Bad Bunny’s worst ‘nightmare’ with ICE agents at his concerts: Could it come true at the Super Bowl?

The NFL confirmed Bad Bunny as the headline act for the halftime show at Super Bowl 60, which will be held in February 2026 in Northern California

The announcement was made alongside Apple Music and Roc Nation, generating a wave of reactions on social media as he is one of the most listened to artists at the moment, after releasing his latest album “Debi tirar mas fotos“.

Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl could have spoiled who will play for the NFL championship in 2026

The Puerto Rican performer, Grammy winner and one of the most influential artists of the last decade, expressed what this stage means to him:

What I feel goes beyond me. It’s for those who came before and ran countless yards so I could get there and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture and our history. Go and tell your grandmother, that we will be the HALFTIME SHOW OF THE SUPER BOWL.”

With these words, Bad Bunny made it clear that his performance will not only be a musical show, but also an act of cultural representation with a special dedication to the millions of Latinos.

The shadow of ICE in Bad Bunny’s career

Despite the enthusiasm, a past statement by the artist went viral on social media and generated debate. In an interview with i-D magazine, Bad Bunny admitted that at one point he hesitated to perform in the United States for fear that ICE agents would be around his concerts.

The singer himself confessed: “There were a lot of reasons why I didn’t perform in America, and none of them were to do with hate… but there was the whole thing of, like, ICE could be outside.”

The comment resurfaced after the Super Bowl announcement, recalling the nightmare that thousands of undocumented Latinos associate with these immigration raids.

A real risk in the Super Bowl?

Although the memory of that phrase made headlines, it is unlikely that an event of this magnitude will be overshadowed by ICE operations. The Super Bowl is not only the most watched sporting spectacle in the United States, but also a stage that attracts global attention.

Analysts point out that such a deployment could generate political controversy and tarnish the image of the event. However, for the Latino community on US soil, fear persists, and Bad Bunny‘s comment puts the conversation about Donald Trump‘s immigration policy back on the table

Bad Bunny’s presence at Super Bowl 60 promises to be a historic moment in which Latin music will once again take center stage in front of the world, without neglecting the important debate that arises on issues of immigration policy.

India Crush Pakistan by 88 Runs, Extend Unbeaten World Cup Streak to 12-0

View Comments Colombo: It was another chapter in India’s unbroken dominance over Pakistan on the World Cup stage. Under grey Colombo skies and on a tricky surface, India once again proved why they remain a formidable force in women’s cricket, defeating Pakistan by a commanding margin of 88 runs at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. The win not only maintained India’s perfect 12-0 World Cup record against their arch-rivals but also marked their second straight victory in this year’s tournament.

Men’s Uttarakhand Premier League 2025: Haridwar Elmas Crowned UPL 2025 Champions

View Comments Dehradun: Haridwar Elmas clinched the Uttarakhand Premier League 2025 title in dramatic fashion, chasing down 149 runs with four balls to spare in a thrilling grand finale at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun on Sunday. After winning the toss, Haridwar Elmas elected to bowl first, and their decision proved good as they restricted Nainital Tigers to 148/6. The Nainital innings began disastrously when Prashant Bhati dismissed both openers Dhruv Pratap Singh (12 off 6) and Aarav Mahajan (2 off 6) inside four overs. In at No.3, Rahul Raj Namala injected momentum into the Tigers' innings with an entertaining 29 off 20, striking two boundaries and three sixes. Captain Bhupen Lalwani attempted to anchor the innings with a measured 35 from 42 deliveries before retiring out in the nineteenth over. The cornerstone of Nainital's total was an […]
