"The 31-year-old 'King of Latin Trap' will reportedly pay tribute to generations of queer activists, drag performers, and cultural icons during his upcoming show on 8 February. The award-winning singer, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, refused to cave to right-wing pressure and abuse after the National Football league (NFL) confirmed he would headline the inter-match performance this year. Several right-wing naysayers called for a mass boycott of the major sporting event, branding it and the singer as " satanic. " The wave of abuse included threats from the Trump administration which said it would place the singer in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility and "deport" him."
"A source close to Ocasio claimed the star, who said he was heterosexual but "fluid" in 2020, wasn't shaken by the backlash, adding that he "loves controversy" and was "100 per cent going to wear a dress." The anonymous stylist, speaking to Radar Online, said the performer planned to wear a "political thunderbolt disguised as couture" which would act as a tribute to historical LGBTQ+ figureheads in Puerto Rico."
