The event kicked off around 11 p.m., with a red carpet rolled out in front of the venue, flanked by excited fans and photographers, including our own Michele Eve Sandberg, who was covering the festivities for New Times. Luxury black SUVs and stretch limos pulled up steadily as artists arrived in clusters, while Daddy Yankee\u2019s classics pumped from the speakers outside.<\/p>\n<p>Bad Bunny arrived in signature laid-back yet stylish fashion, sporting a brown plaid suit, a baseball cap, dark glasses, and what appeared to be noise-canceling headphones. A strategic move to tune out Miami\u2019s loud streets and high-decibel fan energy. His presence anchored the evening, and he was one of the last to leave, exiting just after 2 a.m.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Daddy-Yankee.jpg\" alt=\"Daddy Yankee attends Billboard Latin Music Awards after party at GEKKO on Oct. 23, 2025 in Miami, Florida.\" class=\"wp-image-40497444\" style=\"width:1119px;height:auto\"  \/>Daddy Yankee stuck around long enough to sign a few autographs<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Michele Eve Sandberg<\/p>\n<p>Other stars rolled through as well.

DJ Khaled also dropped by, amplifying the energy with his signature South Florida flair. Meanwhile, Daddy Yankee stuck around long enough to sign a few autographs for fans gathered outside.<\/p>\n<p>Though Karol G didn\u2019t attend the party, her name was still in the mix after winning six Billboard Latin Music Awards earlier that night. She likely skipped the Brickell bash to get her well-deserved beauty sleep after a whirlwind week of Latin Music Week appearances.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"719\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bad-Bunny-and-David-Grutman-e1761306565668.jpg\" alt=\"Bad Bunny and David Grutman  at the Billboard Latin Music Awards after party at Gekko. \" class=\"wp-image-40497445\"  \/>Bad Bunny and David Grutman at the Billboard Latin Music Awards after-party at Gekko. <\/p>\n<p>Photo by Michele Eve Sandberg<\/p>\n<p>Earlier that night at the James L. Knight Center, Bad Bunny struck a reflective tone during his acceptance speech: \u201cI consider myself a young man who continues to dream, with many goals and things to do.\u201d That same grounded, aspirational energy followed him into the afterparty at Gekko, where he moved through the room with quiet confidence.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DJ-Kahled.jpg\" alt=\"DJ Khaled at the Billboard Latin Music Awards after party at Gekko.\" class=\"wp-image-40497453\"  \/>DJ Khaled at the Billboard Latin Music Awards after-party at Gekko. <\/p>\n<p>Photo by Michele Eve Sandberg<\/p>\n<p>The timing of his win couldn\u2019t be more headline-worthy.
