Marko Mocks ‘Bad Boy’ Reggaeton Stars in Hilarious Skit: Watch
True to form, Marko (also known as Marko Música) has gone viral on social media—this time, poking fun at reggaetón artists who act like bad boys on their songs when, in reality, they are good-hearted people.
In a nearly two-minute skit titled “The rapper who’s pure malignant in his album but in real life he’s a great guy,” the Venezuelan comedian and influencer is seen mimicking an urban artist recording music in a studio.
Marko—in full character—is aggressive in his rap bars, delivering a full-out tiraera where he chants about owning weapons, hurting people, burning houses, stealing girlfriends and being an atheist because he’s the one and only “el maldito del flow” (the one with damn swag).
Then, in a funny but very relatable twist, Marko is seen taking off his headphones, toning down his voice, and praying for everyone he attacked in the tiraera and bringing out a priest to bless his album. He’s also seen acting as a full-out mama’s boy, a loving father and dog lover.
Fans did not hesitate to leave their opinion in the comment section, saying that the video reminded them of real-life reggaetón giants such as Daddy Yankee, Wisin, Kendo Kaponi and Farruko, to name a few.
The comedian first shared the video back in September 2023 on his official TikTok account @Marko, but resocialized it on his second account @LiberenAMarko on Monday (Aug. 12), where it has garnered over 215K views in less than 24 hours.
Marko, real name Marco Pérez, is confirmed for the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week, returning to Miami Beach from Oct. 14 – 18 at The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater.
