Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was gifted more than $4,000 in concert tickets last summer from superstar rapper Bad Bunny’s record label, according to her annual financial disclosure released Monday.
The tickets, valued at $4,333, were provided to Sotomayor by Rimas Entertainment “for a concert for me and guests while I was on a private trip to Puerto Rico in August 2025,” the justice noted on her disclosure.
Rimas Entertainment, founded in Puerto Rico by Bad Bunny’s longtime manager Noah Assad, represents several leading Latin music artists.
It’s unclear if the concert tickets were for a Bad Bunny show or another of Rimas Entertainment’s acts.
The Puerto Rican superstar, however, performed on the island throughout August 2025 as part of an extended run of shows. Sotomayor was born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents.
Rimas Entertainment and a Supreme Court spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
In February, Bad Bunny’s controversial Super Bowl LX halftime show performance triggered a wave of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) complaints from outraged viewers, who blasted the performance as “pornographic,” “vulgar,” and inappropriate for children.
Ahead of the game, Bad Bunny’s selection as the halftime entertainment sparked criticism due to his lyrics and lack of English songs.
Turning Point USA produced an alternate “All-American Halftime Show” in response to the Bad Bunny backlash, but the Grammy-Award winning rapper’s performance still drew 128.2 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched halftime shows in Super Bowl history.
Sotomayor is not the first on the high court to be gifted concert tickets.
In 2024, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson disclosed receiving nearly $4,000 in concert tickets from Grammy Award-winning singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
The latest filings were made by eight of the Supreme Court’s nine justices.
Justice Samuel Alito did not file his disclosure Monday and received an extension.
The required disclosures list outside income, gifts received and investments made by the jurists.
Brown Jackson reported the most in outside income last year, raking in nearly $1.2 million in book advances.
Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch also reported some $850,000 and $300,000 in book royalties, respectively.
