Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show just ignited a flurry of reactions across social media. The international superstar’s performance drew praise from his fans, while some just weren’t going to be interested in Bad Bunny (or any non-English-speaking artist) from the get-go.
Bad Bunny’s performance featured a special guest appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, and the rapper performing songs from his new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The 31-year-old artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also played “Yo perreo sola” and “El apagón,” among other tracks.
