Bad Bunny is set to headline the Super Bowl Halftime show, which will be airing from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. In a press release, the singer expressed his excitement and noted,
"“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
Just before the official announcement, Bad Bunny took to his X channel (@sanbenito) and wrote, (roughly translated)
"I've been thinking about it these days, and after talking with my team, I think I'll do just one date in the United States."
Rapper and founder of Roc Nation, Jay-Z, praised the DTMF singer and described his work in Puerto Rico as "inspiring." He added,
"We are honored to have him on the world’s biggest stage.”
NFL's SVP of Global Event Production, Jon Barker, also expressed praise for the artist and noted,
“We know his dynamic performances, creative vision, and deep connection with fans will deliver the kind of unforgettable experience we’ve come to expect from this iconic cultural moment."
The news comes days after Bad Bunny had responded to questions about skipping US shows for his upcoming "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour". In an interview with I-D magazine published on September 10, Benito revealed that he has no "hate" for not showing up in the US. He explained,
"People from the U.S. could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. But there was the issue of — like, f***ing ICE could be outside."
