Bad Bunny's Record Label Gifted Over $4,000 in Concert Tickets To Justice Sotomayor

Published | Updated

Bad Bunny's record label passed out freebies to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor for a concert in Puerto Rico -- worth over $4,000, according to official documents.

TMZ obtained Sotomayor's annual financial disclosure, showing that the justice was given $4,333 worth of tickets by Rimas Entertainment for herself and guests while they were on a private trip to Puerto Rico in August 2025. Bunny's manager, Noah Assad, founded Rimas, which also represents a bunch of other Latin music artists. 

It's not clear from the disclosure whether Sotomayor and Co. attended a Bunny concert or a show for another Rimas musician. Yet, during August 2025, Bunny hit the stage in Puerto Rico for a slew of performances.

Under federal regulations, Supreme Court Justices are allowed to accept most gifts as long as they come from people with no business before the court. The justices must also report the gifts in annual financial disclosures, which Sotomayor has done in this case.
