      US citizen and (theoretically) wouldn’t need to fear being deported

      I’ve literally seen border control agents in the airport not know that PR means US Citizen right in front of me. And ICE actively boasts about deporting people to random countries completely unrelated to the person being deported. Reality isn’t going to stop them.

      He probably also has band and crew members from countries other than PR as well, so he has to worry about them, too. Also, it can’t be easy to coordinate visas for all those people right now. I’ll bet the resistance for a tour like that would be high.

      And you are right about being fraudulently detained. He may be a US citizen, but they’ll still hate him for being brown. The Puerto Rican Loophole surely pisses them off. It would be just like the MAGA Nazis to fraudulently detain, and even deport, key personnel, just to fuck up the tour, and cost him millions.
