It’s a big weekend for Bad Bunny fans! Gov. Gavin Newsom has now declared Super Bowl Sunday “Bad Bunny Day” in California ahead of his halftime performance in the Bay Area.
He made the announcement on X, where Newsom praised the Puerto Rican artist while also trolling President Donald Trump.
Newsom has been imitating the president’s social media writing style in the past few months, including his post about Bad Bunny.
“As many people know, I am a tremendous lover of ‘the Spanish.’ It is a beautiful language spoken by many beautiful people in the great state of California and across the world. I am also a huge fan of Puerrrrrrrto Rico,” Newsom wrote. “That is why I am declaring tomorrow in California as ‘Bad Bunny Day,’ when Bad Bunny performs at the big game in the Golden State with his soothing, beautiful voice, and his very nice looks.”
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will face off in Super Bowl LX on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most-streamed artists on the planet. He will take the Super Bowl stage just one week after he won album of the year at the 2026 Grammys for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” It’s the first time an all-Spanish-language album has taken home the top prize.
He has faced major criticism from the president and his followers after being named the Super Bowl halftime performer. Turning Point USA is hosting an alternative Super Bowl halftime show called “The All-American Halftime Show,” with Kid Rock set to headline.
Bad Bunny used one of his speeches at the Grammys last weekend to amplify his criticism of immigration enforcement in the country.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out,” Bad Bunny said to a standing ovation with roaring applause while accepting the award for best música urbana album. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.”
“The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them, we love our family. Don’t forget it, that’s how we do it with love,” he added.
Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico, making him a U.S. citizen. Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory for nearly 130 years.
