THE RUNDOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n Bad Bunny missed the 2025 MTV VMAs, despite being nominated for four awards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n He is currently hosting his ongoing residency in Puerto Rico, and has a show the night of the VMAs ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n He last appeared<\/a> on the VMAs stage in 2022, when he performed live from Yankee Stadium and won<\/a> Artist of the Year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Bad Bunny was missed at the 2025 MTV VMAs tonight. The artist, who is nominated<\/a> for four awards this year, skipped the ceremony due to a coinciding show<\/a> for his residency in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n The superstar released his sixth solo album, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/a><\/em>, earlier this year, which he described as his \u201cmost Puerto Rican album ever.\u201d In a January 2025 interview with The New York Times<\/a>, <\/em>he explained the title, which translates to \u201cI Should Have Taken More Photos.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cToday you can take a picture of everything,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe sometimes I don\u2019t want a picture with someone for many reasons: Maybe I\u2019m not in my best mood. Sometimes I feel that maybe this person is not a real fan. And also because maybe I got used to it and it\u2019s not a special moment for me…So that\u2019s the meaning of the title\u2014you should appreciate more the moments and the people. It\u2019s not an apology, it\u2019s more like a reminder to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n The project, recorded entirely in Puerto Rico, blends urbano, reggaeton, and Latin trap with traditional sounds like plena and bomba. Speaking about why he chose to ground the album at home, he told The New York Times<\/em>, \u201cWhen you are far, sometimes you can see better, you can appreciate more.\u201d<\/p>\n Bunny emphasized his commitment to keeping Puerto Rican culture central to his work, even while reaching global audiences: \u201cI always knew that I could be big and successful being Puerto Rican, with my music and with my slang and with my culture, my everything. So I was working to reach the most places, but at the same time keeping my essence, my roots.\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond music, Bunny has expanded his foray into Hollywood, filming movies like Happy Gilmore 2<\/a><\/em> with Adam Sandler and Darren Aronofsky\u2019s Caught Stealing<\/a><\/em> this year. But at the heart of his current chapter is his return to Puerto Rico and using his platform to amplify younger musicians from the island. \u201cAll the salsa songs are made by young kids from escuela Libre de M\u00fasica,\u201d he told The New York Times<\/em>. \u201cBecause people think, oh, now every young kid today is making reggaeton. No, there\u2019s a lot of great, great musicians\u2014young kids\u2014that are only waiting for the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n You Might Also Like<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.” THE RUNDOWN Bad Bunny missed the 2025 MTV VMAs, despite being nominated for four awards.
