He also poked fun at his recent knee injury, joking that it was due to "complicated choreography." The singer-songwriter then turned his attention to his upcoming performance at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime show, saying he was "very happy" about the NFL's decision and that his Latino fans around the world were equally thrilled.
Addressing the right-wing backlash over his Super Bowl gig, Bad Bunny asserted that no one could "remove nor erase" the impact of Latinos in the United States. He delivered part of his message in Spanish, emphasizing that Latinos have "worked to open doors" and achieved great things, demonstrating their importance to the country.
