Bad Bunny is expected to perform the Super Bowl half-time show on Sunday entirely in Spanish – which has inspired fans to quickly learn the language.
In October, the Puerto Rican singer – born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio – kicked off the 51st season of Saturday Night Live expressing pride over the achievement in Spanish, after which he said in English, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn!”
That declaration further stoked the anger of some conservatives who have vilified Bad Bunny for speaking out against US president Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant policies. The singer canceled the US portion of his tour last year out of fear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would target his fans.
There has been a frenzy online of people posting about Bad Bunny lyrics, including Puerto Ricans explaining slang used by the singer and non-Spanish speakers documenting their journey to learn Spanish.
Anticipation for his half-time performance has only intensified since last weekend, when his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos became the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy for album of the year. He did not shy away from addressing targeted federal immigration operations at the awards.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ICE out,” he said in English after winning his first Grammy for best música urbana album. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”

Trump doesn't have an anti-immigrant policy, AP, he has an anti-illegal-immigrant policy.
I didn’t realize the AP competes with the Bee.
Watch what?
I as well assumed this was BB...
Alas it was not. Just another example of a great sickness in our national soul, wherein (at least we are told...) citizens are eager to learn fragments of a different language so that they can relate to someone who is bent on destroying our society. How messed up is that? Pretty dang messed up.
LOL- fans of who?
¿Qué?
I “leaned” good.
Tus madre.
You don't have to watch the game but I do suggest you watch Kid Rock during TP halftime show.
If Kid Rock gets great ratings then the NFL will know that their stunt have failed.
Punta! :)
I’ve been listening to Santana since I was like 14 or 15 years old and I still have no idea what his songs in Spanish mean. I can sing em, but it’s just cool sounds. Kula Shaker has songs in Hindi I’ve been able to sing for 30 years and couldn’t begin to tell you what they mean either. But I suppose it’s good if people want to learn, learning is good.
Democrats come mierda.
De Nada. LOL!
El conejito no tenía huevos!
Jean a une longue moustache.
El conejo malo no tiene huevos.
Blessent mon cœur d’une langueur monotone.
S-O-C-K-S
I would imagine that lyrics to every Bunny song are available on line for those who desire to look them up.
