Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Bad Bunny is not making any stops in the U.S. on his upcoming “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” world tour over fears that his fans could get deported.
“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate … Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. But there was the issue of — like … ICE could be outside. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” the artist, real name Benito Ocasio, 31, told the magazine i-D.
Bad Bunny finishes up a 30-show residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sunday and will then go on tour to support the “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” album, the artist’s sixth solo studio album.
The tour starts with a show in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on Nov. 21, and will travel to multiple cities primarily in Latin America and Europe, along with a show in Sydney, Australia, and Tokyo, Japan.
The last concert of the tour is scheduled for July 22, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium.
