The event kicked off around 11 p.m., with a red carpet rolled out in front of the venue, flanked by excited fans and photographers, including our own Michele Eve Sandberg, who was covering the festivities for <em>New Times<\/em>. Luxury black SUVs and stretch limos pulled up steadily as artists arrived in clusters, while Daddy Yankee\u2019s classics pumped from the speakers outside.<\/p>\n<p>Bad Bunny arrived in signature laid-back yet stylish fashion, sporting a brown plaid suit, a baseball cap, dark glasses, and what appeared to be noise-canceling headphones. A strategic move to tune out Miami\u2019s loud streets and high-decibel fan energy. His presence anchored the evening, and he was one of the last to leave, exiting just after 2 a.m.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?w=683\" alt=\"Daddy Yankee attends Billboard Latin Music Awards after party at GEKKO on Oct. 23, 2025 in Miami, Florida.\" class=\"wp-image-40497444\" style=\"width:1119px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?resize=453,680 453w, https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?resize=330,495 330w, https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg?resize=550,825 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Daddy Yankee stuck around long enough to sign a few autographs<\/p>\n<div class=\"vmg-image-credit\">\n<p>Photo by Michele Eve Sandberg<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Other stars rolled through as well.
