During a concert in London, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny paused his performance to send a message of solidarity to the people of Venezuela. He dedicated his words to those facing hardship after recent earthquakes and to the Venezuelan community abroad.

Bad Bunny spoke about the experience of emigration, noting that one always carries a piece of their homeland. He emphasized that regardless of how long someone lives elsewhere, their native land remains their home. The artist observed that while he sees many Latin American flags at his concerts worldwide, the Venezuelan flag is particularly prominent.

We are many Latinos around the world. Everywhere I go, I see many flags, and that fills me with pride. But there is always one I see very often, and that is Venezuela's.

"We are many Latinos around the world. Everywhere I go, I see many flags, and that fills me with pride. But there is always one I see very often, and that is Venezuela's," he stated. He recognized the efforts and sacrifices many Venezuelans have made to leave their country.

Today, more than ever, to our brothers and sisters of Venezuela, all Latinos around the world are in tune and solidarity with you. We send you a big hug and much strength. You are a brave country, and I know you will overcome this.

"Today, more than ever, to our brothers and sisters of Venezuela, all Latinos around the world are in tune and solidarity with you. We send you a big hug and much strength. You are a brave country, and I know you will overcome this," Bad Bunny expressed. He concluded by saying, "From a tourist in London, with my soul in Puerto Rico and my heart with you in Venezuela today."

The message comes after Venezuela experienced significant earthquakes on June 24, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries. The state of La Guaira was particularly affected, with buildings collapsing and trapping families. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, but time is critical.

From a tourist in London, with my soul in Puerto Rico and my heart with you in Venezuela today.
