Spencer Pratt admitted he duped fans with some tricky editing surrounding Bad Bunny’s buzz around wife Heidi Montag’s viral music release, “Superficial.”
Speaking on the Thursday, January 23 episode of podcast “Deux U by Deux Moi,” Pratt admitted not all was as it seemed with the clip.
“I edited that,” Pratt, 41, confessed, adding that “the original Bad Bunny’s music comes on” in the real, original clip as opposed to Montag’s song “Superficial” in the edited version.
Pratt’s sneaky change made it appear as though Bad Bunny was supporting Montag’s chart topper instead of his own release.
Spencer Pratt has taken issue with “Call Her Daddy” podcaster, Alex Cooper, claiming she declined to promote wife Heidi Montag’s song. During a TikTok Live interview with Bethenny Frankel on Saturday, January 18, Pratt, 41, said he asked Cooper, 30, to “post” a song from Superficial, the 2010 album released by Montag, 38. The alleged […]
“So now everyone thinks that Bad Bunny did like a Heidi promo but he initially… his real video that didn’t go viral was him, like, showing off to me,” Pratt explained.
He added, “That is my favorite thing right now on the internet. Shoutout to People magazine. They don’t know, but they just posted like, ‘“Superficial”’ getting endorsed by Bad Bunny.’”

During the podcast, Pratt also touched on his beef with Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper. Cooper caught The Hills star’s ire by refusing to use a TikTok sound of Montag’s music via her social media account after the couple’s house burned down. (Pratt and Montag are hoping to use the revenue made to rebuild their home and Pratt’s parents’ home, which both burned down in the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this month.)
“I wanted to be like, ‘Hey girl, we don’t have a house, my parents don’t have a house, I just need a TikTok audio, I’m not asking you to send me money or give me a cut of your Unwell network,’ so I took it so personally,” Pratt said. “Then the people in the comments section were like, ‘She doesn’t owe you…’ No, I do feel like she owes me a TikTok sound when I’ve helped market her stuff, promoted it, invested in her success.”
However, Pratt said he’s putting the bad blood behind him as he focuses on raising money to rebuild his home and his parents’ home in Pacific Palisades – both of which went up in flames.
“I need to make like $10 million fast so going in that low frequency energy where… it’s not going to help the cause. I got caught up,” he said. “And that’s why I do like comments sections because a lot of people who do care about me were like, ‘Spencer, stay on the path you’re on, focus on the music.’ But part of me was like, ‘This is me focused on the music but I don’t need them.’ I have enough of these new people all over the world with their smaller platforms posting non-stop, creating a way bigger wave than just one person with their niche audience.”
