Donald Trump Had A Very Predictable Reaction To Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Announcement

Donald Trump and Bad BunnyUS president Donald Trump has shared his take on the news that Bad Bunny will be headlining at next year’s Super Bowl.Last week, the Puerto Rican singer and rapper announced he’d be performing during 2026′s Super Bowl Halftime Show, having previously made the decision to not play any dates in the United States on his latest world tour.At the time, he said the decision to not tour the US was made “out of concern about Latinos in the United States” as “fucking ICE could be outside” the venues.Posting on X shortly before the Super Bowl announcement he joked (in Spanish): “I’ve been thinking about it the last few days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States.”estuve pensando en estos días, y luego de hablarlo con mi equipo, creo que haré una sola fecha en Estados Unidos.— Benito Antonio (@sanbenito) September 29, 2025As one of the most-streamed artists of the 2020s, many were excited at the prospect of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show, but regrettably, there has also been some backlash from the MAGA crowd.Indeed, when he was first announced for the gig, many music fans pointed out the significance of having such a prevalent Puerto Rican act headlining the Super Bowl given the current political climate in the US under the Trump administration.Bad Bunny himself even poked fun at the backlash during his appearance on the latest edition of Saturday Night Live over the weekend – and now Trump has weighed in during an interview with NewsMax.Insisting he’s “never heard of” Bad Bunny and doesn’t “know who he is”, the president claimed: “I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s, like, crazy.” “And then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous,” he continued.“I never heard of him. I don't know who he is. I don't know why they're doing it.”On Monday’s “Greg Kelly Reports,” President Donald Trump joined the show and commented on the NFL’s decision to feature singer Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime performer. @gregkellyusa… pic.twitter.com/LP6DNMDFgs— NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) October 7, 2025Bad Bunny has sold seven million albums worldwide, with his latest release Debí Tirar Más Fotos hitting number one in the UK earlier this year, as well as peaking at number 13 in the UK.He’s also racked up three Grammy wins out of 10 nominations, and topped the US singles chart in 2020 with his Cardi B collab I Like It.The 2026 Super Bowl will take place at California’s Levi’s Stadium on Sunday 8 February.Donald Trump was in attendance at this year’s event, which was headlined by the chart-topping rapper Kendrick Lamar.MORE MUSIC NEWS:German Leader Backs Eurovision Boycott If Israel Is Not Allowed To CompeteTaylor Swift Has A Message For Critics Of Her New Album The Life Of A ShowgirlMariah Carey Opens Up About Long-Standing Feud With Eminem: ‘There Is Truth To That’
