Executive summary

Noah Assad is CEO of Rimas Entertainment, the Puerto Rico-founded label, management and sports-representation company he leads, and has been Bad Bunny's manager for nearly a decade [1](https://variety.com/2025/music/news/bad-bunny-residency-puerto-rico-manager-noah-assad-1236434205/). Rimas's roster also includes Karol G, Eladio Carrión, Mora and Arcángel.

Assad oversaw Bad Bunny's 2025 'No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí' residency at Puerto Rico's Coliseo de Puerto Rico, a 30-plus date run that sold over 400,000 tickets, including a nine-day residency window restricted to island residents, and which Variety projected would generate roughly $200 million for Puerto Rico's economy [2](https://variety.com/2025/music/news/bad-bunny-residency-puerto-rico-manager-noah-assad-1236434205/). Pollstar's 2026 Impact 50 recognition credits Assad with the residency's $47.5 million gross across 31 shows and the subsequent 2026 stadium run that grossed $225.2 million from 27 concerts and drew more than 1.49 million tickets sold globally [3](https://news.pollstar.com/2026/06/22/2026-impact-50-honoree-noah-assad/).

Rimas has also expanded into sports representation through Rimas Sports and into wider Latin music through a stake in Argentina's Dale Play Records, broadening the company's operations beyond a single artist's touring calendar [4](https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/bad-bunny-label-rimas-entertainment-acquires-significant-stake-in-dale-play-records/).

Why Noah Assad matters in live music

As the executive who has managed Bad Bunny from an independent artist posting music on YouTube to a Super Bowl halftime headliner and record-breaking touring artist, Assad's business decisions — including choosing an arena tour over a stadium run in 2024, then a residency over a global stadium tour in 2025 — have repeatedly reset expectations for how a global Latin superstar's live calendar can be structured.

Rimas Entertainment's growth into sports representation and equity stakes in other Latin labels also makes Assad's company a broader industry consolidator, not solely Bad Bunny's management vehicle.
