"I apologized a long time ago. People don't know, but we had a conversation a few weeks ago," Bad Bunny said in Spanish. "But we were waiting for the perfect moment to share the stage, and it's good that it was here in Mexico."
Bad Bunny first sparked feud rumors in 2023 with the release of his fifth album, "Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana."

Then, in December, her performed more shows in Mexico City before kicking off the new year in Santiago, Chile, and then making a quit pit stop back in the states to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in February.
