\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tNFL commissioner Roger Goodell is addressing the criticism surrounding Bad Bunny\u2019s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world,\u201d Goodell, 66, told reporters at a news conference on Wednesday, October 22, of the Puerto Rican star\u2019s success. \u201cThat\u2019s what we try to achieve. It\u2019s an important [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have any problem with someone performing at halftime that is not from the United States, although Bad Bunny is technically a citizen because he was born in Puerto Rico,\u201d she doubled down during an October 3 appearance on Steve Bannon<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cWar Room\u201d podcast. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t necessarily born in America. I don\u2019t care where you\u2019re actually born. What I care about is that I can sing along to the music. His music is almost nothing in English.\u201d<\/p>\nHomeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem<\/strong><\/a>, meanwhile, said U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents will be at the Super Bowl. (Bunny previously criticized ICE.)<\/p>\n\u201cThere will be ICE enforcement at the Super Bowl. There will be, because the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for keeping it safe, so I have the responsibility for making sure everybody who goes to the Super Bowl has the opportunity to enjoy it and to leave, and that\u2019s what America is about,\u201d Noem said in an October 3 interview with right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson<\/strong>.<\/p>\nShe added, \u201cWe\u2019ll be all over that place \u2026 We\u2019re going to enforce the law. So I think people should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they\u2019re law-abiding Americans who love this country.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Bunny\u2019s selection prompted backlash from some, others, including Jennifer Lopez<\/strong><\/a>, praised the decision.<\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019s one of the top artists in the world right now, probably the top,\u201d she said during an October 6 Today<\/em> show appearance.<\/p>\nScreen and stage icon Rita Moreno<\/strong> also defended Bunny<\/a> in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly en Espa\u00f1ol<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
