Bad Bunny is making major headlines this week, not just in music but across economic news and social media, all thanks to his blockbuster residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He’s currently in the final stretch of his historic **No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí** residency at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, which wraps up September 14. The residency has cemented itself as a cultural phenomenon, shattering attendance records and bringing an estimated 600,000 fans to the island. Promoters say ticket demand is still “off the scale,” and the economic effects are undeniable: The New York Times reports the residency’s impact on tourism has created a direct economic gain of $250 million, with overall spending pushing $400 million during what’s normally Puerto Rico’s slow season.

Bad Bunny himself recently said to Today that this residency has been “so far my best experience in music, maybe life.” He’s performing at home, with his family, and says showing off Puerto Rico’s culture “right there in my house” is something “magical.” ASM Global, which manages the venue, confirmed preparations for the extended residency had been in motion for over a year, and Bad Bunny surprised fans with spontaneous appearances, like the pop-up show at a local college bar back in January.

A-listers are flocking to his shows. This week, Cuban actress Ana de Armas went viral after videos surfaced of her partying, dancing, and sharing laughs at Bad Bunny’s residence in Puerto Rico. Spanish actor Paco León also attended, posting his own party footage to social media, which racked up millions of views and left fans buzzing about who else might show up.

Other recent celebrity sightings at the concerts include Latin pop icon Belinda, who said their first meeting lived up to the hype—videos of the two together, dancing onstage, exploded across Instagram and TikTok. Every new guest appearance becomes an instant trending topic, and social feeds are flooded daily with clips from the show, dubbed by many as “the event of the year” in Latin music.

Bad Bunny is also making news due to his absence at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Despite being nominated for awards like Best Latin for “Baile Inolvidable,” Best Album for **Debí Tirar Más Fotos**, and Best Artist—alongside Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd—he skipped the awards ceremony because of his residency schedule, leading fans and industry insiders to talk about the growing power of live performances over traditional awards shows.

Drama sparked online this week when Bad Bunny’s loyal fanbase called out Israeli artist Odeya Azoulay for allegedly copying the album cover art from his most recent album. The controversy went viral so quickly that Spotify took down her single after fan pressure, and discussions about artistic integrity and cultural ownership trended across social platforms.

Musically, Bad Bunny continues to thrive. His album **Debí Tirar Más Fotos** is one of the most streamed projects of 2025, anchoring his residency shows and maintaining a constant presence on global playlists. Music sites like InMusicBlog praise Bad Bunny’s influence, noting that his latest project helped kick off what’s being described as a monumental year for new albums across the industry.

As the residency heads into its closing nights, anticipation is building for Bad Bunny’s upcoming eight-month world tour, slated to begin in December. Industry insiders are already predicting more record-breaking numbers, putting him at the forefront of not just Latin music, but the global pop landscape.
