J BALVIN IGNITES THE 2025 VMAS WITH A BLAZING RETURN TO CENTER STAGE

THE GLOBAL ICON COMMANDS THE SPOTLIGHT

WITH ELECTRIC PERFORMANCES ALONGSIDE

DJ SNAKE, JUSTIN QUILES, AND LENNY TAVÁREZ

08 SEPTEMBER 2025 (TORONTO, ON) – Global superstar J Balvin delivered one of the most talked-about moments of the night at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, returning to the iconic stage with a genre-bending performance that lit up the UBS Arena and reaffirmed his place at the forefront of global music culture.

J Balvin’s highly anticipated set opened with the hypnotic synths of his new reggaeton banger “Zun Zun,” as he was joined by Latin heavyweights Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavárez. The trio moved through the track’s pulsing rhythm and sensual verses, backed by a stunning cast of dancers and bathed in vibrant neon visuals that transformed the VMAs into a glowing nightclub.

Just as the beat faded, the atmosphere erupted into “Noventa,” the latest global anthem from world-renowned artist DJ Snake and J Balvin. As DJ Snake stormed the stage, the energy skyrocketed, delivering a high-octane throwback to '90s club culture with breakdance circles, pyrotechnics, and J Balvin elevated atop a towering custom Timbs boot. It was a moment that merged nostalgia, innovation, and star power in true VMAs fashion. Watch the performance here.

J Balvin was also nominated in the “Best Latin” category for his chart-topping single “Rio,” adding another accolade to a landmark year.

This unforgettable VMA performance came just days after J Balvin’s appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for the premiere of Little Loraine, marking his groundbreaking acting debut alongside Stephen Amell and Sean Astin in a film directed by Andy Hines.

As J Balvin continues to push creative boundaries and deepen the global imprint of Latin music, he remains a cultural architect shaping the future through sound, vision, and connection. His latest acclaimed project, Mixteip, is available now on all streaming platforms. Listen here.
