Bad Bunny’s little pink house is causing all sorts of trouble

There is a house in Humacao, Puerto Rico, that belongs to an 84-year-old man named Román Carrasco Delgado. Painted in pastel pink and yellow, it has a flat roof and a balcony. It’s a prototypical model of the modest, dignified architecture of a working-class barrio, the kind of home that generations of humble Puerto Ricans have built their lives inside. Bad Bunny borrowed the house design and called it “La Casita” (“the little house” in Spanish). He used it in Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos), a short film he created to protest the rapid gentrification, displacement of locals, and cultural erasure taking place on the Caribbean island. Then he built a replica, which he has been hauling into massive stadiums on his ongoing world tour. La Casita takes over the center of the stage and, in theory, gets filled with people from the audience, who dance in the last segment of the concert as the people in Puerto Rico do.

It seemed like a great idea. Then the problems started. First, Carrasco Delgado sued Bad Bunny in September 2025, alleging that the singer’s representatives “fraudulently” used his signature in “two different contracts” and caused him great emotional distress for using his home without permission.

Standing on the balcony of this monument to Puerto Rican working-class life were famous footballers like Kylian Mbappé, billionaires like Inditex heir Marta Ortega, VIP influencers, and dozens of beautiful young white women. The little house had become a Playboy mansion and a symbol
