UPDATE: Bad Bunny just fired back at MAGA critics during his electrifying monologue on Saturday Night Live (SNL), addressing the backlash surrounding his performance at Super Bowl LX scheduled for February 8, 2026. Following the announcement of his halftime show, conservative figures, including Megyn Kelly, labeled it a “middle finger to America,” igniting a wave of outrage.
During the live broadcast, Bad Bunny declared, “I’m doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show. I’m very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it. Even Fox News.” The Puerto Rican superstar showcased a cleverly edited montage of Fox News pundits, stitching together phrases to fabricate the statement, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.” This bold move drew laughter and applause from the audience.
The backlash intensified this week, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vowing that ICE would be “all over” the event. Conservative commentator Benny Johnson slammed Bad Bunny as a “massive Trump hater” and criticized his songs for being in Spanish, reflecting a growing divide in public sentiment.
In his SNL monologue, Bad Bunny emphasized his excitement for the Super Bowl, stating, “I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy.” Addressing his fans in Spanish, he said, “Especially all Latinos,” before passionately declaring, “More than an achievement of mine, it’s an achievement of everyone, showing that our footprint and contribution to this country, no one will ever be able to take away or erase it.”
His call to unity resonated deeply, as he acknowledged the hard work of Latino communities, saying, “All the people who have worked to open doors.” Bad Bunny concluded with a humorous note, reminding critics, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn!”
The rapper’s performance at the Super Bowl represents more than just a musical milestone; it symbolizes cultural representation and resilience. As Bad Bunny prepares for this momentous occasion, all eyes will be on the event to see how it unfolds against the backdrop of political tensions.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops, and watch for Bad Bunny’s historic performance that promises to make waves on February 8, 2026.
