At September 19, 2015, he performed at Madison Square Garden, becoming is first show as headliner there since 2007 during the Big Boss Tour. During this concert, his long-time rival Don Omar made a cameo and performed a couple songs. In one part, both made a sort of beef, improvising a cappella, facing for the first time on stage to promote the upcoming tour, the Kingdom Tour, causing a euphoria in the fans and later in the social networks and news around the world. Also, part of the concert (especially during the song "Machucando") was broadcast live in the last show of Sabado Gigante.
