They say, “If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen,” but Bad Bunny probably never thought this adage would apply to an interview.
On Thursday, while sitting in the hot seat of Sean Evan’s “First We Feast” show, “Hot Ones,” the Grammy-winning rapper bit off a little bit more than he could chew.
Opening the segment, Evans asked, “How do you think you’ll do taking on the wings today?” Seated in front of the volcanoes of sauce and wings, Bad Bunny confidently responded that the atmosphere felt “spicy,” and that he could already “feeling the spiciness in [his] face” from the mere scent wafting through the air.
The rapper took his first bite like a seasoned pro, and joked, “We’re done,” in Spanish, as if hoping that this was the extent of his time with the “wings of death.” Alas, this was not the end — and that’s when things heated up a notch.
“It burns at the ends, fuck, it’s going to fuck up my intestines,” he said. “That’s what scares me. I’m not scared now because I put this in my mouth and that passes. My ass is what’s going to be messed up when it’s time to sit down.”
A few levels of spice later, while discussing his musical career, Bad Bunny started feeling the burn. Evans asked how he was holding up.
“I’m doing great,” the artist sarcastically stated. “I feel like I will be at the bathroom the whole trip from here to Puerto Rico.”
Directly beside him was a glass of milk to soothe the sting from the wings, and the rapper lapped it up. “My tongue is burning, so I feel like a cat doing this.”

The “MONACO” artist powered through a few more questions before realizing that his head was on fire. “My head is hurting, fuck,” he grimaced.
To help alleviate some of the pain, Evans offered the artist some ice cream, which he said was “fixing [his] whole life.” But by the next wing, not even sticking his tongue in the ice cream helped, and he bowed out gracefully.
His participation earned him a spot in the show’s “Wall-Most Made It,” list — joining artists such as Taraji P. Henson and Ice Spice.
