Mexico asks Bad Bunny to give free concert after Ticketmaster debacle

President calls on Puerto Rican reggaeton star to perform after fans turned away from sold-out show on Friday

Mexico's president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has called on Bad Bunny to give a free concert in the capital's central Zocalo plaza after hundreds of fans were locked out of the Puerto Rican rapper's sold-out show last weekend thanks to a Ticketmaster debacle.

During his regular morning news conference, Lopez Obrador, or Amlo as he's commonly known, said Bad Bunny was a supportive" and sensitive" person, adding that, although the government couldn't pay the artist, it would fund limited production costs for the concert.
