    Was talking to some folks this weekend and mentioned bad bunny (took a trip to PR recently so had Benito on my mind). They were like … Really??? You like Bad Bunny? Thing is, his music goes hard and I love the pride he has for his home. It’s fantastic to see so much inclusive pride exuding from a notable artist. He’s also topping international charts. Love to see this.

    I am SLIGHTLY concerned that ICE may use this as a super bowl honey trap, which el conejo malo has commented on - it’s why he’s not doing concerts in the USA for the foreseeable future (guess until the super bowl).

    Can’t wait to see what kind of controversy this spins up /s

    Edit: Whelp, didn’t take too long to confirm that ICE intends to be there - https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2025/10/01/bad-bunny-super-bowl-ice/6781759362656/

      On the last point at least, isn’t a huge criticism of the Super Bowl that only the wealthy can afford tickets?

        True but there are Latinos with money.

      This won’t hold. Just wait until someone in the administration finds out he sings in Spanish… They’ll replace him with Kid Rock or Kanye West featuring Ted Nugent…
