The year 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most turbulent of Anuel AA’s career. Although he remains one of the most influential figures in Latin trap, his recent appearances in Spain have set off alarm bells everywhere.

What was supposed to be a highly anticipated return to European stages has instead turned into a string of delays, cancellations, and abruptly interrupted concerts that have sparked frustration, confusion, and—above all—concern for the artist’s personal well-being.

A Tour Marked by Chaos From Day One

The Puerto Rican rapper’s European tour, which included eight stops in cities like Valencia, A Coruña, Madrid, and Barcelona, began to unravel even before it truly started. The first warning sign came in Valencia, where the show scheduled for November 14 was postponed just hours before it began due to “health reasons.” Only two days later, things escalated when the concert in A Coruña was cancelled altogether, again citing the artist’s illness.

Although some concerts—such as those in Málaga and Murcia—did take place, they were far from problem-free. In Madrid, Anuel took the stage more than an hour late, and to the surprise of many, the show ended abruptly when the venue cut the sound after the permitted time had been exceeded. Barcelona unfolded in a similar fashion: the lights were turned on early and the microphone was cut while Anuel was still attempting to address the crowd.

The pattern repeated itself enough times to make it clear that these were not isolated incidents. Between bewildered fans and organizers scrambling to control the backlash, the situation triggered a wave of indignation that dominated social media for days.

Silence That Fuels Speculation

So far, neither Anuel nor his team has offered a concrete explanation for what is happening. Aside from statements from event promoters citing health issues to justify the cancellations, there has been no official comment providing clarity or reassurance.

This lack of transparency has fueled widespread speculation online, where theories range from possible physical exhaustion to more alarming concerns tied to his previous medical scares. However, none of these claims have been confirmed, and many stem more from rumors than verified information.

What is certain is that this is not the first time Anuel’s health has disrupted his professional schedule. Back in 2024, he had to cancel a concert in Uruguay after experiencing symptoms related to his heart, which required medical observation. Early in 2025, rumors of a hospital stay also circulated—rumors he forcefully denied on social media. Even so, these past incidents heighten the current unease.

Erratic Moves With Potential Consequences

The series of incidents across Spain is leaving a clear mark on the public perception of the artist. Even though venues were full and the demand to see him live remains high, the fan experience has been significantly affected. Repeated lateness, shortened concerts, and an overall sense of disorganization have eroded trust among many followers, who haven’t hesitated to voice their disappointment.

This poses a serious challenge for an artist whose emotional connection with his audience is a key element of his brand.

An Uncertain Future and the Need for Answers

At this point, the situation surrounding Anuel AA is shrouded in uncertainty. While the European tour leaves behind a trail of controversy, the artist remains silent and his representatives avoid offering further detail. This informational vacuum, far from putting fans at ease, has only intensified the concern of those who have supported him from the beginning.

What is clear is that the public is waiting for answers—not necessarily a medical report, but at least a gesture of honesty that restores some trust and helps explain what is happening behind the scenes of an artist known for being transparent, impulsive, and emotionally raw.

Until that happens, the question will continue to echo: What’s going on with Anuel?
