Bad Bunny Defends Immigrants

“Nuevayol” Video Released on July 4th

Tribute to the Puerto Rican Diaspora

Bad Bunny delivered a powerful message this Friday in support of immigrant communities in the United States, according to USA Today.

In the video for his song “Nuevayol,” the Puerto Rican superstar criticizes President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and underscores the importance of unity among Latinos.

The video, released on July 4th to coincide with America’s Independence Day, carries a message of reconciliation and emphasizes the collective strength of immigrants.

In one scene, a group of young people listens to a radio broadcast featuring a mock speech in which a Trump-like voice apologizes for harsh deportation policies.

“I made a mistake. I want to apologize to immigrants in America—I mean, in the United States,” says the voice in the fictional broadcast.

“I know that America is the whole continent,” it adds.

The narrative moves forward to emphasize that the United States would be nothing without immigrants, highlighting Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, and Cubans as fundamental contributors.

In a nod to Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny’s video features the Statue of Liberty adorned with the Puerto Rican flag on her forehead—a symbol embraced by those who oppose the island’s annexation by the U.S.

A Message of Latino Unity in “Nuevayol”

This imagery underscores the ongoing political tension in Puerto Rico, where residents remain divided over statehood versus independence.

The video is also a vibrant portrayal of Puerto Rican culture, opening with Bad Bunny trudging through snow, humorously lamenting: “When the hell is this cold going to end?”

The video then transitions to a lively quinceañera celebration filled with food, music, dancing, and traditions like domino games, capturing the spirit of the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York—the so-called “Nuyoricans.”

“Nuevayol” stands out as one of the key tracks from Bad Bunny’s latest album Debí tirar más fotos, blending reggaetón, salsa, and plena rhythms.

Conclusion

The album has become a tribute to Puerto Rico and has achieved immediate worldwide success, further cementing Bad Bunny’s status as a cultural icon.

Beyond this release, Bad Bunny has announced a residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico titled No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, running from July 11 to September 14.
