Bad Bunny's Jersey: Tribute or Hurricane Echo?
9 Feb
Summary
- Bad Bunny's jersey number '64' honored his late uncle.
- The number may also allude to Puerto Rico's initial hurricane death toll.
- Super Bowl LX featured a performance by Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, and Ricky Martin.
During Super Bowl LX, Bad Bunny's halftime performance, alongside Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, captivated audiences but also raised questions about his choice of attire. He wore a cream-colored jersey featuring the number '64' and the name 'Ocasio.'
This jersey served a dual purpose. Primarily, it was an homage to Bad Bunny's late uncle, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, who was a football player and donned the number 64. The name on the jersey directly references the performer's own full name.
However, the number '64' may also have carried a somber secondary meaning. It potentially alluded to the initial, widely disputed death toll of 64 reported by the Puerto Rican government following Hurricane Maria in September 2017.
