\u201cObviously thought the rules didn\u2019t apply to him because he\u2019s famous, the superiority is sickening, they don\u2019t know how to be humble,\u201d an X user wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat privilege does he have to go around touching artefacts?\u201d asked another.<\/p>\n

Another user said the Tit\u00ed Me Pregunt\u00f3 rapper thought of himself as a \u201chotshot\u201d, saying \u201cnot even going to a museum gets rid of his tacky ways\u201d.<\/p>\n

TMZ reported that museum staff responded swiftly to the incident and reminded him of the museum rules.<\/p>\n

INAH released a statement on social media explaining what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuseum security personnel warned the artist that touching the archaeological pieces was not permitted; after the instruction, the musician immediately removed his hand from the artwork,\u201d the museum said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs is public knowledge, physical contact with archaeological goods is prohibited.\u201d<\/p>\n

INAH emphasised that Mexico\u2019s cultural heritage should be respected by all visitors and warned against physically handling priceless artefacts, as even light contact can cause lasting damage.<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s Federal Law on Monuments outlines that touching, damaging or removing museum artefacts can result in hefty fines and even jail time, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny has since removed the post from his social media.<\/p>\n

The rapper was crowned the top global artist<\/a> on Spotify for 2025 with more than 19.8 billion streams last year.<\/p>\n

He is also set to appear as the headline act for next month\u2019s NFL Superbowl halftime show<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cObviously thought the rules didn\u2019t apply to him because he\u2019s famous, the superiority is sickening, they don\u2019t know…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[74,2196,15435,1558,15436,156,2082,8241,21081,78,75785,34598,6820,63517,3586,111,139,69,1642,254,45788,41401,49519,19554,8290,110493],"class_list":["post-210609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-after","tag-ancient","tag-bad","tag-been","tag-bunny","tag-entertainment","tag-for","tag-himself","tag-historical","tag-in","tag-mayan","tag-mexican","tag-mexico","tag-monument","tag-museum","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-online","tag-photos","tag-posting","tag-slammed","tag-superstar","tag-taken","tag-task","tag-touching"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
