After his performance, fans began to assume that Bad Bunny implied he could have written Harry‘s “As It Was,” but Harry could not do his song.

On Monday (April 17), a representative for Bad Bunny said the artist declined to comment, but told Rolling Stone that the artist did not approve the image depicting the tweet.

The visual content company behind his set also confirmed that the artist did not approve the tweet.

Sturdy.Co released the following statement: “Our intention is to create light hearted designs that embody Bad Bunny’s personality and amplify the experience he presents as a performer. The request from the artist during the visuals for ‘El Apagón’ performance was to use the image only and not text from the tweet, which we take responsibility for and correct it for Friday’s performance. These visuals are a celebration of Bad Bunny and his dedication to empowering his native island, Puerto Rico.”
