to do it and do it big. I got to give props, man, I got to give props to Bad Bunny. For all these years, I’ve been waiting on a song about Booker T and now, Bad Bunny, the hottest Latin sensation in the world today, put me on, man. He put me on blast big time and I appreciate it. So staying relevant, Bad Bunny, you did that for me man, and I just want to say, I appreciate it.”
Booker T even responded about whether or not the song was a surprise to him. He went on to reveal that Bad Bunny contacted him to ask his blessing to be referenced on the track.
“He reached out actually, he was a fan. One of those kids, you know, growing up, getting in trouble, doing the spin-a-rooni, scissor kicking somebody. That’s what was so cool about it – it was organic. It wasn’t something that him and I, you know, had to collaborate on. It was just that he was a fan of mine, and I’m a fan of the new generation and what the young guys are doing out there right now.”
Not everyone gets to be immortalized in a song. The fact Booker T has such an accomplishment puts him in a whole different list that not every Hall of Famer gets to be on. You can listen to the track below.
