Danica Patrick has revealed her worst fear about Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show.

The Puerto Rican Rapper has been selected as the midway act for the upcoming Super Bowl in Santa Clara, with the choice causing an uproar. Patrick, who had a telling reaction to the news earlier this week, says she has concerns over the performance causing further division in America.

The 31-year-old rapper has been outwardly critical of President Donald Trump’s immigration drive and notably stayed away from the U.S. during his tour, claiming he was worried ICE agents would be lying in wait for his fans. He has also been accused of hating America.

Patrick, a known Trump supporter, reckons the show could prove divisive simply because Bad Bunny doesn’t have that many English songs.

“The Super Bowl is the most highly-watched show that we have on television the whole year. 127 million people are estimated to watch it. It’s the crown jewel on television and sports in particular, so it’s where we come together as a country,” she said in an interview with former White House strategist Stephen Kevin Bannon on his ‘War Room’ podcast.

Patrick insisted that she doesn’t have a problem with a non-United States citizen performing at the Super Bowl, pointing out that Bad Bunny is technically a citizen; however, she doesn’t believe the performance will be fun if she can’t sing along.

“I don’t have any problem with someone performing at halftime that is not from the United States – although Bad Bunny is technically a citizen because he was born in Puerto Rico – I don’t care where you’re actually born. What I care about is that I can sing along to the music, and his music is almost nothing in English.

“I don’t think it will be as much fun, I don’t think it will be as uniting, and I would hate to see that it would divide us again in yet another way where 127 million people normally come together to watch it.”

The former NASCAR driver also suggested that the selection could prompt alternate shows for folks who would not want to watch Bad Bunny.

“It’s probably going to be tempting, even for me, because I like to watch a great performance and I like to sing along,” she remarked.

Patrick is new to the political arena but campaigned for Trump before last year’s elections and claimed that she had never even voted before.
