Bad Bunny Shakes the Music World: Residency Finale, Death Threats, Grammy Glory, and a Bold Tour Decision  

Bad Bunny Closes Puerto Rico Residency with Global Spotlight  

Bad Bunny's "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" residency at San Juan's José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum was one of the most talked-about concert runs of 2025. The final show on September 20 was broadcast globally via Prime Video, Twitch, and Amazon Music, enabling fans from every corner of the world to witness his farewell to the stage in the comfort of their homes.

Beyond being a concert series, the residency served as a concert series. It highlighted Puerto Rican artistry while illuminating the pain and resilience of the island, which closely connected to Bad Bunny’s sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Bad Bunny concluded his residency with poignant remarks regarding the unity of Puerto Rico while referencing the anniversary of Hurricane Maria, reminding everyone that “love will always be the solution.”  

Residency Highlights  

• Celebrity surprises, actors and singers, including Ricky Martin, Becky G, and Jon Hamm.  
• Costumes and stage outfits exclusively designed by Puerto Rican designers.  
• Multiple late-night television shows including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers.  
• Bad Bunny’s announcement he will host Saturday Night Live with Doja Cat as a musical guest is on October 4.  

Bad Bunny targeted with ‘credible death threat’  

The Puerto Rican residency was equal parts joyful and celebratory. It was reported that ‘credible death threat’ was aimed toward Bad Bunny, which put the Puerto Rico’s law enforcement’s musical staff on high security. Subsequently, the FBI staff was reported on-site which added an unnecessary stress to the staff.

Although Bad Bunny has not responded directly to this threat, it invites speculation to the potential dangers that artists who attain global popularity must now contend with, and the security implications for the world tour of Bad Bunny, fans and organizers alike, becomes easy to speculate as a concern for all involved.

Why Bad Bunny Left The U.S. Out Of His World Tour  

Arguably, boldest headline to come out of Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour announcement is the absence of U.S. tour dates. Bad Bunny provided his reasoning which he views as a simple matter, a fear of ICE raids. 

As the narrative goes, Bad Bunny articulated his reasoning for not including the US stating it is out of fear of ICE raids during the tour, and concerns that Latino fans may be targeted, and he confirms this is a protective measure rather than an aggressive move toward the US.  

This is a complex move, and for many, a controversial one. It speaks to the deep trust and safety he is willing to afford his fans, but it also speaks to the deep disappointment of millions of fans in the U.S. which, from a socio-political standpoint is loaded to invite debate.

Grammy Domination and Career Highs  

As if he needed more to add to his year, Bad Bunny Gala’s the 2025 Latin Grammy’s to break Édgar Barrera 2 year hold streak. With 12 nominations, he has positioned himself to capture yet another at Latin music’s most pivotal evening. Bad Bunny Grammy nominations are in Album of the Year, Urban Music Album and multiple songwriter categories. The nominations highlight his influence as a performer and a songwriter.  

This award affirms Bad Bunny’s position as one of the decade’s most prominent figures. He has achieved something so few artists are able to achieve. He’s been able to blend genuine commercialization of his music, and authentic representation of his culture.   

Bad Bunny Reported Sued for 1 Million  

Not all news are celebrations for Bad Bunny. Recently it was announced Bad Bunny was Reported Sued for 1 Million,  Puerto Rican widower home was used for his Short film and residency for Puerto Rico.

The lawsuit brought by Román Carrasco Delgado describes how his home was used without his permission, causing him distress and unwanted attention. It remains to be seen whether this will lead to a protracted legal dispute, but for now, it underscores the challenges that can arise when the practice of a discipline involves real people and real communities.  

Sports, Fashion, and Business Moves  

Bad Bunny is expanding beyond music. Rimas Sports, his sports management company, has signed promising Puerto Rican boxer Xander Zayas, which demonstrates Bad Bunny’s commitment to supporting homegrown talent. Still, his sports venture is under some scrutiny, as the Major League Baseball Players Association is investigating claims of ill-gotten gains linked to some of Bad Bunny’s sports agents.  

In the world of fashion, the collaboration with adidas continues to bear fruit. His new Gazelle Indoor “Cabo Rojo” sneaker, inspired by the pink salt flats of Puerto Rico, sold out instantly. It is a testament to Bad Bunny’s influence, which, again, extends well beyond the realm of music.Bad Bunny's Special Position In Culture

Bad Bunny's distinctive quality is not solely based on his music, but also on his boldness in defying conventions, advocating for his community, and and up for making bold choiceseven in the face of controversy. In the span of a year, how many artists manage to balance an international world tour that excludes the U.S, undertake multiple legal conflicts, contend with security challenges, and yet still prevail during an entire award season?

Regardless of everyone's opinion, his choices are leading the charge in opening up the cultural dialogue. For 2025, Bad Bunny represents more than simply an artist; he signifies the intersection of music, politics, and identity.
