On SNL, the artist recast the controversy as a statement of Latino visibility.

Overview

  • NFL and Apple Music have confirmed Bad Bunny to headline Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said there is “no tangible plan” for ICE raids at the game, while noting the administration continues general immigration enforcement.
  • Trump-aligned figures, including Corey Lewandowski and conservative commentators, criticized the pick and suggested ICE presence around the event.
  • Viral claims that the halftime show was canceled were debunked, with no changes announced by the NFL or the artist.
