SOUTH BRONX (WABC) — The South Bronx was the place for Bad Bunny wannabes to be on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Roberto Clemente Plaza was hopping with Bad Bunny lookalikes. They were competing for a $500 prize, along with endless bragging rights.<\/p>\n

Some of the competitors tried to emulate the rapper’s sound while others attempted to replicate his moves.<\/p>\n

The winner was a 24-year-old named Justin, who claims he just showed up at the last minute.<\/p>\n

“I posted a TikTok right before coming here and then I was like posting Bad Bunny and dancing and everybody’s like ‘you look like you have such a strong resemblance,’ and I’m like ‘ok, we’re coming today!'” Justin said.<\/p>\n

The contest was sponsored in part by 7th Street Burger.<\/p>\n
