Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX gig at Levi's Stadium incites MAGA outrage

Almost as soon as news broke Sunday that Bad Bunny would be the halftime performer for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, pro-Trump conservative figures jumped on social media to express their outrage about the NFL giving such a global platform to a musician who sings in Spanish and who has been a vocal critic of the president’s hardline anti-immigration policies.

For his part, the Puerto Rican-born artist dubbed the “King of Latin Trap” celebrated his high-profile Halftime Show gig at the Feb. 8, 2026, game at the San Francisco 49ers Stadium in Santa Clara as a victory for the Latino community. “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny said in a statement. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown … this is for my people, my culture and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”

The Grammy-winning singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also a shared congratulatory post from California Gov. Gavin Newsom on social media. “California is excited to welcome you to Super Bowl LX,” Newsom wrote.

Moreover, local support for Bad Bunny’s upcoming starring role in the “one of the most anticipated and iconic musical performances in the world” came from the Bay Area Host Committee president and CEO Zaileen Janmohamed. “We are confident that Bad Bunny will deliver an unforgettable experience for fans in Levi’s Stadium and watching globally,” Janmohamed said in a news release. “This selection further amplifies the Bay Area’s position as a premier destination for world-class events, and we look forward to a spectacular show that showcases the unique spirit and diversity of our region.”

There's a simple answer if you don't like the performer, turn it off. Real simple.

Perhaps they'd prefer to have Roseanne sing the anthem & then grab her crotch.

Their TV remotes have a mute button, I should think, or they could change stations. Or, and this is my personal favorite. Eat shit and die!!!

They usually pick someone who's current for the halftime show.

to tune in for Kidd Rock. Lets see if the NFL bends to their will. I doubt it. Jay - Z's company has the contract to put on the Half Time Show. So there will be no Kidd Rock or Ted Nugent. I doubt any of them can bring in the extra eye balls.
