Latin Billboards 2025 Hosts, Goyo and Javier Poza, Say That Latino Artists Have to Be 'A Shield to Protect Bad Bunny' - EXCLUSIVE

At a pivotal moment in his career, as he becomes the first artist to sing in Spanish during the Super Bowl halftime show, Bad Bunny leads the nominations for the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards with 28 nominations and has confirmed his attendance at the event, which will be held on October 23 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami and broadcast live on Telemundo and Peacock.

Criticism against him hasn't stopped since the news broke, but his colleagues have no doubt about what needs to be done. "It's our moment, and he's at the forefront. We have to surround him with love, with presence, with unity. He doesn't represent himself. He's representing us all," said Colombian superstar Goyen in an exclusive interview with The Latin Times and ENSTARZ shortly after it was announced that she and Mexican presenter Javier Poza will host the most anticipated Spanish-language music show of the year.
