Why Bad Bunny Decided Not to Tour in the U.S.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards 2025 red carpet was hopping.
With Bad Bunny leading the pack of nominees with a whopping 27 nods, celebrities from all corners of the globe descended upon Miami’s James L. Knight Center Oct. 23 to see if the rapper will walk home with his sixth consecutive Artist of the Year title.
But Bad Bunny faced stiff competition ahead of the Goyo and Javier Poza-hosted ceremony. Fuerza Regida trailed closely behind the 31-year-old with 15 nominations—including one in the Artist of the Year category—while Rauw Alejandro had 14 nominations.
Meanwhile, Karol G and Tito Double P faced off with 10 each, as Peso Pluma rounded out the pack of nominees with nine.
And it’s certainly been a big year for Bad Bunny. After all, he was recently announced as the headlining performer at Super Bowl 2026.
“People all around the world who love my music,” he shared during his Oct. 8 appearance on Saturday Night Live, before adding in Spanish, “especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors.”
