Chris Brown playfully suggested he should have headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show after Bad Bunny’s performance. “I think it’s safe to say… they need me,” Brown wrote on Instagram Stories, adding a winking emoji. His post followed Bad Bunny’s electrifying show, which honored Puerto Rican culture through music, food, and dance.
Bad Bunny performed hits like “Monaco” and “Tití Me Preguntó” entirely in Spanish, with celebrities including Cardi B and Pedro Pascal dancing alongside him. Surprise guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin also appeared, with Martin singing “Lo Que Pasó a Hawaii.”
While the celebration of Puerto Rico resonated with many, some NFL fans criticized the Spanish-language focus. Bad Bunny has previously voiced criticism of U.S. immigration policies.
Brown, who has never performed at a Super Bowl, has a history of legal issues. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to felony assault against ex-girlfriend Rihanna, receiving probation and community service. Subsequent incidents include a 2017 restraining order filed by ex Karrueche Tran and a 2023 assault allegation in London, where he was accused of hitting a producer with a tequila bottle.
