Donald Trump Says Bad Bunny Performing at the Super Bowl Is 'Absolutely Ridiculous' Even Though 'I've Never Heard of Him

Donald Trump said during an interview on NewsMax’s “Greg Kelly Reports” (via Entertainment Weekly) that it’s “absolutely ridiculous” that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show next year, even though Trump also admitted that he’s “never heard” of the global music star.

“The NFL just chose the Bad Bunny rabbit or whatever his name is,” Kelly told Trump. “This guy, who hates ICE, he doesn’t like you, he accuses everything he doesn’t like of racism.”

“I’ve never heard of him,” Trump responded. “I don’t know who he is… I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s crazy. And then they blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment— I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”

The NFL and Apple Music announced Sept. 28 that Bad Bunny will be the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show performer. The announcement was notable as the Super Bowl is now Bad Bunny’s only U.S. concert appearance that’s set for 2026, as his highly-anticipated Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, which is scheduled to run from December through July 2026, is not stopping in the states. Bad Bunny told I-D magazine last month that his fear of ICE raids was part of the reason why he skipped touring in the U.S.

Most of the US doesn't care for ICE or at least the way they're currently doing business. Turn off FUX Noise you senile moron.
