The 31-year-old artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was performing as part of his 30-date residency “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico when the mishap occurred.
During an energetic set, the singer landed awkwardly while moving across the stage, visibly limping as fans reacted in concern. Videos of the incident quickly circulated on TikTok, showing the “Monaco” hitmaker clutching his knee.

Audience members expressed mixed emotions online, with some urging him to prioritise his health and others making light of the moment with playful comments.
Despite the injury, fans highlighted the significance of his residency, which has drawn international visitors and boosted local tourism. According to Forbes, the series of shows is expected to contribute around $200 million in revenue to Puerto Rico’s economy through hospitality and travel spending.
Before the performance, Bad Bunny shared his excitement about returning home, saying on Instagram, “I’m in Puerto Rico, I’m home, having fun and, to be honest, I don’t want to leave.” His residency, which began in July, includes fan favourites like “Yo Perreo Sola” and “Callaíta” alongside new tracks from his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
