Bad Bunny set the stage ablaze during the 50th season finale of Saturday Night Live on May 17, 2025, delivering a performance that fans are calling his most provocative yet. The Puerto Rican superstar teamed up with fellow Boricua artist RaiNao to perform their sultry duet “PERFuMITO NUEVO,” transforming Studio 8H into a steamy, neon-lit nightclub bathroom scene.

A Sensual Showstopper

The performance of “PERFuMITO NUEVO” was a masterclass in chemistry and atmosphere. With dim lighting, fog effects, and a set designed to resemble a club’s restroom, Bad Bunny and RaiNao delivered a visually arresting and emotionally charged rendition of the reggaeton track. Their onstage interaction was electric, drawing the audience into the intimate world of the song.

“PERFuMITO NUEVO,” featured on Bad Bunny’s latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, explores themes of seduction and desire, encapsulated in the metaphor of a new perfume representing the allure of a fresh connection.

A Night of Highlights

In addition to the standout duet, Bad Bunny also performed “NUEVAYoL,” paying homage to New York City with a stage setup inspired by the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” photograph. He further showcased his versatility by participating in several comedic sketches, including portraying an air traffic controller and playing Scarlett Johansson’s Spanish-speaking boyfriend.

This appearance marked Bad Bunny’s third time on SNL, solidifying his status as a multifaceted entertainer capable of blending music, comedy, and cultural commentary.

Theories Surrounding Bad Bunny’s U.S. Tour Absence

Despite the global success of his latest album ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos,’ Bad Bunny has not announced any U.S. dates for his upcoming world tour. The «Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour,» set to begin in November 2025, includes stops in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Italy, Spain, and the UK, but notably omits the United States from its itinerary.

This absence has sparked various theories among fans and industry insiders. Some speculate that the exclusion may be due to the current political climate and restrictive immigration policies in the U.S., which have complicated logistics for international artists. Additionally, Bad Bunny’s recent focus on Puerto Rican pride and anti-colonial themes in his music suggests a possible desire to prioritize performances in countries that align more closely with these themes.
