Does Bad Bunny get sued frequently?

Apparently he likes to use voices and infringe on occasion. That is with people who like to inflate claims, some of whom are unhappy ex girlfriend.

I think his greatest indiscretion however is his music. Sad the public will be forced to suffer through such during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
