in Puerto Rico not Vegas. He was outraged at US aid to PR after Hurricane Maria. He sings in Spanish and made it big unlike a lot of Latino singers from days gone by who felt they had to sing in English to make it big. He supported Harris.

11. Bad Bunny has added $200 million into Puerto Rico's economy so far...

How Bad Bunny made Puerto Rico’s economy boom during hurricane season | CNN

.... Bad Bunny, the producers said, wanted to skip the continental US on the tour for his upcoming album. Instead, he would stay in Puerto Rico for a run of shows, all at the Coliseo. If fans from outside Puerto Rico wanted to see Bad Bunny, they would need to come to San Juan after the first nine concerts. Those initial nine performances would be open only to island residents.

….. The effect has been volcanic. Over the past three months, Bad Bunny has drawn an estimated $200 million into the economy so far, according to local economists, and Perez expects that after the residency ends on September 14, the final tally will be far higher.

People who come for Bad Bunny stay in local hotels, eat at local restaurants and even spend money on Bad Bunny-themed tours. Fans want to see his childhood home in Vega Baja, his church, the grocery store where he worked before he became one of the world’s biggest stars.
