In an interview with I-D <\/em>magazine<\/a> earlier this month, megastar Puerto Rican singer and rapper Bad Bunny said he chose not to do any concert dates in the 50 states during his current world tour, because he’s afraid that ICE, as he said, “could be outside my concert.” Instead, he did 30 shows<\/a> in Puerto Rico, which reportedly brought hundreds of millions of tourism dollars to the island.<\/p>\n

As a Puerto Rican, Bad Bunny is, of course, a U.S. citizen. Performers from other nations are facing additional issues \u2014 notably hurdles in securing visas.<\/p>\n
