Bad Bunny being announced as the halftime show to Super Bowl LX has caused a national reaction toward the NFL. He’s not concerned about it, though, as he prepares to perform in front of the world come February 8th.

Hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night in the show’s debut of this season, Bad Bunny referenced his nod as the halftime performer during his opening monologue to the show. He joked at the expense of those who have criticized him as the choice, with him giving them a four-month heads-up to start brushing up on their Spanish.

“You might not know this but I’m doing the Super Bowl halftime show, and I’m very happy. I’m very happy, and I think everybody is happy about it, even FOX News,” he said, running a mock clip of reactions on the network from the past week. “But, really, I’m very excited to be doing the Super Bowl, and I know that people all around the world that love my music are also happy.”

“And, if you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn,” Bad Bunny said in closing, having just spoken for half a minute in Spanish.

Plenty of fans are still very excited about Bad Bunny being the choice for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show this year in Santa Clara. Still, there is a segment of people who, for whatever more conservative reasoning, obviously aren’t, with those of that opinion disagreeing this past week for the most part due to his international performance as essentially all of his music is done in Spanish.

NFL announces Bad Bunny as halftime performer for Super Bowl LX

The NFL closed out the first month of the season in Week 4. However, the league looked ahead to February as they closed out the weekend with their announcement for the halftime performer at Super Bowl LX.

At halftime of Sunday Night Football between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, Bad Bunny was announced as the halftime show, sponsored by Apple Music, for Super Bowl LX on February 8th. He’ll take the stage on the field in Santa Clara come Super Bowl Sunday’s kickoff at Levi’s Stadium.

“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny said in a statement per the NFL. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
