Bad Bunny will get his chance to shine under the bright lights of the Super Bowl stage this Sunday, and he's determined to make it a night to remember. The Puerto Rican rapper, just one week after taking home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, is set to perform in front of millions watching the most-watched US television event of the year.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been making waves with his music and social commentary. His album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, a politically charged record infused with Puerto Rican culture, made history by becoming the first Spanish-language work to win the top prize at the Grammys, beating out competition from Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber.
In his acceptance speech, Bad Bunny echoed the sentiments of many who have been critical of ICE policies, saying "ICE out," he said. "We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans." He added that "the only thing that is more powerful than hate is love."
When asked about his upcoming Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny emphasized the importance of having fun. "It's gonna be a huge party," he said. "I want to bring what people can always expect from me, and a lot of my culture."
However, not everyone is thrilled with Bad Bunny's booking. Department of Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski has called his performance "shameful" and claimed that the rapper seems to hate America. The homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, warned that ICE would be monitoring the event.
Despite the controversy, the NFL stands by their decision to book Bad Bunny. Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the choice, saying that the artist is one of the greatest in the world and understood the platform he was on.
Bad Bunny has a history of using his platform for social commentary. In 2020, he appeared on the Super Bowl stage during Shakira and Jennifer Lopez's performance, marking his first time at the iconic event. This year, he will perform before kick-off alongside Green Day.
The Super Bowl is also expected to feature some high-profile commercials this year, including appearances from A-listers like Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, and Emma Stone. The NFL has seen a rise in ad rates this year, with many brands presenting their biggest campaigns of the year.
As for Donald Trump, he will not be attending the Super Bowl after stating that the venue is "too far away." When asked about Bad Bunny's performance, Trump said, "I'm anti-them. I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred."
The stage is set for an unforgettable night of music and entertainment at the Super Bowl this Sunday.

. People are saying he's gonna "sow hatred" but honestly, I think he's just speaking truth to power 
. Like, isn't that what artists are supposed to do? I'm so over Donald Trump thinking he's above this sort of thing 
. And Corey Lewandowski needs to chill out with the "shameful" comment 
. It's all about freedom of expression and Bad Bunny's music is a reflection of his experiences as a Latinx person in America 
. Can't wait for the Super Bowl show, it's gonna be lit 
!
. The landscape was so flat, it felt like I was driving on a giant highway for miles. And then, suddenly, there were these tiny little cows roaming around everywhere 
. Anyway, what's with all the drama around Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance? Can't we just enjoy some good tunes and not make it about politics 
. I mean, have you ever seen a commercial where they just show people having fun and smiling at each other without any controversy or negativity? Just a bunch of folks having a good time 
.
So, like, people are saying that Bad Bunny's gonna be awesome on the Super Bowl stage 
but I'm like, hold up, why do we need to have a rapper at the most-watched US TV event of the year? Can't they just stick to football or something? 
And what's with all the controversy surrounding it? Corey Lewandowski is being super extra about it 
. I mean, I love Bad Bunny's music as much as the next person, but can't we just enjoy the game without all the drama? 
also what's with corey lewandowski calling bad bunny's performance "shameful"? needs more info on this one...
. He just wants to have fun and share his culture with millions of people, right? 
And honestly, I think it's cool that he's using his platform to talk about important issues like immigration 
. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but who are we to judge? 
. But come on, it's the Super Bowl! It's supposed to be a party 
! And let's be real, who doesn't love a good celebration of diversity and inclusivity? 
his message of love & acceptance over hate is exactly what we need more of in this world 
i don't get why some ppl are so salty about him performing, especially dont trump 
let's just enjoy the show this sunday & celebrate diversity & inclusivity 
. On one hand, it's awesome that he's getting a platform to share his art and message with millions 
. Can't we just enjoy the music and celebrate our differences instead of getting all worked up about it? I'm not saying Bad Bunny isn't making a statement – he totally is 
. But let's take a step back and remember that art is supposed to inspire, not divide us 
like corey lewandowski sayin bad bunny's performance is "shameful" 
gotta love that ben affleck, bradley cooper & emma stone r gonna be makin' appearances too 
meanwhile, i'm just here for the party 
can't wait to see what bad bunny brings to that stage and hopefully we'll get some unity in the form of a sick performance 
he's gonna bring so much energy to the stage! i love his vibe and his message is so important 
but whats up with corey lewandowski callin him shameful 
. and what's with the whole "seems to hate America" vibe? Bad Bunny's got a point about us being humans and not animals 
Can't we just enjoy the show without the drama?
