What do you do when Mercury retrograde isn’t just messing with your Zoom schedule—but your entire world tour? Oh, only Bad Bunny would have the audacity (and, honestly, the cosmic foresight) to stop his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour from setting foot on U.S. soil, thanks to fears about ICE raids lurking in the shadows like a cursed Saturn return. Seriously, is there a horoscope for “famous reggaeton artists cancel world tour stops because the immigration vibes are that off”? Because if there is, Aquarius is definitely in the wrong house. It’s wild—one minute you’re juggling Grammys, and the next, you’re weighing the existential dread of “Will that bass drop bring joy, or just Homeland Security?” In a world where even Neil Young’s checking his astrological chart before booking a ticket back to America, you have to wonder—has the music stopped, or are we just all listening in a different key now? Catch all the cosmic drama, political edge, and pop culture whiplash right here—LEARN MORE.
Bad Bunny didn’t include any United States stops on his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour due worries of potential ICE raids at his concerts.
In a Wednesday profile with i-D magazine, the three-time Grammy Award winner reflected on his decision to not visit the U.S. on the upcoming tour. When asked if this was due to “concern about [the mass deportations of] Latinos in the United States,” Bad Bunny replied, “Man, honestly, yes.”
“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate — I’ve performed there many times. All of [the shows] have been successful,” he explained. “But specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an unincorporated territory of the US… People from the US could come here to see the show. 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, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”
The superstar and Happy Gilmore 2 actor previously slammed ICE officers for making arrests in Puerto Rico in a post on his Instagram Story. “Those motherfuckers are in these cars, RAV-4s,” Bad Bunny can be heard saying in Spanish in a since-deleted video. “They’re here in Pontezuela. Sons of bitches, instead of letting the people alone and working.”
Bad Bunny’s comments come as international artists have raised concerns in recent months regarding touring under the current administration. Notably, the Chicago Latin music festival Michelada Fest was canceled this May, citing “uncertainty around artist visas and the shifting political climate” under the Trump Administration.
Neil Young, a Canadian-American, penned a letter on his website expressing worry over whether or not he’d be allowed back into the U.S. after his European tour this past summer, due to his vocal criticism of President Donald Trump and his heritage.
“If I come back from Europe and am barred, can’t play my USA tour, all of the folks who bought tickets will not be able to come to a concert by me,” Young wrote. “That is happening all the time now. Countries have new advice for those returning to America. That’s right folks, if you say anything bad about Trump or his administration, you may be barred from re-entering USA. If you are Canadian. If you are a dual citizen like me, who knows? We’ll all find that out together.”
Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour kicks off on Nov. 21 in the Dominican Republic. It will end next year in July in Belgium.
