Published Aug 24, 2026 · via Primera Hora

Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) closed his international tour "Debí tirar más fotos" with shows at Estadio Hiram Bithorn in San Juan this past weekend. According to Primera Hora, the concerts became a platform for reflections on pride in Puerto Rico and calls for change benefiting its people, alongside music, dancing and fireworks. He addressed the island's water and electricity service problems from the start of the show, and referenced Esencia, a $2 billion luxury development project in the southwest region of Puerto Rico that has drawn criticism from environmentalists over its potential damage.

Puerto Rico, gracias. Soy de ustedes por siempre

He repeatedly expressed pride in being an ambassador for his homeland, contrasting the joy of celebrating at home with his gratitude toward fans who welcome him abroad. Quoted statements include: "I'm proud to be from here... Thank you again for all the love you give me," and "I can't bring water to those who don't have water.

I can't bring electricity to those who lose it every day. What I want today is to bring you a little joy... the desire to keep feeling this pride of being from here." He had announced Monday that the tour would close "at home."
