Former race car driver Danica Patrick has voiced strong opposition to Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, arguing English-language songs should be prioritized. She labeled the Puerto Rican artist a "demonic Marxist" and questioned the choice for a major US televised event. Despite Patrick's criticism and past concerns Bad Bunny had about ICE at his concerts, NFL executive Jon Barker defended the selection, citing the artist's global influence and ability to connect with diverse audiences. Bad Bunny expressed pride in representing his culture and history with the performance.
