Bad Bunny Claps Back at Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Backlash During ‘Saturday Night Live’ Monologue
Bad Bunny isn’t letting his critics get the best of him.
The “Baile Inolvidable” singer spoke out following criticism of his upcoming performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live Oct. 4, where he served as host.
“I’m very happy,” he said during his opening monologue, “and I think everyone is happy about it—even Fox News.”
The sketch comedy series then showed a clip montage featuring news coverage of the 31-year-old’s halftime slot, which was edited to say, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician and he should be the next president.”
Bad Bunny went on to say that “people all around the world who love my music” were looking forward to the Feb. 8 performance, adding in Spanish, “Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors. It’s more than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it.”
