Bad Bunny Fires BAck At Super Bowl Halftime Show Backlash In 'SNL' Monologue
Bad Bunny kicked off Saturday Night Live’s 51st season by addressing the controversy around his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. He said he was thrilled to headline February’s show at Levi’s Stadium, joking that critics have “four months to learn Spanish.” Switching into his native tongue, he called the performance a win for Latinos in the U.S., saying their contributions “can never be erased.” SNL played along with the debate, airing a spoof montage of Fox News figures declaring Bad Bunny their favorite musician and even “the next president.” The backlash stems from his past refusal to tour in the U.S., citing fears that ICE agents would target his shows. Trump officials have since confirmed ICE will be at the Super Bowl, with advisor Corey Lewandowski stressing no venue will be a “safe haven” for illegal immigrants. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem slammed the NFL’s choice, saying league officials “won’t be able to sleep at night,” though she promised DHS will keep the event safe.
