Bad Bunny took the stage at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada, tonight to perform “Weltita,” from his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Encased in a transparent box with images of palm trees projected on the sides, he was joined by members of the Puerto Rican band Chuwi, who also feature on the track. Watch the performance on X.

At this year’s Latin Grammys, Bad Bunny was up for nine awards, including double nominations in the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Urban Song categories. He took home five trophies in total—Album of the Year, Best Urban Music Album, Best Reggaeton Performance, for “Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR,” and both Best Urban Song and Best Urban/Urban Fusion Performance, for “DTMF.”

Bad Bunny shared Debí Tirar Más Fotos in January. The Puerto Rican superstar is set for a banner 2026: he’ll perform the halftime show at Super Bowl LX in the midst of his upcoming world tour, and is nominated in six categories at the 2026 Grammy Awards, including Album, Song, and Record of the Year.

Bad Bunny Takes Swipe at ICE at Latin Grammys

Bad Bunny appeared to us his acceptance speech at the 2025 Latin Grammys to deliver a defiant rebuke of ICE and the Trump administration’s hostile action toward immigrants.

After winning Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Bad Bunny dedicated the award to “all the children and young people of Latin America, and especially those from Puerto Rico.” The brief speech, delivered in Spanish, continued by taking a not so subtle dig at ICE.

“Never stop dreaming and being yourselves,” Bad Bunny said. “Never forget where you come from. There are many ways to defend where you’re from. We chose music.”

The speech came shortly after the US government confirmed that ICE will have a presence at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8th, when Bad Bunny performs at the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. This is widely viewed as a response to comments Bad Bunny made about excluding the US from his world tour out of fear that ICE could conduct raids outside of his shows.

Bad Bunny’s booking at the Super Bowl has been met with an outage from the right, with a recent Quinnipiac University survey showing 63% of Republicans disapprove of the NFL’s choice. This includes President Trump himself, who has called the booking “ridiculous” and “crazy,” and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who said of the NFL: “They suck, and we’ll win.”

However, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has stood by the decision, pointing out the obvious. “[Bad Bunny is] one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world,” Goodell said. “It’s an important element to the entertainment value, and it’s carefully thought through.”

For his part, Bad Bunny previously hit back at critics during his recent SNL monologue, telling non-Spanish speakers they have “four months to learn” Spanish.

Bad Bunny is also one of the leading nominees for the 2026 Grammy Awards, earning nods for Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos and Song of the Year for “DtMF.”

How to Watch the Latin Grammys Outside the U.S: Best VPN Services

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Variety may receive an affiliate commission.

The best in Latin music will be celebrated Thursday night at the Latin Grammys which take place Nov. 13 in Las Vegas. Bad Bunny, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, Karol G, Fuerza Regida, Chuwi and Marco Antonio Solís are slated to perform at this year’s event, which will be hosted by Maluma and Roselyn Sánchez.

The three-hour telecast will be produced by TelevisaUnivision and air across TelevisaUnivision’s U.S. platforms, beginning at 8 p.m. ET, preceded by a one-hour pre-show starting at 7 p.m. ET.

Since the Latin Grammys are primarily licensed for U.S. broadcast, those tuning in from outside of the U.S might want to sign up for a VPN service. While Univision and UniMás are available in parts of Latin America through local carriers, the U.S. streams (including the official live broadcasts tied to TelevisaUnivision-owned digital platforms) are typically geo-restricted.

We recommend NordVPN, whose plans are currently up to 77%% off ahead of Black Friday.

Bad Bunny leads the nominations list with 12 nods including recognitions for record of the year, album of the year and song of the year for his chart-topping “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” The album fueled his three-month residency in Puerto Rico, which wrapped up this September.

Argentinian duo Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso earned 10 nominations including record of the year, album of the year and song of the year, among others. Karol G received three nominations including record of the year, song of the year and best tropical song, while Fuerza Regida was nominated for best regional song.

Myke Towers' 'Tengo Celos' Tops Three Latin Charts Simultaneously

Myke Towers’ ‘Tengo Celos’ Tops Three Latin Charts Simultaneously

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Myke Towers achieves a triple victory with his latest single, “Tengo Celos,” which dominates Billboard’s Latin Airplay, Latin Pop Airplay, and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts (each dated Nov. 15). This marks his second triple-chart win in 2025, following a similar accomplishment on the Aug. 9-dated rankings. It jumps 10-1 on Latin Airplay, 2-1 on Latin Pop Airplay and 4-1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay.

“Seeing my name at No. 1 on all the radio charts in the United States and Puerto Rico is something that still amazes me, because behind every achievement like this there’s much more than numbers: there are sleepless nights, sacrifices, tough decisions, and above all, a real connection with the people,” Towers tells Billboard.

“Tengo Celos” was released July 17, as part of Towers’ album Island Boyz, via OneWorld International/Warner/Warner Latina. While the set reached No. 8 high on the Latin Rhythm Albums chart then, the song skyrockets 10-1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart after a 43% gain in audience impressions, to 8.1 million, earned in the United States on the week ending Nov. 6, according to Luminate.

The latest victory secures Towers his 16th No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart. It follows “Soleao,” with Quevedo, which became the first track from Island Boyz to reach the top spot in August. As a solo artist without collaborations, “Tengo Celos” becomes Towers’ fourth chart-topper on the overall Latin radio tally, joining “Lala” (2023) as well as “La Falda” and “La Capi,” both in 2024.

“This No. 1 is for my team, for those who believe, for the radio stations that support me, and for the audience that always stands by me,” Towers adds. “Representing my island and seeing how Latin music continues to grow around the world is a blessing that I never take for granted. We keep working with the same hunger and the same faith as on the first day.”

As “Tengo Celos” secures a triple coronation across the Latin Airplay, Latin Rhythm Airplay, and Latin Pop Airplay charts, it becomes the fourth song to accomplish this feat in 2025. Towers previously hit the same milestone in August with his Quevedo collab, “Soleao.” Earlier this year, Danny Ocean and Kapo’s “Imagínate” topped all three charts (April). Most recently, Maluma joined the list of triple-achievers with “Bronceador” in October.

Rosalia and Latin Mafia: Are They Collaborating Next?

Rosalia and Latin Mafia: Are They Collaborating Next?

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The Spanish singer is getting ready to drop her album Lux, which features Yahritza, Bjork, Yves Tumor, and more

There could be a collaboration in the works between two of the most avant-garde acts in Spanish-language music. After previously declaring herself a fan of Latin Mafia, Rosalía recently spent a wild night in Mexico City with the genre-bending trio.

In August, Rolling Stone caught up with Latin Mafia and during the chat, the de la Rosa brothers mentioned Rosalía as an artist that they would love to collaborate with in the future. A few days later, the Spanish pop star said in an Ask Me Anything with Elle that she would include Latin Mafia in a dream music festival line-up. After mentioning each other in interviews, Latin Mafia and Rosalía’s worlds finally collided last week.

Trending Stories

While Rosalía was in Mexico City on Oct. 29 hosting a listening session for her upcoming album Lux, she ended up partying with Latin Mafia. The Motomami hit-maker broadcast most of the evening’s festivities to her fans on TikTok live: Rosalía and Latin Mafia first enjoyed a drag show with Jenni Rivera and Juan Gabriel impersonators. As Rivera, La Más Draga star Deborah La Grande poured a bottle of tequila into Rosalía’s mouth. 

The night culminated at La Casa De Toño where Rosalía enjoyed local Mexican food like pozole and enfrijoladas with Latin Mafia. After the late night meal, Milton of Latin Mafia gifted Rosalía a necklace that included a pendant of the Virgin of Guadalupe. She later wrote Lux on his arm, so that he could get it tattooed. Though Latin Mafia don’t feature on Lux album, after this surprising hang in CDMX, there’s a strong chance that they might join forces in the studio very soon.

Bad Bunny Gives Emotional Latin Artist of the Century Speech

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Bad Bunny knows exactly how much work went into building a career that would lead to him being named the Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards. At the ceremony in Miami, the acclaimed artist delivered an emotional acceptance speech that celebrated his contributions to music and honored the musicians who inspired him to continue moving forward.

“I’m aware that this award could have been for any of the artists here tonight who have also contributed to Latin music, who have inspired me, who are why I’m here, and those who are dreaming of being here,” Bad Bunny said. “I will always identify with those artists because I consider myself a young man who continues to dream, with many goals and things to do.”

As the evening’s top honoree, he revealed that he didn’t prepare an elaborate speech ahead of time. Instead, he opted to speak from the heart in that moment and process the reality later. “I didn’t have any practiced words,” he said. “I still don’t understand, among so many artists, why me? But I’m grateful. This is yours because you have me here. I don’t know, God wanted me to receive it because it doesn’t feed my ego. I receive it without arrogance, very humbly, and I will remain the same.”

Rita Moreno welcomed Bad Bunny to the stage with a moving introduction. Moreno spent her early years in Puerto Rico before launching an acting career that would make her the third person to earn the prestigious EGOT. “Today I see an artist who brings to the entire world that same strength, that same passion that helped me never give up,” Moreno said. “It moves me from the bottom of my heart, Benito, to present you with the Billboard Latin Artist of the 21st Century Award, Bad Bunny!”

Bad Bunny expressed his respect and admiration for Moreno. “Following your words, every time I hear other artists express themselves that way about me, it gives me the confidence that being myself and doing the things I do from the heart will always be a great decision, because that’s what I’ve done since day one, discovering who I am and what I represent,” he said.

The musician’s list of accolades runs long. In 2020, his fourth album El Último Tour del Mundo became the first all-Spanish language album to top the Billboard 200 albums chart. Two years later, Un Verano Sin Ti became the first all-Spanish language album to receive an Album of the Year nomination at the Grammy Awards. It’s also Spotify’s most-streamed album of all time with over 20 billion streams.

In February, Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. His set will mark the first time an artist has delivered their set completely in Spanish. When the performance was first announced, he emphasized community and humility in the same way he did in his Billboard Latin Music Awards speech. “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” he said. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown … this is for my people, my culture, and our history.”
