Bad Bunny Faced 'Credible' Death Threat During Puerto Rico Residency, Journalist Says

Officials have not said when the threat was made or whether anyone was taken into custody.

Overview

  • Puerto Rican journalist Jay Fonseca reported that an online user threatened to kill the artist and was later identified as someone who appeared to be armed.
  • Fonseca said federal security was present at the Sept. 20 finale at San Juan’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico, with personnel on heightened alert.
  • He added that access to additional sections of the venue was restricted and described the final-night security posture as zealous and stealthy.
  • Outlets noted it remains unclear whether authorities were on hand for the full run or if a suspect was arrested, and Bad Bunny has not issued a public statement.
  • In a separate 2024 case, Arizona man Mark Adams Prieto was believed to have targeted Bad Bunny concerts in Atlanta, though the Justice Department did not name the artist.
