Jay-Z Defends Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Amid Backlash
Jay-Z, the music mogul behind Roc Nation, defended Bad Bunny's upcoming Super Bowl halftime show performance against backlash. Despite criticism from conservative politicians and public figures like President Donald Trump, Jay-Z expressed support for the Puerto Rican musician. Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio MartÃnez Ocasio, faced opposition due to his Spanish-language songs, with figures like Danica Patrick and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem voicing their concerns. However, artists like Jennifer Lopez and Rita Moreno praised Bad Bunny's selection for the halftime show. The Super Bowl LX halftime show, headlined by Bad Bunny, is scheduled to take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 6, 2026, and will be broadcast on NBC.
