Trump Claims Ignorance of Bad Bunny ahead of Super bowl Performance
PHOENIX, AZ – Former President Donald Trump stated he is unfamiliar wiht Puerto rican superstar Bad Bunny and dismissed the artist’s upcoming Super Bowl LVII halftime show performance as “absolutely ridiculous.” The comments, made during a recent interview, arrive as Bad Bunny’s prominence continues to surge, challenging conventional cultural boundaries in mainstream American entertainment.
The exchange highlights a broader cultural shift and the growing influence of Latin artists in the U.S. music scene. Bad Bunny’s entirely Spanish-language repertoire and recent appearance on Saturday Night live, where he playfully challenged non-Spanish speakers to learn the language, have sparked conversations about inclusivity and depiction. His Super Bowl performance is poised to be a landmark moment, potentially reaching an audience of over 100 million viewers and signaling a significant departure from previous halftime shows.
Trump’s remarks echo past criticisms leveled against artists perceived as challenging his political agenda.In 2016, a similar backlash arose following a performance by a duo singing in both English and Spanish, which was interpreted as a rebuke of Trump’s anti-immigrant policies at the time.
During his Saturday Night Live monologue, Bad Bunny quipped, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.” The artist’s unapologetic embrace of his native language has resonated with fans and critics alike, solidifying his position as a cultural icon.
