Mike Johnson, a prominent ally of Donald Trump, recently admitted that he was unaware of the identity of Bad Bunny before the uproar during the MAGA Super Bowl event.
Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican artist known for his criticism of President Trump and ICE policies, was announced as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, sparking discontent among many Trump supporters.
In response to the news, some individuals raised concerns about Bad Bunny’s citizenship, despite his birth in a US territory, with one Reddit user mistakenly suggesting that the NFL intentionally chose a non-US citizen for the show.
Critics also accused the NFL of being “woke” for selecting an artist with anti-Trump views, questioning the league’s alignment with left-wing ideologies and social issues.
Expressing dissatisfaction with Bad Bunny’s selection, some individuals advocated for a more unifying and traditional music act for the Super Bowl halftime show, such as country singer Lee Greenwood.
Despite the criticism, Bad Bunny, a highly successful artist with a massive following, is set to perform at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
