Bad Bunnyreferenced a viral social media moment he had withKendall Jennerin anew promofor this weekend’sSaturday Night Liveepisode, which marks his hosting debut on the show.
In the first promo, the rapper, 29, attempted to teach theSNLcast member Heidi Gardner the proper pronunciation of “Puerto Rico.”
The following bit included a quick joke about the Latin star’s racy lyrics, but it’s the third and final promo that included a reference to his viral moment.
While standing beside Gardner, 40, the singer nonchalantly swatted a mosquito away from her face.
Bad Bunny lunged for the mosquito while telling Gardner, “Be careful, Heidi! The mosquitoes.” TheSNLcomedian flirtatiously chuckled in response to the host’s “heroic” act.
The joke referenced a video from theUn Verano Sin Tirapper’s vacation with Jenner, 27, where the two are out enjoying nature. In the viralclip, Bad Bunny and a woman, thought to beThe Kardashiansstar came across a chipmunk. She said that the animal is “the cutest thing ever" and tried to lure it closer.
However, Bad Bunny told her, “Mami, be careful.”
“Rabies?” Jenner asked. “The mosquitos," Bad Bunny replied.
