KMOB1003 — Where Legends Break & Underdogs Rise – Bad Bunny Super Bowl
Brace yourself: the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show 2026 is already the most talked-about performance in NFL history. From Puerto Rico to global stadiums, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — better known as Bad Bunny — is stepping into America’s biggest stage, and not everyone is celebrating. While stars like Shakira, Bruno Mars, and Jennifer Lopez praised the choice, conservative critics fired back. Yet NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear: the show will go on.
The Announcement and Reaction
When the NFL confirmed Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performer, reactions poured in across the cultural spectrum. Jelly Roll shouted him out:
“From Wrestlemania to the Super Bowl — you inspire us all! Much love.”
But backlash quickly followed. Former President Donald Trump said he had “never heard of” the artist and called the decision “absolutely ridiculous.” Conservative adviser Corey Lewandowski added fuel, warning ICE would “be present at the game and halftime show.”
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe he’s “excited about my culture, my family, Puerto Rico, all the Latino people around the world.”

NFL’s Response: Standing Behind the Choice
Bad Bunny Super Bowl: On Oct. 22, Goodell defended the selection, reminding fans that criticism comes with every performer:
“I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback. It’s pretty hard to do when hundreds of millions are watching. But Bad Bunny is one of the most popular entertainers in the world — and we’re confident it’s going to be a great show.”
By framing Bad Bunny as both a cultural powerhouse and a global music leader, the NFL is signaling its commitment to expanding beyond the traditional stage.

KMOB1003’s Take
Bad Bunny’s rise — from trap innovator to cultural icon — makes him the perfect artist for this moment. The backlash? Predictable. But when millions tune in next February, the halftime show will mark not just a stage for Bad Bunny, but a celebration of Latin culture on one of the world’s biggest platforms.
