Puerto Rican singer -songwriter Bad Bunny presented the premiere of the “Saturday Night Live” season, where he mocked the negative reactions to his next performance in the Super Bowl’s part -time show during his monologue and jokingly asked Americans to learn Spanish before their show.

“I am very happy and I think everyone is happy for it, even Fox News,” said the artist, followed by a clip of the presenters and guests of Fox News cut together so that they seem to be reciting the phrase “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician and should be the next president.”
Speaking in Spanish, Bad Bunny then described his next performance as an “achievement” not only for him, but for all Latinos, and added that “our contribution to this country can never be eliminated or erased by anyone.”
Bad Bunny’s music is almost exclusively in Spanish, and at the end of his comments in Spanish he joked with the public about the next show: “If they did not understand what I just said, they have four months to learn.”

Key history
Bad Bunny was appointed last Sunday as the Super Bowl part -time show sign in an advertisement that was immediately received with a negative reaction from online conservative critics, which aimed at their letters in Spanish and past criticisms of Trump immigration policies. The artist has just finished a residence of 30 shows with exhausted entries in his native Puerto Rico, but notably refused to play in places in the United States due to the concerns that the customs immigration and control service (ICE) chases his fans. Days after the announcement, key figures of the National Security Department said the agency would patrol the Super Bowl. The National Security Advisor, Corey Lewandowski, said that ICE would make “application” anywhere, pointing out “I don’t care if it’s a concert by Johnny Smith or Bad Bunny or any other person.” The Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noem, echoed these comments on Friday, stating that Ice would be “everywhere” in the Super Bowl.
Large number
250 million dollars. That was the amount that Bad Bunny’s three -month residence in Puerto Rico generated for the local economy, according to The New York Times, citing Moody’s Analytics data. It is estimated that 600,000 fans attended the concerts, according to the agency.
Surprising data
Despite the intense reaction of some conservatives, this will not be the first time that Bad Bunny acts before the Super Bowl public. Jennifer Lopez invited him as a guest artist during his performance in the part -time show of Super Bowl Liv in 2020, along with other Latin superstars such as Shakira and J Balvin.
