Bad Bunny took on Saturday Night Live head-on and addressed skeptics who questioned his ability to host the NBC sketch show. The global superstar wasted no time during his monologue to hit back at critics who said he didn’t dominate the English language.

“People are wondering I can’t host this show because English is not my first language,” Bad Bunny said. “I don’t know if they know but I do whatever I want. I can host this show in English. I can order McDonald’s in English. I can have sex in English. But I prefer sex in Spanish because it’s just better.”

Bad Bunny then switched to Spanish giving a shoutout to “all the Latinos in the world and especially the ones that are watching me live in Puerto Rico.”

As he continued to speak in Spanish, the Puerto Rican star saw that the captions on the screen said “SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH,” a call back to the controversy at the Grammys where CBS didn’t have close captioners translating what Bad Bunny was singing in Spanish.

Bad Bunny then recruited a friend to help him out close out his monologue and called on Pedro Pascal who hosted SNL earlier this year.

“When you a monologue, I find it’s always charming to do a self-deprecating joke,” Pascal advised Bad Bunny. “It’s like a joke you make about part of your body or your face that’s unflattering.”

Bad Bunny hit back and said, “I don’t have any.”

Pascal then advised that “audiences love it when you show an embarrassing photo of yourself.” The host then showed a photo of himself in a sexy photoshoot where he was only covered by a towel.
