Bad Bunny has been a vocal critic of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and he has also expressed a reluctance to perform in the country due to the risk that ICE agents could potentially arrest his fans at the venues.

Sections of fans have started petitions calling for the NFL to remove Bad Bunny from the halftime show. Amid the controversy, Turning Point USA, an organization previously led by the late conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk, announced it would give fans its own version of the halftime show.

Bad Bunny sent message to critics ahead of Super Bowl halftime show

Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most famous artists in the world at the moment. Transitioning from a SoundCloud rapper to a global superstar, Martinez is arguably the most famous face of the Latino community worldwide.

On Saturday, he responded to people criticizing the NFL's decision to have him headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show. During his appearance on "Saturday Night Live," Martinez shared his excitement about this opportunity.

“I’m very excited to be doing the Super Bowl, and I know people all around the world who love my music are also happy," Martinez said. “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.”

Then, he directed a message to those who don't want a Spanish speaker performing at the Super Bowl.

“If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn," he added.
