Bad Bunny's Electrifying Super Bowl Halftime Show Sparks Controversy and Record-Breaking Streams

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, remains at the center of headlines this week following his explosive Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. According to The National Desk, controversy erupted as Republican lawmakers like Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee demanded a Congressional investigation into the NFL and NBC, labeling the performance inappropriate and pushing for FCC scrutiny over potential indecent language violations. Rep. Randy Fine of Florida echoed this in a letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, calling it vulgar, while Rep. Mark Alford noted ongoing probes into the lyrics. The New York Post's On The Money column reports the FCC reviewed the show, noting lyrics were censored to avoid references to sex acts and genitalia, and is shelving further action without new evidence. Ogles and Alford criticized it as an NFL bid to expand into Latin America over American patriotism.

Musically, Business Insider details the epic setlist Bad Bunny delivered last Sunday, opening with hits like "Tití Me Preguntó" and "Yo Perreo Sola" from his albums Un Verano Sin Ti and YHLQMDLG. He mixed in tracks from his Grammy-winning 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, such as "Voy a Llevarte Pa PR," "Eoo," "Baile Inolvidable," "Nuevayol," "Café Con Ron," and "DTMF." Surprise guests included Lady Gaga for a salsa twist on "Die With a Smile," Ricky Martin on "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii," plus cameos from Karol G, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, and Pedro Pascal. Other songs spanned "Safaera," "Party," "Monaco," and "El Apagón."

Apple Music reports unprecedented buzz: listens spiked 7x post-show, with "DtMF," "BAILE INOLVIDABLE," and "Tití Me Preguntó" topping streams. The pre-show press conference shattered records with over 63 million views, and Shazam saw massive upticks, especially for "BAILE INOLVIDABLE" in the U.S. Spotify now hosts the live halftime single, keeping the momentum alive.
