The Puerto Rican artist is a direct rebuke to GOP efforts to whitewash America.

- Homeland Security head Kristi Noem promised that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement "would be all over the Super Bowl."
- President Donald Trump called the selection "absolutely ridiculous."
- Right-wing commentator Benny Johnson complained that the rapper has "no songs in English."
- Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren said Bad Bunny is "Not an American artist."

However, Bad Bunny - born Benito A. Martínez Ocasio - is a U.S. citizen, being from Puerto Rico, and a superstar, one of the top-streaming artists in the world.
He also endorsed Kamala Harris for president in 2024, which may have contributed to the conservative backlash.
