Notes
  • Nicky Jam for some unknown reason did not have any appearance nor give his concert, even though it was scheduled, announced, appeared as one of the main characters on the poster and was one of the guest stars.[4]
  • Anuel AA, the other guest star, initially refused to perform, and after an hour's delay, he performed with major vocal, technical, and stage issues (which, although prepared and present for the show, were not used), all of which were evident primarily in the song "Más rica que ayer." He also cut his concert short and left halfway through the performance amid boos and harsh criticism from the audience.[4][5]
