J Balvin and Residente resolved a feud sparked by Grammy boycott and diss tracks after weeks of private talks, with their Instagram post receiving over 180,000 likes in 30 minutes.
- Via a joint Instagram post on Wednesday, J Balvin and Residente announced reconciliation after years of conflict, sharing a photo and message indicating they had 'buried the hatchet.'
- After Balvin's late-2021 tweet, the dispute intensified when Residente escalated it with the three-chapter BZRP Music Sessions #49/66 diss in March 2022.

- This could open the door to new collaborations in 2026, as J Balvin, Colombian singer, and Residente, Puerto Rican rapper, took weeks of private talks like Balvin's earlier reconciliation with Bad Bunny.
