She's still fair game.

* PassingTheTorch: "X Última Vez" (meant to be read "Por Última Vez", literally "For the Last Time") off ''Legendaddy'') can be read as handing the role of "Reigning King of Reggaetón" to Music/BadBunny (his collaborator on the track) as much as it is a song about having a last date with a doomed love.
