\t\t<\/p>\n Bad Bunny<\/strong><\/a> is going to be the 2026 Super Bowl<\/strong><\/a> halftime show performer, which is not surprising given his popularity, but it is <\/em>surprising considering his stance on politics and the United States at the moment.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n After his record-breaking residency exclusively in Puerto Rico over the summer, the 31-year-old DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS<\/em> performer recently spoke out in an interview to explain why he purposely didn\u2019t tour stateside this time around, and it has to do with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) amid the ongoing deportation of undocumented individuals, which has increased in Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s presidency.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople from the US could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world,\u201d he told i-D magazine<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cBut there was the issue that \u2026 ICE could be outside (my concert venue). And it\u2019s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.\u201d<\/p>\n Previously, he was asked about skipping the United States for his tour, and he gave a two word answer: \u201cIt\u2019s unnecessary.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Earlier in the summer, he called out \u201csons of b\u2013hes\u201d federal agents<\/a> in Puerto Rico for not \u201cleaving these people working here alone.\u201d<\/p>\n When the performance announcement was made on Sunday night (September 28), Bad Bunny <\/strong>wrote on social media:<\/a> \u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I\u2019ll do just one date in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n Evidently, he\u2019s decided to make an exception for this one performance. <\/p>\n estuve pensando en estos d\u00edas, y luego de hablarlo con mi equipo, creo que har\u00e9 una sola fecha en Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n \u2014 Benito Antonio (@sanbenito) September 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n No doubt, the oft-outspoken superstar will use the platform to make his stance clear while stateside. <\/p>\n Even his latest studio album is deeply political, expressing his concerns about preserving Puerto Rico\u2019s culture and infrastructure.
