In true Bad Bunny fashion, the artist delivered pride, power, and Puerto Rican excellence during the opening night on Friday (July 11), where he performed songs from his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, including 'Baile Inolvidable,' 'Nueva Yol,' 'Voy a Llevarte Pa' PR,' 'Turista,' and the heartfelt title track, 'DTMF.' He also performed some of his all-time hits, such as 'Si Estuviésemos Juntos,' 'Yo Perreo Sola,' 'Me Porto Bonito' and 'Callaíta.'
'I'm in Puerto Rico, I'm home, having fun and, to be honest, I don't want to leave,' he expressed in a video in January when he announced the residency. 'Thanks to music and the love you give me through my music, I've had the privilege of traveling to sing in different places of the world. I appreciate and love to do it. There are places I for sure will return […] and some I've never been to but would like to visit, like Brazil and Japan. And there are places I haven't been to in a long time, like Italy, London, Spain.'
But for now, the global Latin star is celebrating his sixth studio album — which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart — at home. He's also bringing his friends along.
Below, check out an updating list of the special guests at the No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency.
1. ChuwiOn the first three nights of 'No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,' Bad Bunny invited Chuwi (former Billboard On the Radar Latin artists) to perform their airy, beach-friendly 'WELTiTA.' 'Thanks to the entire Bad Bunny team, and to you, Benito, for inviting us and being so intentional about wanting to see us grow,' the group expressed in an Instagram post.
2. LeBron JamesTo everyone's surprise, LeBron James also joined Benito on stage during night one, where he was seen lounging with him in a recreation of a Puerto Rican casita. The basketball legend, who was accompanied by NBA star Draymond Green, was seen dancing to the dembow-heavy tracks 'Nueva Yol' and 'Tití Me Preguntó.'
3. Los Pleneros de la CrestaLos Pleneros de la Cresta (established in 2013 by Joseph Ocasio Rivera, Joshuan Ocasio Rivera, Jeyluix Ocasio Rivera and Josue Roman Figueroa), brought tradition and fiesta to the stage when they joined Bad Bunny for 'CAFé CON RON,' fusing plena with contemporary elements. 'What we're living is a true blessing,' the local group shared in their Instagram stories. 'We are very thankful for being a part of this.'
4. RaiNaoRaiNao joined Benito on the second night of the residency for a sensual performance of 'PERFuMITO NUEVO' — an electrifying blend of perreo and alternative pop with a side of intense flirtation.
5. JhaycoJhayco arrived as a surprise guest during the second night of 'No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí.' At the show, the two Puerto Rican urbano stars crooned the crowd with their timeless collaborations including 'No Me Conoce,' 'Tarot,' and 'Cómo Se Siente.'
6. ToñitaDuring Bunny's residency, Medalla Light recreated Toñita's Caribbean Social Club — and yes, Toñita (real name: María Antonia Cay) was spotted in the crowd. Known as one of the last surviving Puerto Rican social clubs in Brooklyn, New York, the club — embraced by many Boricua stars such as Benito, Rauw Alejandro, and Nicky Jam — is celebrating its 51st anniversary this year.
7. Jowell y RandyFresh off of giving a monumental concert of their own in Venezuela, Jowell y Randy headed straight to El Choli to join Bad Bunny on night three of his residency. The venue went crazy when they performed their ultra-perreo smash hit 'Safaera,' part of Bunny's 2020 YHLQMDLG album.
8. Pedro CapóThough he does not have a collaboration with Bad Bunny, Pedro Capó made a special appearance during the residency's third night. 'I got the call the night before last while I was preparing my kids' birthday celebration, and from one moment to the next, it became part of our celebration,' he wrote on his Instagram. 'We boarded a plane to remember the importance of preserving our culture and identity. As a family… in Puerto Rico. One of the most beautiful moments I've ever experienced.'
9. Ricky MartinRicky Martin was a special guest at Bad Bunny's residency, where he and his twin sons Matteo and Valentino joined the fun in the 'casita.' On videos that have circulated social media, the Puerto Rican artist is seen hanging out with colleagues and dancing to 'Tití Me Preguntó.'
10. ÑejoÑejo was also invited as a guest to Bad Bunny's 'casita,' where he tagged along with his father and son. His son even documented their entire time at El Choli, from hanging out backstage with Eladio Carrión before the show to having drinks with Ricky Martin inside la casita. Watch the vlog here.
11. AlofokeOn the heels of celebrating the alliance between Alofoke Music and Sony Music CAC in Miami, Alofoke (real name: Santiago Matias) flew to Puerto Rico to join Bad Bunny during his residency. The Dominican radio host and social media personality shared all the backstage and concert moments on his official Instagram account.
12. Eladio CarriónMeanwhile, Eladio Carrión joined Bad Bunny on stage for a live performance of their collaborations 'Thunder y Lightning' and 'Kemba Walker.'
'You're not listening to just anyone. It's a pride to see you inspiring and representing how you do. Congratulations to the whole team!!,' Carrión expressed on Instagram with a carrousel of photos.
13. MbappéWhile a wave of music stars formed part of Bad Bunny's residency, so did a handful of athletes. Just like LeBron James, who was part of the 'casita' party, French soccer star Kylian Mbappé also joined the celebration. On many videos on social media, he's seen enjoying the concert alongside Achraf Hakimi, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain.
14. Ednita NazarioThe sixth show of Bad Bunny's 'No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí' residency included a powerful performance by Ednita Nazario, who sang Bad Bunny's 'Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.' Pedro Capó was invited to do the same during one of the nights on the opening weekend.
15. WisinWisin did not stay behind either. The iconic artist of Wisin y Yandel fame joined Bad Bunny on stage to perform his old-school reggaetón bangers 'Sácala' and 'Saoco.' Watch part of their performance below.

‘I've failed you': S.F. chef apologizes after viral clash with influencer
The San Francisco chef at the center of a viral social media controversy issued a public apology Sunday for a recent incident involving a TikTok influencer. Meanwhile, the restaurant in the dustup, Kis Cafe in Hayes Valley, announced its last night of service was Saturday and that it is now permanently closed, according to its Instagram account. Luke Sung was ousted as chef and co-owner of Kis Cafe last week after he drew widespread online condemnation for his treatment of a food influencer identified as @ItsKarlaBB. The incident is the latest to highlight the fraught relationship between restaurants and influencers, who can help promote them — or, in this case, close them. 'Hi everyone — I am Luke Sung,' began the apology posted to Kis Cafe's Instagram page. 'It was important for me to first apologize to Karla privately and step away from Kis Cafe before publicly apologizing.' Sung acknowledged being 'condescending, hurtful, and intimidating' to the influencer during her visit for a planned promotional dinner. @itskarlabb its a long video and not something i would normally upload but i feel like i had to talk about this experience. i basically ran out of there but i wish i would've stood up for myself. if you are a micro influencer i know it's easy to feel discouraged at times but don't let anyone make you feel small or unimportant!! ♬ original sound - itskarlabb Her emotional account of the encounter — shared Wednesday in a TikTok video that has since amassed over 20 million views — accused Sung of belittling her content and follower count, which stood at 15,000 at the time. That number has since surged past 350,000. According to the influencer, after briefly glancing through her TikTok profile, the chef dismissed her work. 'After scrolling, like, two times, he says to me that he doesn't think my videos are at the level at which he wants his restaurant represented,' she said in her video. He then criticized her audience, she said. 'He goes on to say that my audience and my followers are not the kind of people that are going to be at his restaurant,' she said. 'It seemed like he was insinuating that my followers would not be able to afford to eat at this restaurant.' The encounter escalated further when Sung asked if she knew who he was. She said she didn't. 'He says he's a James Beard Award recipient or finalist or something, and I'm like 'great, like, I don't know what to say to that,'' she said. Sung reportedly followed by citing his daughter's online presence, telling the influencer that she wasn't on the same level as his daughter, Isabelle 'Isa' Sung, who he said had 600,000 TikTok followers. 'I told him I felt disrespected and didn't want to collaborate anymore,' she said in her video. In his apology, Luke Sung stated, 'There are no excuses to be made. I've decided it's time for me to step away from Kis Cafe permanently and in all capacities.' The fallout has been swift. Kis Cafe, which opened in May, initially apologized on Thursday and confirmed Sung was no longer affiliated in 'any way.' 'I also want to be clear the responsibility of this whole situation is mine alone and my behavior should not be a reflection on anyone else who works there, or anyone who is related to me,' Sung wrote. 'I truly care about my staff and am devastated that my actions have impacted both them and their families.' Yelp and Google reviews of both Kis Cafe and Sung's former restaurant Isa, in the Marina District, have been inundated with one-star ratings. Sung also addressed his staff and family, notably his daughter. 'I am sorry I put you in this position,' he wrote. 'I've failed you in the worst way.'

‘I Charge Them More Every Single Time:' Tech Reveals 1 Quality Guaranteed to Make Your Mechanic Hate You
A mechanic who goes by Claw Boss (@reelclawboss) on Instagram shared a customer pet peeve: Asking non-stop questions while he works. And it seems like there are more than a few other folks in the craft who share his mindset. The auto tech's short clip is set to the tune of a song that repeatedly implores a person to 'shut the [expletive] up,' as part of its hook. Pairing this tune with the text overlay in their clip, along with a group of dancing chickens, intones that the service tech isn't a fan of this particular client interaction. 'We all have that one customer. Stands in the shop while you're working on their car and won't stop asking questions,' he captions Commenters Were Divided Folks had differing opinions on the clients they render service to in their respective auto businesses. One person remarked that a patron has the right to ask questions since they're the one paying for their car to be fixed. 'Customer's car, customer's paying,' one said. However, there was another Instagram user who seemed to concur with Claw Boss's commentary on the chatty individuals who roll into his shop. They said, 'Best part of our shop: Only staff allowed in shop.' Another person, who said that they were an auto tech themselves, echoed the aforementioned sentiment. According to them, they've never been employed in an automotive service center that allowed customers to watch the work techs were doing. 'Never in my life have I seen a shop allow customers in the shop,' they penned. 'I be on the other side of the glass like *hey, did you make sure to torq that bolt!? While I smoke my dart and continue to stare. Lol all jokes aside I do enjoy watching and learning.' But this didn't appear to be par the course for all folks getting their cars fixed. One person who got their vehicle's air conditioning system repaired expressed that they were grateful to watch their mechanic fix the issue. Moreover, they said the tech was forthcoming about the work he was completing. 'My mechanic let me watch him do my AC for my truck. I asked a few questions and he didn't mind. He seemed to like that I was trying to learn,' they said. Other Mechanics Sound Off It seems like Claw Boss wasn't the only service tech who took to social media to decry this specific customer behavior. YouTuber Barricade Garage also professed he wasn't too fond of someone looking over his shoulder while he was working on a car. In a caption for his video that touches on this same topic, he writes, 'most mechanics usually want to be left unbothered when working on your vehicle.' Additionally, Redditors in this r/MechanicAdvice post also discussed this same client phenomenon. The thread's original poster wanted to know if it was considered poor manners on his part to watch the tech replace the tires on his vehicle. One person remarked that the practice is 'a touchy subject with a lot of shops,' due to how different customers react to the work being performed on their vehicle. They said that customers might try to nickel-and-dime labor time, not considering that a mechanic who has accrued decades of experiencing fixing problems is able to rectify a problem more quickly than a less experienced tech. Thus, their complaints about inaccurate labor times are invalidated. To drive this point home, they shared an anecdote about a client who went 'ballistic' for being billed for 30 minutes of labor on a muffler replacement. They said the tech swapped out the component in around five minutes and asked why they were charged for 30 minutes of labor instead. Following this, the Reddit user explained to the customer, 'The guy who just put your muffler on has almost 30 years' exhaust experience. And has it down to an art. If I'd known you wanted to wait longer I would have done it myself - I'm a diagnostic tech and really bad at exhaust. It takes me forever,' they wrote. Some Mechanics Don't Mind Watchful Customers Another commenter in the same Reddit thread said it all boils down to the type of person who is watching them perform their work. This user said, 'I don't mind people watching because they are curious.' Although, when they begin to chime in with their own repair strategies, or when they reference other handy people they know, that's when they begin to take issue with sideline commentary. 'Don't call me a liar, and don't bring it to me to fix it if you trust [someone else] so much,' they penned. In this Quora post, some auto techs argued that barring customers from entering the shop area boils down to potential safety concerns. They said that due to heavy machinery, car lifts, and an array of moving parts, clients could be at risk of bodily harm. In order to mitigate these possible incidents from occurring and any legal actions that could be levied against the shop, many service centers will bar folks from watching their cars being worked on.
