Bad Bunny is once again making international headlines this week with the culmination of his historic San Juan residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, which wraps up on September 14. This residency, titled "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí," has drawn an estimated 600,000 fans from the United States, Latin America, and Europe. The event has generated an extraordinary $200 million boost for Puerto Rico’s local economy, according to coverage from Digital Music News, making it one of the most successful and influential concert series the island has ever seen. Bad Bunny used every night of this 30-show run not only as a musical experience but as a celebration of Puerto Rican culture—encouraging fans to explore local food, music, and even salsa dancing while they were in town.
While most global superstars would embark on a massive multi-country tour, Bad Bunny instead invited the world to come to him. This strategy both deepened his ties with the island and sent a strong message about the cultural power and resilience of Puerto Rico. Forbes called this residency a blueprint for how a celebrity’s brand can drive real economic and cultural transformation.
There’s a lot of buzz, and not a little controversy, around why Bad Bunny has left the United States off the touring schedule for his upcoming "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour," set to begin November 21 in the Dominican Republic. In a candid interview with i-D magazine, Bad Bunny explained that the decision is rooted in deep concern over ICE—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—showing up outside his concerts. He didn’t want to put any Latino fans at risk, especially those who might fear deportation or harassment at major U.S. venues. According to The Fader and Los Angeles Times, he’s openly criticized ICE actions in both mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico, posting videos and speaking out on social media about the impact of these raids on the community. He stressed that U.S. fans are absolutely not forgotten: anyone is welcome to attend shows in Puerto Rico or abroad, reaffirming his commitment to connecting with his American audience, just in a safer context for everyone.
Bad Bunny is also dominating the music headlines for his upcoming studio album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," which is scheduled for release January 5, 2025. According to Variety and AOL, the album is expected to include 17 tracks, among them "El Clúb" and "Pitorro De Coco," songs that have already dropped and which explore themes of nostalgia and the complexities of moving on from love. Critics and streaming platforms have already marked it as one of the most anticipated releases of the new year, promising a fresh blend of EDM, plena, and signature Bad Bunny introspection. This highly awaited project follows a period of high-profile singles and viral performances, keeping fans eager for his next musical chapter.
Adding to his record-breaking year, Bad Bunny shattered another milestone by securing 27 nominations at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, the largest tally ever for any artist in a single year. Latin Times notes that these nominations span top categories, including Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Top Latin Album for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," and multiple Hot Latin Song entries. He’s widely expected to be the star of the October 23 ceremony, further cementing his dominance across Latin and global music scenes.
Across social media, fans are celebrating the impact of his residency and discussing plans to travel internationally for the new tour, given the absence of U.S. dates. Venues in Europe, Latin America, Japan, Australia, and the Caribbean are preparing for huge turnout as Bad Bunny’s global influence continues to expand.
