Millions of viewers watched Bad Bunny take center stage Sunday at the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show.
With Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin by his side, the Puerto Rican performer celebrated Latin American culture, unity and love in his 13-minute set.
After walking through a mock sugarcane field at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the Grammy-winning rapper and singer, born Benito Martínez Ocasio, delivered the Super Bowl’s first halftime show performed almost entirely in Spanish.
There was even a party in a casita on the field, with Cardi B and actors Pedro Pascal and Jessica Alba spotted among the dancers.
At the end of the performance, Bad Bunny held up a football with the words “together we are America” written on it, and shimmied in front of a scoreboard that read “the only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
While countless viewers praised the performance on social media, others were not impressed.
Chris Brown, who’s known for his chart-topping R&B hits, awe-inspiring dance moves, and never-ending legal troubles, took to his Instagram Stories to share his thoughts.
“I think it’s safe to say… they need me,” Brown wrote.
The Neighborhood Talk Instagram account reposted his comments and many readers responded by telling Brown to stop “hating” and being “disrespectful” of other artists.
Brown wasn’t the only “hater” watching from afar. President Trump went on a tirade about Bad Bunny’s performance in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” Trump wrote.
“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World,” he added. “There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD.”
Trump also raged about the NFL’s new kickoff rule, which we won’t touch since we have no clue what that’s about.
Bad Bunny is no fan of the Trump administration either.
Last weekend, the superstar performer denounced the administration’s immigration crackdown and declared “ICE out” on stage after winning three Grammy Awards, including the coveted album of the year trophy.
