Musician Bad Bunny has appeared to hit out at a fan whose phone he threw away in a viral incident.

The incident unfolded back in January when a fan approached the musician and tried to take a selfie, only for him to grab the fan's cellphone and toss it away to their shock.

While he had initially been smiling for the camera, the footage then shows Bad Bunny grabbing the phone and throwing it away.

The fan can be seen with a shocked expression on her face as she realises what has just happened.

Now Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, appears to have hit out at the fan in the lyrics to his new song ‘Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana’.

Bad Bunny has since addressed the incident.

The lyrics say: “You are not my real fan, that's why I threw the cellphone.”

Did you see the subtle reference there?

The musician has also previously addressed the incident, saying it was a 'lack of respect'.

He said: "The person who comes up to me to say hello, to tell me something, or just to meet me, will always receive my attention and respect.

"Those who come to put a phone b****d in my face I will consider it for what it is, a lack of respect and I will treat it likewise."

Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the topic.

One person wrote: "Last time I checked people don’t wait and chase celebrities who they aren’t a fan of so how is he supposed to know who is a real fan and who isn’t?"

Another posted: "She was all up in his space so he threw the phone! ITS OK I UNDERSTAND HUBBY."

A third person was supportive of the musician, writing: "The way I fully support this, don’t shove your phone into someone’s face ever."

Bad Bunny is not the only celebrity to have had an unpleasant experience when a fan approached them.

The musician included lyrics seemingly about the incident in a new song.

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has previously spoken about how she was suffering a panic attack while in public when a fan approached her and asked for a photo and she had to say no.

She revealed: "I’m there and the tears are coming out. I’m crying and crying, this guy’s like, ‘Can I get a selfie?’

"And I was like, ‘I can’t breathe, I’m really sorry. Just having a minute.’ It was after a few moments like that where I was like, ‘I don’t know how to do this."

Now, Clarke prefers to sign things for fans rather than take pictures.

UNILAD has reached out to representatives of Bad Bunny for comment.
