The NFL has a long history of featuring music legends like Bruce Springsteen and Britney Spears during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, this trend seems to be shifting.
In 2026, rapper Bad Bunny is set to take center stage at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Host Jason Whitlock views this decision as an insult—not just to supporters of President Trump and the MAGA movement, but to all Americans.
“They’ve chosen Latin, gay, hip-hop, gangster, trap music,” says Whitlock. “And the name, Bad Bunny? It feels like a joke.” He goes on to suggest that this is part of a broader cultural shift initiated by figures like Jay-Z and the NFL, which he believes may be a reaction to recent events such as Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
“This is the kind of artist the NFL has picked—a rapper who promotes dark themes,” Whitlock argues. “It seems to align with a demonic agenda.” He notes that this Super Bowl will take place in Northern California, the political home to leaders like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi, which he characterizes as a Marxist hub.
Despite his love for football, Whitlock is critical of the NFL’s current direction under Jay-Z’s influence, describing him as “an ineffective drug dealer” involved in violence yet celebrated in popular culture. “We have elevated him, along with all his controversial music, to a position of power within the most significant cultural institution in America,” he adds.
Whitlock claims that Bad Bunny does not sing in English, and he anticipates that the halftime show will feature elements that challenge traditional views of masculinity. He mentions a music video where Bad Bunny appears with makeup and, presumably, large fake breasts. “This will be a halftime show centered on drug culture,” he insists. “And while I love football, my fear of God surpasses my love for the game. This is going to have consequences for our children.”
