The 25 Puerto Rican Latin trap singer is hitting the pause button on his European tour to go home and join thousands of civilians protesting against Governor Ricardo Rosselló, demanding his resignation.
During the past weekend, a nearly 900-page private group chat between Rosselló and several associates in his executive team was published, generating a wave of protests and doubts about decisions by the government.
After the news, Bad Bunny reacted, posting a 10-minute video on Instagram.
“This is about respect, to all Puerto Ricans,” said the singer, adding, “I live in Puerto Rico, my family lives in Puerto Rico, my friends. What happens in Puerto Rico matters to me.”
Later he said, “I have the right to speak and every Puerto Rican has the right to go out on the street.”
It’s expected that Bad Bunny will arrive on the island Wednesday and will participate in a march that he convened at 5:00 pm ET in San Juan. Fellow artist Residenteis expected to join the march.
