Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was gifted over $4,000 in concert tickets from Rima Entertainment, which is the record label for massive pop superstar Bad Bunny, according to a 2025 financial disclosure. The tickets, valued at $43,333 were a gift from the label, according to the disclosure. The company provided the tickets “for a concert for me and guests while I was on a private trip to Puerto Rico in August 2025,” Sotomayor went on to say.
The form did not specifically mention which of the label’s artists performed for Sotomayor, however, Bad Bunny had a 30-day residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico that ran from July to September 2025, which just so happened to coincide with her visit to the area. Sotomayor also received $598 from the Coterie Theatre located in Kansas City, Missouri.
The justice explained that the theater paid for her return airfare after a performance of a musical adaptation of her children’s book, “Just Ask!” The theater put on the musical from January 29 to February 23, 2025. Rimas Entertainment is a record label based in Puerto Rico that was founded in 2014 by Noah Assad, Bad Bunny’s manager.
According to The Daily Caller, Bad Bunny performed completely in Spanish during the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. After the performance, the singer scrubbed his Instagram account. The announcement that Bad Bunny would be performing at the halftime show divided football fans due to his anti-ICE stance, which he put on full display during his 2026 Grammy acceptance speech, when he declared “ICE out.”
Not long after Bad Bunny was announced as the performer at the Super Bowl, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) announced they would be putting on a halftime show of their own called “All-American Halftime Show” to provide an alternative for folks who didn’t want to watch someone who clearly despises the American way of life, performing during the most-watched sporting event in America.
The show featured performances by artists such as Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The TPUSA halftime show pulled in 6.1 million concurrent viewers on its YouTube channel, according to data shared by the New York Times. Sotomayor’s colleagues on the bench, Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Neil Gorsuch also released their 2025 financial disclosures.
Barrett earned close to $850,000 in publication and copyright royalties from Javelin Group LLC, while Gorsuch earned over $300,000 in royalties from HarperCollins Publishers LLC and Princeton University Press, both of their disclosures show. Brown Jackson pulled in almost $1.2 million from a book advance from Penguin Random House, according to the information in her disclosure. The release of the disclosures coincides with rulings for several high-profile cases.
