Reports: Bad Bunny Faced ‘Credible’ Death Threat During Puerto Rico Residency

Accounts from Puerto Rican journalist Jay Fonseca describe online threats that prompted heightened federal security at San Juan’s El Choli, though crucial details remain unverified.

Overview

  • Fonseca said an unknown individual posted social-media messages threatening to kill the artist and was believed to be armed.
  • Security was tightened at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, including on Sept. 20, with federal personnel and the FBI reported on site.
  • Outlets note uncertainty over when the threat was made and whether any suspect was detained or charged.
  • Bad Bunny completed the run without incident and was unharmed, with the finale livestreamed to a wide audience.
  • Coverage places the episode in a broader safety context that includes his decision to exclude U.S. dates over ICE concerns and a separate 2024 case involving alleged plans to target his shows.
