Rumors are swirling that Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) is gearing up for a hyper-political Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Airing on NBC and produced by Apple Music and Roc Nation—Jay-Z’s outfit handling NFL halftimes since 2019—the performance could ignite controversy with a bold “queer” statement. According to Radar insiders, Bad Bunny plans to don a dress as a nod to Puerto Rican “queer icons” and “generations of drag, resistance, and cultural rebellion.” A stylist called it “a political thunderbolt disguised as couture,” adding, “He loves controversy. He lives to push envelopes.” A glam team member warned, “He’s not playing it safe. The NFL has no idea what’s coming. Zero.”
This aligns with Bad Bunny’s 2025 antics: mocking fans to “learn Spanish” for his act and parodying President Trump in his July 4 “NUEVAYoL” video.
President Trump blasted the NFL for dodging responsibility, accusing them of blaming promoters amid fan outrage. Such a stunt risks alienating the league’s core audience, already weary of woke intrusions into sports. As family-friendly entertainment, the Super Bowl should celebrate athleticism, not divisive agendas pushing gender-bending spectacles. This rumored spectacle exposes the entertainment elite’s disconnect, prioritizing shock over shared values in America’s game.
