Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, is clearing up his past sentiments regarding his upcoming 2026 Super Bowl LX halftime show just days before the annual NFL event.
The highly anticipated football game on Sunday, Feb. 8, is expected to draw massive international viewership thanks to the reggaeton artist, who recently made history at the 2026 Grammy Awards, where his critically-acclaimed album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, became the first Spanish-language project to win the title.
During his Saturday Night Live hosting monologue in October 2025, he joked that non-Spanish speakers had "four months to learn" the language, but in a new statement, he insisted the comment was all in fun. “They don’t even have to learn Spanish,” the rapper, 31, announced on Thursday, Feb. 5, during the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Press Conference.
“It’s better they learn to dance. There’s no better dance than the one that comes from the heart. That’s the only thing that they need to worry about. I just want people to have fun,” he added. "I know that the world is gonna be happy at this Sunday, and they're gonna have fun, and they're gonna dance, and they're gonna have a good time."
As for how he's feeling about taking the stage during the Big Game, he admitted, "Last night, I couldn't sleep," sharing that he'd often woken up "thinking about the Super Bowl at 4 AM," per BBC.
Still, even through the nerves of the career high moment on the horizon, the "Me Porto Bonito" artist confirmed a sense of calm amid the chaos: "You always have to be proud about who you are and feel comfortable being yourself. Feel proud about your history, where you're from, but don't let that limit yourself."
A Historic Year for Bad Bunny
While accepting his Grammy honor on Feb. 1, the music star hit the stage with pure emotion. “Puerto Rico, believe me when I tell you that we are much bigger than 100 by 35,” he said in Spanish during his speech, referring to a Puerto Rican colloquialism about the island’s small size.
“And there is nothing we can’t achieve. Thank God, thank you to the Academy, thank you to all the people who have believed in me throughout my career. To all the people who worked on this album, thank you, Mami, for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico, I love you,” he continued, before switching to English to add, “I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland to follow their dreams.”
