Bad Bunny Reveals His Reason For Refraining From Touring The Mainland U.S.

Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny is presently performing at his residency in San Juan, with plans to embark on an international tour in November. Conversely, if you are a fan from the United States, you won’t be seeing him in person anytime soon.

The king of Latin trap decided against visiting the U.S. during his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour,” citing one of the main reasons as concerns over ICE raids. The decision is driven by concerns over the safety of his fans.

I had numerous reasons for not attending the mainland U.S., and none of them stemmed from hatred, as I had previously performed there many times. All of these shows have been successful. Bad Bunny stated in a cover story interview with i-D magazine, which was published on September 10, that all of them had been magnificent. I’ve had the pleasure of forming connections with Latinos residing in the United States. In particular, for a residency in Puerto Rico, since we are an unincorporated territory of the U.S. Individuals from the United States could travel here to watch the performance.

“The famed artist continued that Latinos and Puerto Ricans in the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world.” The main concern was that Immigration and Customs Enforcement could be present at the concert. This is something we’ve been discussing and are very concerned about.

Under the presidency of Donald Trump, ICE’s aggressive methods, which have reportedly involved detaining and deporting Latin Americans without proper judicial proceedings, have fueled concerns about deportation within the Latino community since January. Recently, on Monday, September 8, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to intensify immigration enforcement operations in Chicago and Boston.

Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour” is in support of his sixth album, the same name as the tour, which garnered critical acclaim upon its January 2025 release. The trek is forecast to begin in late November and finish in July 2026.
