California Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared Sunday a special day for Bad Bunny fans.
Describing himself in a press statement as a “TREMENDOUS LOVER OF ‘THE SPANISH’” and a “HUGE FAN OF PUERRRRRRRTO RICO,” the governor said those are primary reasons why he is declaring Sunday “Bad Bunny Day” in California.
It comes as the Puerto Rican rapper and singer is set to perform at halftime of the Super Bowl on Sunday – a game taking place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
“I AM DECLARING [SUNDAY] IN CALIFORNIA AS ‘BAD BUNNY DAY’ WHEN BAD BUNNY PERFORMS AT THE BIG GAME IN THE GOLDEN STATE WITH HIS SOOTHING, BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND HIS VERY NICE LOOKS,” Newsom said in a statement via his press office. “MANY PEOPLE CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM. ACCORDING TO MY ‘GUYS’ AND ‘GALS’ (JESSE WATTERS IS OBSESSED WITH HIM ALMOST AS MUCH AS HE IS WITH ME!) WE LOVE BAD BUNNY!”

Newsom went on to call the Latin trap megastar “NEARLY AS ‘HOT’” as him, which, apparently, is “A BIG COMPLIMENT, BECAUSE THERE IS NOBODY ‘HOTTER.’”
“HAPPY BAD BUNNY DAY, AMERICA. ENJOY!!!” the Governor’s statement concluded.
