President Donald Trump has criticized the NFL's decision to select Bad Bunny as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, calling the choice "absolutely ridiculous." Trump, who stated he's unfamiliar with the artist, echoed concerns raised by his adviser and Homeland Security Secretary that Bad Bunny's perceived anti-ICE stance could be divisive. The artist, however, has previously expressed worries about ICE raids affecting his U.S. tour dates and sees his Super Bowl performance as a significant cultural win for Latinos.
