    I thought he held the US shows all in Puerto Rico so people would visit there? I just heard a story about it on npr

      Every time I hear his name, I get mixed up with Bhad Bhabie and wonder WTF is wrong with people for still paying her any attention. Then realize, apparently it’s just me. I’m the problem.

      In addition to being an insanely popular musician he’s also been in several WWE matches (and actually did great,) has been on SNL, and played the waiter-turned-caddy in Happy Gilmore 2 in a guest spot. So he’s pretty well known. Not to be aggro or suggest that’s the creme de la creme of celebrity, just to let you know the level he operates on. He’s pretty well recognized at a glance to a lot of people.

      He’s a Mexican club music musician, his stuff is actually pretty good but rather raunchy if you speak the language.

      If you’re a honky like me you may take a liking to his recent work with the Gorillaz

    Honestly, depending on your ethnicity or where you live, touring as a musician in the U.S. these days seems difficult because of that for you and your fans. I don’t get why anyone overseas would want to tour in the U.S. right now.

      I don’t get why anyone from overseas would come to the US right now. They can just randomly decide today’s your day and throw you in prison in Louisiana for no reason at all.

        It’s based on entitlement. “That would never happen to me because I’m a good person”

          It shouldn’t really be an “entitlement” mindset to think that you shouldn’t go to prison if you didn’t do anything wrong.

            It’s completely and utterly anti-american to be forced to have that mindset.

            Whoever would cause that mindset is the active enemy of every single citizen.

      Just minor clarification: being born in Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny is a US citizen and (theoretically) wouldn’t need to fear being deported, but some of his fans might.

      But given that ICE is just straight up targeting brown people and holding them indefinitely regardless of legal status or citizenship, it’s still too great a risk to do anything in the US.

        I’ve literally seen border control agents in the airport not know that PR means US Citizen right in front of me. And ICE actively boasts about deporting people to random countries completely unrelated to the person being deported. Reality isn’t going to stop them.

    I imagine he doesn’t want to see a news headline that says “ICE snatches x amount of people from Bad Bunny concert” I wouldn’t want that either.

        C’mon man… It would have taken seconds to just say who they were, and no time at all for you to just not respond. But you had to sound edgy.

          Right, I should have been more like some asshole who wanted to not sound edgy at all by saying they don’t know who this super famous guy is and by responding to every single comment and blaming the “hivemind.” Jesus christ.

        I’m a 54 white dude and even I knew who this was. I mean mainly because he was in that Brad Pitt movie Bullet Train but still…

        Thank you. Apparently the hive will rip you to shreds if you don’t know who their favorite celebrities are?
        I appreciate you for responding without insults. I thought this place was different than Reddit. Seems it’s the same arrogance, but surprisingly more smug.

        What’s hilarious is the amount of smug arrogance it takes to spend your time typing up a witty response just so you can be a part of the public flogging of someone that simply asked a honest question-

        Where you could have just answered the question. Or better yet, said nothing at all.
