The NFL’s pick of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny to headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show ignited fury among MAGA commentators who fumed that the artist, a vocal critic of the administration’s deportation drive, is a “Trump hater.”
The three-time Grammy winner, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, will headline the show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, it was announced Sunday.
“This is for my people, my culture, and our history,” he said in a statement posted in reaction to the news.
High-profile MAGA influencers and commentators, however, protested the pick:
The 31-year-old has previously vowed to avoid U.S. tours while Trump was in office and mocked the president in his music, including a recent single that featured a Trump-like voice apologizing “to immigrants in America.”
