Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor received over $4,000 in concert tickets from Rimas Entertainment, the record label that represents Bad Bunny, according to her 2025 financial disclosure.
The tickets, valued at $4,333, were a gift from Rimas Entertainment, according to Sotomayor’s disclosure. The record 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 stated. While the form does not indicate which artist performed a concert for Sotomayor, Bad Bunny’s 30-day residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which ran from July to September 2025, coincided with her visit.
Sotomayor also received $598 from the Coterie Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, according to the disclosure. The justice wrote that the theatre paid for Sotomayor’s return airfare following a performance during a musical adaptation of her children’s book, “Just Ask!” The theater hosted the musical from Jan. 29 to Feb. 23, 2025, according to a press release.
Rimas Entertainment is a Puerto Rican record label founded in 2014 by Noah Assad, who is Bad Bunny’s manager, according to Discogs.

Bad Bunny performed entirely in Spanish at the Super LX halftime show in February 2026. He appeared to scrub his Instagram account clean following the performance. Bad Bunny being named the halftime show performer divided fans. The performer declared “ICE out” during his acceptance speech at the 2026 Grammy’s.
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) announced an “All American Halftime Show” to rival Bad Bunny’s performance in October 2025 and featured performances from Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The TPUSA halftime show drew in up to 6.1 million concurrent viewers via its YouTube channel, the New York Times reported.

Fellow Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Neil Gorsuch also released their 2025 financial disclosures, reporting respective royalties they earned from publishing memoirs and children’s books. Barrett earned almost $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, their respective disclosures show. Brown Jackson earned nearly $1.2 million in book advance from Penguin Random House, according to her disclosure.
The release of the justices’ disclosures preceded decisions on multiple high-profile cases, including birthright citizenship.
In a series of Tuesday opinions, the court upheld birthright citizenship, upheld state laws barring transgender people from playing on girls’ and women’s sports teams at public schools, and struck down political party-coordinated spending limits on federal elections.
