Bad Bunny released the music video for his latest single, “NUEVAYoL,” on July 4th. The video features a voice that bears a striking resemblance to President Donald Trump, who makes an unexpected apology to immigrants in America. Directed by Renell Medrano, the retro-themed video showcases Bad Bunny at a quinceañera and includes political messages such as scenes of the artist saluting from the Statue of Liberty adorned with a Puerto Rican flag. The video concludes with images of the Puerto Rican community in New York, delivering a message of unity: “juntos somos mas fuertes” (together we are stronger). This release follows a week of heightened anti-immigration policies by the administration, including Trump’s visit to the newly opened I.C.E. detention facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Bad Bunny has been using his platform to convey powerful political messages, evident in his latest album “Debà Tirar Más Fotos” and beyond.
The video clip, originally featured before Bad Bunny’s 2021 concerts in Puerto Rico but never publicly released, showcased the island’s revered athletes and groundbreaking music scene, celebrating it as a symbol of resilience and passion. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone in January 2025, Bad Bunny discussed his choice to be more vocal about his political views despite potential backlash. “People expect artists to reach a certain level of success and then remain silent on these issues, or if they do speak out, to do so cautiously,” he stated. “I will speak my mind, and those who disagree are free to ignore me.” For the full article, visit People’s website.
