Bad Bunny Skips US Tour Over ICE Raid Concerns

Bad Bunny has explained that his decision to exclude the United States from his 2025-26 Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour was significantly influenced by concerns over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids outside his concerts. While emphasizing that his choice was not out of hatred toward U.S. fans, the Puerto Rican artist expressed worry about the potential impact of ICE's presence on his audiences, particularly Latino and Puerto Rican communities. He highlighted that his residency in Puerto Rico allowed U.S.-based fans to travel there safely, given Puerto Rico's status as a U.S. territory, and encouraged them to attend his shows on the island. Bad Bunny has been vocal about ICE's aggressive deportation actions and even shared footage of an ICE raid in Puerto Rico, criticizing the agency openly. Despite skipping U.S. dates, Bad Bunny plans an extensive tour covering Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, while continuing to focus on his Puerto Rican cultural identity in his music. His choice reflects a growing concern among artists regarding the political climate and its effect on immigrant communities in the U.S.
