Bad Bunny Roasts MAGA Critics on SNL Before Super Bowl Performance

Bad Bunny mocked his critics about the decision to let him do the Super Bowl halftime show

Bad Bunny Serves Scathing Rebuke to Critics, Including Fox News, Over Super Bowl Halftime Show Snub

In a bold move that's got everyone talking, Puerto Rican rapper and international sensation Bad Bunny has fired back at his critics, including Fox News, over the controversy surrounding his recent confirmation as the headliner for the Super Bowl LX halftime show in California. The news has sparked outrage among Donald Trump supporters, who claim that Bad Bunny's anti-immigration views make him an unsuitable choice to perform on one of America's biggest stages.

The drama began when it was revealed that Bad Bunny had cited ICE agents as a reason he didn't include any mainland US dates for his upcoming tour. This decision was met with backlash from Trump loyalists, who accused the rapper of being anti-American and unpatriotic. "It's so shameful they picked someone who seems to hate America," fumed Corey Lewandowski, a longtime ally of the former president.

But Bad Bunny wasn't having it. In a scathing monologue that aired on Saturday Night Live this week, he addressed his critics with a healthy dose of sarcasm and humor. "You might not know this, but I'm doing the Super Bowl halftime show and I'm very happy – and I think everyone is happy about it – even Fox News," he quipped.

The rapper then dropped a bombshell by playing a heavily edited clip that stitched together the comments of various Fox anchors and pundits, making them sound like they were praising Bad Bunny as a genius. "Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president!" one anchor was seen saying. The audience erupted in laughter, but the message was clear: Bad Bunny was not going to let his critics get under his skin.

In fact, he took it up a notch by speaking directly to those who were still grumbling about his selection for the halftime show. "If you didn't understand what I just said... well, you have four months to learn!" he chuckled, before launching into a passionate speech in Spanish that left the audience cheering.

A Win for All of Us

Bad Bunny's message was clear: this Super Bowl performance is not just about him – it's about the Latino community and all those who paved the way for him. "Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "It's more than a win for myself; it's a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution in this country – no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it."

The news has sent shockwaves through the music industry, with many praising Bad Bunny for standing up to his critics and refusing to back down. As the Super Bowl LX approaches, one thing is clear: Bad Bunny's halftime show is going to be a spectacle like no other.

In related news, ICE agents will indeed be patrolling San Francisco during the Super Bowl, according to Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski. "There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally," he warned. "Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find and deport you – that's a very real situation."

But for Bad Bunny and his fans, this is just another opportunity to celebrate their culture and heritage on one of America's biggest stages. As the rapper himself said, "What I'm feeling goes beyond myself. It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown... this is for my people, my culture, and our history."

And with that, the stage is set for what promises to be one of the most unforgettable performances in Super Bowl history.
