Good Bunny, Bad Bunny; Danica Patrick wants no bunny at the Super Bowl halftime show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While commenting on another account\u2019s post about the Puerto Rican rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio, Patrick criticized the idea of having him perform on stage in Santa Clara, Calif., for the pinnacle of television in America.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh fun,\u201d the former race car driver said on X. \u201cNo songs in English should not be allowed at one of America\u2019s highest rated television events of the year \u2026 not just for sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny had previously canceled tour dates in America out of fear they would be infiltrated by ICE agents.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there was the issue of \u2014 like, f\u2011\u2011\u2011ing ICE could be outside [my concerts],\u201d he told i-D magazine.<\/a> \u201cAnd it\u2019s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick also re-posted a wild claim that Bad Bunny was a \u201cdemonic Marxist\u201d who was being given the Super Bowl 2026 halftime platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cBad Bunny represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today\u2019s music scene,\u201d Barker said. \u201cAs one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to take the Super Bowl halftime stage. We know his dynamic performances, creative vision, and deep connection with fans will deliver the kind of unforgettable experience we\u2019ve come to expect from this iconic cultural moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL had been rumored to be pursuing Taylor Swift for the Super Bowl halftime show but that did not come to fruition.<\/p>\n
