Bad Bunny Speaks Out Against U.S. Tour Absence

In a bold revelation, Bad Bunny has opened up about his decision to leave the United States off his highly anticipated 2025-26 tour itinerary—citing fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

Concerns for Fans and Safety

During an interview with I-D, he candidly expressed his worries about potential ICE presence at his concerts, saying, "I was concerned that they could be waiting outside my concert venue." He emphasized that the reasons for his absence were not rooted in hatred, highlighting the successful and memorable performances he has enjoyed in the U.S.

"I’ve performed there many times and connected with Latino communities living in the U.S.,” Bad Bunny shared, underscoring the importance of his bond with his fans.

Puerto Rico: A Home Away from Home

Bad Bunny also noted the unique status of Puerto Rico as a U.S. territory, suggesting that fans can still travel to see him perform closer to home: "Latinos and Puerto Ricans from the States could easily come here to see the show, or they could travel anywhere in the world to catch me live." This choice reflects his commitment to safety and his deep-rooted connections to his homeland.

A Provocative Stance Against U.S. Performances

Earlier this year, in a cover story with Variety, he hinted that performing in the U.S. felt 'unnecessary', highlighting the numerous opportunities his fans have had to see him over the last six years. His stand on this issue has led to conversations about the implications of touring amidst fears surrounding immigration enforcement.

As fans eagerly await the details of his Debi Tirar Mas Fotos World Tour, one thing is clear: Bad Bunny is unafraid to voice his concerns and prioritize the well-being of his audience.
