Bad Bunny calls out Trump's anti-immigrant policies using faux voice recording
The Puerto Rican reggaeton star released the music video for "NUEVAYoL" off his latest album "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS" on Friday morning, seemingly taking a stand against Donald Trump's anti-immigrant policies and rhetoric. Towards the end of the video, as people huddle around an old school radio, a voice meant to emulate Trump's very own can be heard saying: "I made a mistake. I want to apologize to the immigrants in America."
"I'm in the United States. I know America is the whole continent," the faux Trump continues. "I want to say that this country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans …"
Recently, due to Trump's ongoing immigration crackdown, Southern California has been the epicenter of dozens of ICE raids since early June. On July 3, Congress passed Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which will allocate $45 billion for immigration detention centers as well as about $30 billion to hire more ICE personnel, for transportation costs and to maintain ICE facilities, according to NPR.
Bad Bunny features Puerto Rico flag across Statue of Liberty in music video
It wouldn't be a Bad Bunny music video without giving a nod to his Puerto Rican heritage.
In the music video, the 31-year-old also features a powerful image of the Puerto Rican flag against the Statue of Liberty's forehead. Bad Bunny ended the "NUEVAYoL" music video with another message: "Juntos Somos Más Fuertes" ("Together We Are Stronger").
Bad Bunny's latest album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" pays tribute to his Boricua roots and sees the singer incorporate traditional genres such as Plena, salsa and jibaro into his signature Latin urbano sound. The 17-track LP features collaborations with Puerto Rican acts including RaiNao, Omar Courtz and Dei V, and Los Pleneros de la Cresta.
What happens now? Bad Bunny's residency is supercharging Puerto Rico's tourism.
In honor of the album's release, Bad Bunny is hosting an estimated 600,000 concertgoers at his sold-out No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí concert residency, which will take place at the Coliseo de Puerto from July 11 to Sept. 14. "The idea for the residency was always there, for as long as I can remember," Bad Bunny told Variety in an interview. "But it became difficult to ignore, the more time passed. I'll admit, it was hard to complete my last tour, because all I wanted to do was move into this chapter."

In May, Bad Bunny announced a world tour for "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS" − but to many fans' surprise, it excluded the U.S. The tour will kick off Nov. 21 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before making its way through Latin America through late February. Bad Bunny will also perform in Sydney, Australia, for the first time, before a performance in Tokyo in March. He'll be hitting up Europe in June and July, visiting London, Marseille, Stockholm and Milan.
Bad Bunny's residency is supercharging Puerto Rico's tourism
With an estimated 600,000 attendees throughout the residency, the concert series is sparking what Glorianna Yamín, vice president of marketing at Discover Puerto Rico, called a "peak period for tourism."
Halfway around the world, Hawaii's high levels of tourism are negatively impacting the islands. From overcrowded trails to traffic congestion, the Pacific islands have been actively seeking visitors who want to create a deeper connection with Hawaii. Puerto Rico, for its part, is paying attention. "It's definitely a change for the industry," Yamín told USA TODAY. "The entire tourism industry is getting ready."
It's not just about the crowds. Discover Puerto Rico (DPR), the island's destination marketing organization, is using this moment to highlight the importance of responsible and sustainable tourism.

"We are making sure that we're educating those visitors; first, so they behave as they should, but also so they're intrigued about our culture, our music, our history, our gastronomy … things Bad Bunny touches on in his album and already has momentum with," Yamín said.

Trump says Iran has not agreed to inspections, give up enrichment
President Donald Trump said on Friday that Iran had not agreed to inspections of its nuclear program or to give up enriching uranium. He told reporters aboard Air Force One that he believed Tehran's nuclear program had been set back permanently although Iran could restart it at a different location. Trump said he would discuss Iran with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits the White House on Monday. Advertisement 'I would say it's set back permanently,' Trump said as he traveled to New Jersey after an Independence Day celebration at the White House. 'I would think they'd have to start at a different location. And if they did start, it would be a problem.' 5 President Donald Trump speaks to reporters aboard Air Force One during a fight to New Jersey on July 4, 2025. REUTERS Trump said he would not allow Tehran to resume its nuclear program, adding that Iran did want to meet with him. Advertisement The UN nuclear watchdog said on Friday it had pulled its last remaining inspectors from Iran as a standoff deepens over their return to the country's nuclear facilities bombed by the United States and Israel. The US and Israel say Iran was enriching uranium to build nuclear weapons. Tehran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Israel launched its first military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites in a 12-day war with the Islamic Republic three weeks ago. 5 A satellite image of the Fordow Facility in Iran after the US bombardment on June 27, 2025.

'Happy Independence Day!' she added. D'Errico is no stranger to sharing racy photos – she shares several with her Instagram followers, and is now a top model on OnlyFans. But in December 2023, she told Fox News Digital that these kind of scantily clad photos aren't what her followers request the most. Advertisement 'You know, in the beginning, I got a lot of, or some requests, for feet,' she shared of starting her OnlyFans account. 'I don't really get that anymore. Now, they mostly want to see me, like in everyday life, just the real me and everyday life.' The former Playboy Playmate added, 'Maybe wearing a T-shirt, making coffee or, you know, just that kind of thing. That's the biggest request.' D'Errico said she receives requests from followers asking her to 'take a picture of you right now. I want to see what you look like right now.' Advertisement 'I'm like, 'Well, I don't have any makeup on and my hair is in a ponytail, and I'm kind of in sweats,'' she said. ''I don't care. I want to see that.' So, they like that because I think it gives them kind of what I call 'the girlfriend experience.' It may be.' 4 D'Errico flaunted her red and white striped bikini bottoms in a photo she posted on July 4, 2022. 4 Donna D'Errico attends hte Last Chance For Animals Gala at The Beverly Hilton on Oct. 14, 2023.

They get to log in and have fun kind of having an experience that they would have if they had a girlfriend. But then they log off, and then they're gone. There's nobody to check in with.' Advertisement In May, however, her fans were excited to see a particular swimsuit photo – one of her in her iconic red 'Baywatch' one-piece.
