Bad Bunny is making waves again as he wraps up an unprecedented thirty-show residency at Puerto Rico’s biggest venue, igniting the island’s tourism scene and smashing box office records. The residency, promoting his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, filled seats during a typically slow season and according to CNN, has brought in at least $196 million in revenue for the island through ticket sales, local business, and a surge in tourism. Fans camped out for tickets, and tailgate-style gatherings have given the shows a festival-like atmosphere. For Puerto Ricans, it’s not just about the music; it’s being seen and celebrated on a global stage.
In a move that’s the talk of both the music industry and social media, Bad Bunny deliberately skipped including the United States mainland in the first leg of his tour. In a recent i-D magazine interview, he explained the decision was rooted in concern for his audience in the face of current immigration enforcement policies and the threat of ICE raids at arenas. This bold act of solidarity has become a flashpoint of conversation online, with some lauding his advocacy and others questioning the precedent it sets for other major touring acts, as reported by KNKX.
The news cycle for Bad Bunny doesn’t stop there. The 2025 Latin Grammy nominations were just unveiled, and he leads the pack with twelve nods, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year, according to KPBS and El País. This time around, his nominations extend far beyond the urban and reggaeton categories he’s historically dominated, reflecting the genre-blurring, often politically charged nature of his recent work. The track “LO QUE LE PASO A HAWAii,” a mournful rumination on Puerto Rican identity, gentrification, and colonial status, is being highlighted as a possible history-maker should it win one of the major prizes—a first for Bad Bunny, who despite global dominance, hasn’t yet taken home a Latin Grammy in one of the ceremony’s three biggest categories.
Social media channels, especially TikTok and Instagram, are awash with clips from the final concerts of the San Juan residency. Fans are sharing emotional testimonies about feeling pride and connection with their culture through his music. Spanish-language outlets and trend spotters note a surge in young locals expressing renewed commitment to staying on the island, inspired by Bad Bunny’s decision to center his artistry at home.
Bad Bunny’s latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, continues to perform strongly on global music charts. InMusic recently highlighted it as one of 2025’s most anticipated—and now top-selling—releases, calling it a love letter to Puerto Rico while resonating with a global audience. The next major moment will be the kick-off of his world tour in the Dominican Republic later this month, as his Puerto Rico run comes to an end.
