It’s a big week for Bad Bunny: He’s headlining for the Super Bowl halftime show, he’s hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, and he’s on the cover of Billboard. In a new interview conducted by Puerto Rican rapper Residente for the magazine, Bad Bunny reflected on his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency, and even revealed what guest artists he wishes had joined him at the famed “Casita.”
Every night of the 31-show residency, Bad Bunny transformed a VIP area into a little house, reminiscent of the farm homes on his native island, and welcomed celebrities from across the gamut — Kylian Mbappé, Ricky Martin, LeBron James, Becky G, Tokischa — to party from the little hub. (One of his favorite nights was when boxer Tito Trinidad stopped by with his whole family.)

“Who would I have loved to have there? Tego Calderón, without a doubt,” Bad Bunny told Residente. “Not even performing — just being there, soaking in the vibe. And maybe Drake. That would’ve been crazy.”
He added, “Honestly, I wasn’t always aware of who was going to show up at the house. Sometimes I’d walk in and be surprised. But I loved how everyone forgot this was a show and just enjoyed the moment.”
He also shared what he was going for with the Casita idea. “You know how VIP sections are sometimes awkward, with all the celebrity stuff? I wanted to flip that and make it fun, interactive, and cool. So the VIP became Stage B — the house from the album, Jacobo’s house, with a kitchen, a sofa, everything,” Bad Bunny explained. “It was like a party de marquesina. People could hang out, be part of the show, and I could share moments with them.”
During the interview, Bad Bunny also revealed that he’s planning a new album alongside Los Sobrinos, the salsa band that joined him onstage for the final part of the “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” show. “It’s supposed to be a surprise, but yeah. It’s pretty obvious it can’t end here,” he said of the secret project.
