"The NFL Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the world and the halftime show famed as the US's most-watched TV moment. This year, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) gave a historic performance, becoming the first artist to sing an entire halftime show in Spanish. His set called for unity across the Americas, underscored by a large billboard above the stage reading: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love.""
"Did Bad Bunny refuse to stand for the US national anthem? Claim: "Wow.. Bad Bunny refused to stand for our national anthem", a user claims on X, sharing a video showing Bad Bunny sitting in a stadium while people around him allegedly sing the national anthem of the United States. The viral post, published on February 9, had more than one million views."
The Super Bowl halftime show featured Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny performing entirely in Spanish and promoting unity across the Americas, with a prominent billboard reading "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." President Donald Trump criticized the performance on his Truth Social platform. Bad Bunny has previously criticized US immigration enforcement, saying "ICE out" during a Grammy acceptance speech, and has been associated with reports that ICE operations killed two Minneapolis citizens. Bad Bunny is a polarizing, globally streamed artist and frequent target of online misinformation. One viral claim that he refused to stand for the US national anthem was false because the circulated video predated the Super Bowl and showed a New York Yankees game on October 7.
