Bad Bunny's bold take speaks for millions (but likely on deaf ears)

Must-said words.

To be clear, this article is not going to espouse political views of our own. This is about how Bad Bunny feels about a certain situation that recently happened in his native Puetro Rico, and one that has been mirrored in many other places in the United States.

The issue for Bad Bunny is that he witnessed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in his hometown of Avenida Pontezuela, Carolina. He then posted a video of the raid on social media with some non-family friendly wording.

Of course, he has a right to be upset, just as anyone has a right to be upset on either side of the situation. The irony is that nothing that Bad Bunny, or any other entertainer says about the situation, will likely change anything.

Bad Bunny does not hold back in his opinion of a recent ICE raid

There has been a long-held belief that an artist or writer can change the course of how any given government works. There are plenty examples of that happening, though one might sadly safely assume doing that in the United States currently is more difficult.

Bad Bunny narrated the clip of the raid, and said, "Look, those (expletive) are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela. Sons of (expletive), instead of leaving the people alone and working there."

Other musical artists have spoken out about the issue, but few have witnessed a raid. Most have spoken out during pre-scheduled protest.

In happier Bad Bunny news, he did recently announced dates for his Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour beginning late in 2025 and the beginning of 2026. Prior to the tour, he will also hold a massive 30-date residency at El Choli in San Juan.
