Half Time Show with Bad Bunny: Political Statement?
Bad Bunny will be the first male Latin solo artist at the Half Time Show of the next Super Bowl. Also a political statement? Bad Bunny had recently said that he had recently said that he would not play US shows for the time being-out of worry about interventions by the ICE authority. But then he posted the following on X: “I have thought about it in the last few days and after consultation with my team I will probably make an appointment in the United States” – meant February 8, 2026, day of the Super Bowl, for which he was now announced as a musical act.
For Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, as his name is, performance is a statement “for my people, my culture and our history”. For Corey Lewandowski, advisor to the Ministry of Homeland, the show is a danger. According to his information, the ICE authorities would be represented in increased number at the Super Bowl. “There is no place where people who are illegally in this country can offer a safe refuge. Not at the Super Bowl and nowhere else,” he said in an interview with the conservative policy commentator Benny Johnson. “We will find, arrest, put it in a detention center and deport you. Understand that this is a very real situation for the government, in contrast to the past,” he added.
Lewandowski worked for Donald Trump in the previous campaign periods and in the past six months since his second inauguration, the raids have increased significantly towards immigrant: inside in the USA. The ICE authority has been aiming for at least 3,000 arrests per day since May 2026. Against this background, Bad Bunny decided against the shows in the United States, especially after being witness to a great ICE raid in Puerto Rico in June.
Lewandowski: “It’s so shameful”
Lewandowski takes this statement as an opportunity to accommodate Bad Bunny a hatred of the USA. In an interview with Johnson, he said: “It is so shameful that you have decided to choose someone who obviously hates America so much to represent them in the half-time game.” The Republican cannot understand why Bad Bunny should play the Half Time Show.
But Bad Bunny already rejected the hatred of hate. In an interview with “ID”, the regional artist explained: “There were many reasons why I didn’t appear in the US [Auftritte] were successful. Everyone was great. I enjoyed getting in touch with Latinos who live in the USA. ”
The people from the USA could travel to Puerto Rico to see his upcoming shows there, said Bad Bunny. Latinos and Puertoricans could also enter the concerts in Puerto Rico or to other countries from the United States. But: “There was the problem that F *** ng ICE could stand before my concert. That was something we talked about and that very worried us.”
