In just a few weeks, Bad Bunny will be taking the stage at the Super Bowl LX Halftime show on February 8. The hitmaker’s selection for the show has been met with division from football fans, but the Puerto Rican rapper has taken it in his stride.
Unwary of criticism, the Grammy winner allegedly has some tricks up his sleeve to set off his haters even more. According to sources, Bad Bunny will honor Puerto Rican members of the LGBTQ+ community during his performance.
A report suggests Bad Bunny will celebrate Puerto Rican queer icons at the Super Bowl Halftime Show
According to Radar Online, Bad Bunny will wear a dress during the halftime show performance. This move, according to the outlet, is to “honor Puerto Rican queer icons and generations of drag, resistance and cultural rebellion.”
“He loves controversy. He lives to push envelopes,” a stylist working alongside the rapper for the performance told the publication. The source added, “He is 100 percent going to wear a dress. A political thunderbolt disguised as couture.”
This wouldn’t be the first time Bad Bunny has drawn attention to this cause. In 2020, when he performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he paid tribute to Alexa Negrón Luciano, a transgender woman murdered in Puerto Rico. He donned a T-shirt reading “Mataron a Alexa, no a un hombre con falda (They killed Alexa, not a man in a skirt).” Bad Bunny also appeared in drag for the music video for his single, “Yo Perreo Sola.”
The star’s upcoming performance at the halftime show has already been met with political criticism. Right-wing network Fox News put out extensive coverage criticizing the Puerto Rican’s selection for the esteemed show. Unbothered, Bad Bunny quipped on his SNL opening monologue that his haters had “four months to learn Spanish.”
