Bad Bunny is anticipated to collaborate with Drake during his Super Bowl halftime performance in Santa Clara in February 2026. This partnership comes after Bad Bunny’s prior work with Drake on the hit song “MIA” in 2018, which showcased their mutual appreciation for Latin music.
Drake’s potential involvement in the halftime show coincides with his ongoing legal battle against UMG over defamation claims related to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.” Despite Universal Music Group’s CEO dismissing the lawsuit as baseless, Drake continues to pursue the case, seeking internal documents to support his claims.
In preparation for the show, Bad Bunny aims to highlight his creativity and pay homage to Latin music and Puerto Rico’s musical heritage. Alongside Drake, considerations for other artists to join the performance include Jennifer Lopez, J Balvin, and Cardi B.
Sources close to Bad Bunny affirm his desire to express gratitude towards Drake for his support early in his career, despite any past controversies. While acknowledging Drake’s merit to headline the show, Bad Bunny is keen on having him share the stage for select songs as a mark of appreciation for their collaborative history.
