No, Bad Bunny Isn’t Starting a Soccer Team in Puerto Rico

Despite what you may have heard, Bad Bunny, fresh off another No. 1 album, is not starting a United Soccer League team.

In recent weeks, reports and mere rumors have circulated positing that Bad Bunny was involved in a serious capacity with efforts to bring a pro team back to Puerto Rico. One such report, for example, claimed that the three-time Grammy winner was putting millions of dollars into the project. Additionally, it’s been alleged that the Rimas Entertainment label, as well as former Cardinals catcher and current Águilas Cibaeñas manager Yadier Molina, are also involved as investors.

But this is false, per Melvin Román, the agent for MLB players who was earlier this month reported to be in talks to potentially launch a USL League One team. Headquarters for the possible team, according to a report from Primera Hora, would be the Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium in Bayamón.

“This is something that got into my head and it is a very personal project of mine that I have been working on for a while now, but the information that is circulating is not true,” Román told the publication this month. “That it is Yadier Molina, Bad Bunny, Rimas, or USL Championship… All those things are not true. They are not even close.”

A source close to Bad Bunny and Rimas Entertainment confirmed to Complex that the DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS artist is not involved.

Something Bad Bunny is confirmed to be doing in the near future is performing at his sold-out Puerto Rico concert residency. The 30-show stint starts in July, with Bunny previously teasing that he’ll also be hitting the road elsewhere around the world soon enough. For now, however, his focus is on his fans at home.
