There is major talk online about Bad Bunny – aka Spotify's top artist with over 18.5 billion streams last year – imminently going on tour.
The rumour mill ramped up after the award-winning Puerto Rican rapper and singer released a new album over the weekend.
Titled Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, which translates as No One Knows What Is Going To Happen Tomorrow, the record is Bad Bunny’s fifth solo studio album. It comes just a year after his smash-hit record, Un Verano Sin Ti, which went to number one in the US album charts.
“I love those who love me a lot... I love those who hate me more,” said Bad Bunny on Instagram on Friday, announcing his new music. “No One Knows What Is Going To Happen Tomorrow. Don't listen to it, enjoy it, this is for you.”
For fans of the Bad Bunny, Nadie Sabe…'s arrival can only mean one thing: a tour must be on the horizon.
“Bad Bunny’s album is releasing soon which means he’s going on tour which means i have to start saving money to get good seats,” said one fan on X.
“No one invite me to go out anymore, have to save up for bad bunny’s tour,” echoed another.

These worries are not completely unfounded: Bad Bunny has toured each of his previous four albums within a couple of years of their release. He went on tour with his last album, Un Verano Sin Ti, just three months after it was shared with the public.
So while there has been no official announcement of an upcoming tour, it’s reasonable for Bad Bunny fans to start to get excited about the possibility of seeing the artist on stage in the not-so-distant future – particularly if they live in the Americas.
The new album is made up of 22 tracks and features a host of major names in the Latin trap, reggaetón and hip hop world, including Arcángel, Bryant Myers, De la Ghetto and Eladio Carrión.
“He’s become the first to top the US charts with an album sung entirely in Spanish, the first Latin artist to headline the huge Coachella festival, and the first to earn a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year with a Spanish language collection,” said the Standard in its four-star review. “There’s no doubt this will be a gargantuan smash.”
The third song on the album, Fina, has particularly been causing a lot of buzz this weekend, with some fans believing the lyrics have been written about Kendall Jenner.
“That I'm a horn-dog, but you outdo me,” sings Bad Bunny in Spanish on the record. “All heated up, doing it at your sister's house.”
