J Balvin and Residente Announce Peace, Ending Years-Long Feud

The artists attributed the detente to months of private conversations that preceded their Instagram post.

Overview

  • The pair shared a joint Instagram photo on Dec. 31 declaring their rift over and saying they met, listened and understood each other.
  • The post surged to more than 180,000 likes within about 30 minutes as Arcángel, Yandel, Tito El Bambino and others voiced support.
  • Their dispute dates to late 2021 and intensified with Residente’s 2022 “BZRP Music Sessions #49,” which reached No. 22 on Hot Latin Songs and has over 203 million views.
  • Five days earlier, J Balvin released his own Bizarrap session (“BZRP Music Sessions #62/66”) featuring introspective lyrics and no direct response to Residente.
  • No additional details or plans were announced, and reaction from Latin music figures has been broadly positive, following Balvin’s recent onstage reconciliation with Bad Bunny.
