Bad Bunny Addresses Criticism of Spanish Super Bowl Halftime Performance: ‘Learn in Four Months’
Bad Bunny Responds to Right-Wing Critique Over Spanish-Only Super Bowl Show
Puerto Rican rapper and Saturday Night Live host Bad Bunny is making waves with his upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance, which will be conducted entirely in Spanish. This decision has sparked a notable backlash from conservative circles, prompting Bad Bunny to address the critics in a humorous manner.
Background on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
Recently announced as the halftime performer for Super Bowl LX in February, Bad Bunny previously made headlines as the musical guest on SNL‘s season finale. His choice to perform solely in Spanish has troubled some right-wing commentators, including Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who have warned about potential enforcement measures at the venue in Santa Clarita, California.
Noem made headlines for her comments on The Benny Show, emphasizing the need for “law-abiding Americans” to enjoy the Super Bowl. This remark seems to hint that visitors might be unwelcome.
Bad Bunny’s Witty Response
In response to the controversy, Bad Bunny infused humor into his monologue, noting that “everyone is happy” about his performance, even Fox News. He cleverly juxtaposed clips of Fox News hosts expressing admiration for him, proclaiming him as “my favorite musician” and suggesting he should run for president.
“I’m very excited to be doing the Super Bowl, and I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy,” he said, emphasizing the connection he shares with his fans.
He specifically acknowledged his Latino audience, highlighting their contributions and resilience: “All the people who have worked to open doors…no one can ever remove nor erase.”
In closing, Bad Bunny playfully challenged viewers, stating, “And if you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.”
With the spotlight on him, Bad Bunny continues to embrace and celebrate his heritage through music and performance. Are you excited to see how he brings his unique style to the Super Bowl stage?
