    Trump questions Bad Bunny as Super Bowl performer: “I don’t know who he is”

    Bad Bunny —a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico— is one of the most influential Latin artists globally, with three Grammy Awards, 12 Latin Grammys, and the most streamed album in Spotify’s history

    U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the decision to feature Bad Bunny as the headliner of the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, claiming he has no idea who the Puerto Rican artist is. “I’ve never heard of him. I don’t know who he is,” Trump said during an appearance on Greg Kelly Reports (Newsmax). He added, “I don’t know why they do this… It’s crazy,” referring to the NFL, which commissions the show’s production to Roc Nation, led by Jay-Z, with Apple as the sponsor.
