The most profitable place of music was set by the corresponding artist, who actually sells albums: Bad rabbitThe Paul Puerto Rico-Rapera and the singer, who became the world megastar, perform during the break of 2026 during the break, the gifts of right-wing influential faces with a fresh channel for the old complaint, which the culture woke up, penetrated into each crevice of American culture, especially the Super Bowl.

Their proof: NFL chose mainly the Spanish -speaking artist, who, as you know, wears women's dresses who approved Kamal Harris in 2024, and who condemned the immigration lacquers of this year. Obviously, this decision was developed in order to erupt them, and not to submit millions and millions of Bad Bunny fans.

“The year after the year NFL is self-destroyed,” wrote the conservative commentator Benny Johnson on X. He said about Bad Bunny: “Massive Holder Trump. Activist against ICE. There are no songs in English. ”

Other critics accused the artist Reggathon of Flip Flippings, especially after the statements of Bad Bunny Earlier this month that he will not include some kind of confidential dates I had to quit more photos A world tour of the concern that American immigration and customs agents can aim at its fans.

The decision for the year for the annual year to play high-ranking pop artists and the legends of music in the presented break of the Super Cup is hardly a mystery. These are stars who sell either performers who turn to millions. But this boring reality did not stop the characteristics that the solution of a bad rabbit is a deep conspiracy designed to rot American households from the inside.

“The best friend of Barack Obama Jay-Z controls the process of selection of a super-cup through his company Roc Nation, which has an exclusive contract with the NFL. This is the one who chooses the show during the break, the most popular musical performance in America, ”writes the alternative figure of Jack Popobits.

In 2019, the NFL collaborated with Ropper Jay Z Entertainment and Sports Company, Roc Nation to release its breaks in the Super Bowl. The first show under the new partnership showed the Latin music of the 2020s in the speeches of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Since then, the hip-hop of artists, such as Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna and the Og Snoop Dogg, Dr., participated in the break of the institutions. Dre and Eminem.

Lamar 2025 Politically charged performance was a source of condemnation on the right. Dressed in red, white and blue, its mainly black dance team gathered in an American flag. And the invited star Samuel L. Jackson, dressed as Uncle Sam, caused the country's system racism. Lamar has already suffered the right to the “heart of the 4th” of 2017, where he called Trump “chatter”.

Once there was such a flash point where she performed “formation” with the participation of dancers in black panther outfits and paid tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement.

At least, these complaints were based on the speech that actually occurred, unlike the statements that NFL manipulated Kansas-City leaders to ensure the hard end of Travis Kels and his then girlfriend (now the bride) Taylor Swift support Joe Bayden. Of course, fully feasible.

Nevertheless, there should not be a secret why the Super Cup did not show a wildly popular, globally famous performers, awakening the magician: they are not. It is not surprising that Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood always seem to have entertainment for Trump rallies.

Bad Bunny is a reduced man-articulate on Spotify, who works behind the streaming artist of the platform for all the time, Swift. As of Sunday, his release “Debí Tirr Más Fotos” was the first album of 2025 to surpass 7 billion streams on Spotify. And the 31-year-old artist just finished the sold monthly living in the Coliseum of Jose Miguel Agrelo in San Huan, Puerto Rico.

Despite the fact that the Super Bowl for another five months, those who are not among the haters can enjoy the early beginning: Bad Bunny plans to accept the new opening of SNL this weekend.
