Bad Bunny wasn’t so hot on touring in the United States, but he’s suddenly excited to return to the stage on American soil, having been named the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show performer in one of the most controversial revelations of its kind.

The NFL unveiled the Puerto Rican rapper as its selection for the halftime break at the upcoming championship game, with Roc Nation CEO and founder Jay-Z making the pick.

Fans have threatened to boycott the show since finding out that it will be headlined by Bad Bunny, but he’s looking forward to it.

“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” he said in a statement, per the New York Times. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”

As mentioned above, some fans are turned off and may carry out boycott threats. Danica Patrick was among the high-profile personalities who tossed mud on the decision, lamenting over the NFL naming someone who doesn’t perform in English to headline the most-watched television event in America.

The three-time Grammy Award winner has made a promise to whoever will be watching, vowing to show them “our music, our culture.” 

The 31-year-old previously took a shot at ICE, revealing he was staying away from the U.S. for fear that the agency would be lying in wait outside of his shows as part of their enforcement drive.

He has since walked back on that, suggesting he will make at least one stop in the country, given the decision.
