Bad Bunny Threatened During San Juan Residency; Secret Service

Bad Bunny was reportedly the target of a credible online death threat during his 31-show No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, which concluded on Sept. 20. Authorities believed the individual may have been armed, prompting a federal response that involved the FBI, Puerto Rico’s Department of Public Safety and, at one point, the Secret Service because U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor attended a show. Venue security was heightened and areas were restricted, but it remained unclear whether a suspect was arrested or formally charged. The episode came amid a separate DOJ-linked indictment accusing a man of targeting Bad Bunny’s U.S. concerts and follows the artist’s decision to avoid U.S. tour dates over concerns about immigration enforcement; Bad Bunny’s team has not publicly commented. During the residency a U.S. tourist was fatally shot in La Perla; police say that shooting was not directly linked to the alleged threat but it heightened overall safety concerns.
