Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, globally known as Bad Bunny, continues to make history. The NFL confirmed that he will headline the halftime show of Super Bowl 2026, making him the first solo Latino artist to headline the most-watched event on American television.
The event will take place on February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and a million-strong audience is expected both inside and outside the stadium.
The announcement, celebrated by Roc Nation and the artist himself in a statement rich with cultural references, marks a milestone in the career of the Puerto Rican artist, who has brought reggaeton to the forefront of the global music industry.
However, behind this achievement lies a decision that surprised his fans: this will be the only concert he will give in the United States in 2026.
In recent posts, Bad Bunny explained that he has avoided performances in the United States out of fear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations could turn his shows into targets for raids against immigrants.
“The damn ICE could be outside”, said the singer, emphasizing that he does not want his fans, many of whom are undocumented Latinos, to take risks by attending his concerts.
It is not the first time Benito has spoken out on the subject. In interviews and in his music video 'NUEVAYoL', he had already criticized immigration policies and ICE operations, reinforcing his stance of support for the Latin community.
After his appearance at the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny will continue his world tour 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos', which includes stops in Mexico, Colombia, Japan, Spain, and other European countries, where he has already sold out tickets in record time.
In this way, the "conejo malo" adds another chapter to his legacy: being the voice of a generation that dances reggaeton, but also demands respect and safety.
