Bad Bunny fought back against those who criticized him for being chosen to headline the Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show.
“You may not know this, but I’m doing a Super Bowl halftime show and I’m so happy and I think everyone is happy about it,” he said in a “Saturday Night Live” monologue.
“Even Fox News!” excluded the Puerto Rican rapper.
The NBC comedy sketch show was cut into mocajed clips of various Fox News hosts saying, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician and he should be the next president.”
“I’m really excited to be doing the Super Bowl. I know that people all over the world who love my music are happy too,” the 31-year-old “Tití Me Preguntó” singer said before speaking in Spanish.
“In particular, all Latinos and Latinos in the US world who have worked to open doors spoken in Spanish.
“It’s more than a victory for myself, it’s a victory for all of us. Our footprints and contributions in this country can’t take it or erase it,” he added in his native language.
The three Grammy winners concluded his monologue in English.
Last Sunday, Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio-born Bad Bunny announced that he will be headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, scheduled for February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
However, the announcement was filled with backlash from several people, including Danica Patrick.
On Monday, the former professional racing driver responded to a tweet from a fan claiming that “Latin King Trap” was “President Donald) Trump Harter, an “anti-ice activist” and “there was no English song.”
“Ah, fun. English songs should not be allowed, one of America’s most rated television events, not just sports, but one of the top rated television events of the year,” replied the 43-year.
Alt-Right political activist Jack Posobiec has denounced “Barack Obama’s best friend Jay-Z” for choosing “Barack Obama’s best friend Jay-Z” as his next Super Bowl half-time performer. (Jay-Z entertainment company Roc Nation is creating the Super Bowl Halftime Show.)
Bad Bunny frequently criticizes the Trump administration and the US Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, the “Monaco” hitmaker supported former vice president Kamala Harris after calling comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and Puerto Rico “the island of garbage” at Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally.
