Kid Rock, who headlined the rival โAll-American Halftime Show,โ gave his review of Bad Bunnyโs Super Bowl Halftime performance during a Monday appearance on Fox Newsโ โThe Ingrahm Angle.โ
โLike most people, I didnโt understand any of it,โ Rock said of the show (via The Wrap), which Bad Bunny performed entirely in Spanish. โI saw thereโs a lot of dancers and a lot of big to-do stuff. And, you know, he said he wanted to have a dance party; it looked like he had one.โ
He continued, โNot my cup of tea, but I donโt fault that kid for doing the Super Bowl, getting in front of a global audience. I fault the NFL for putting him in that position and Turning Point for having to come out and have an alternative for people to watch. You know, itโs just โ poor kid.โ
Rock wasnโt the only conservative voice with criticism for Bad Bunny, who is largely shunned by the Right for his outspoken objections to ICE and Puerto Rican roots. President Donald Trump posted a scathing review on Truth Social shortly after Bad Bunny ended his set.
โThe Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!โ Trump wrote. โIt makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesnโt represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This โShowโ is just a โslap in the faceโ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day โ including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!โ
Bad Bunny hasnโt been without supporters, however. Pop sensation Lady Gaga, who performed alongside Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, wrote on Instagram that it was her โabsolute honorโ to sing with the album of the year winner.
โThank you Benito for inviting me and thank you to the entire cast for welcoming me onto your stage,โ she wrote. โI wouldnโt miss it for the world.โ
Bravo host Andy Cohen was also vocal in his support of Bad Bunny. He went on Instagram Threads to troll anyone taking shots at the Puerto Rican superstar. One Threads user wrote that the โAll American Halftime Showโ had them โfighting back tears,โ to which Cohen replied, โMe too. The idea that I can wear jorts while looking like a prune gives me hope about getting older! Kinda getting misty just typing it.โ
