Donald Trump called the NFL's decision to give the Super Bowl halftime show to Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny 'crazy'.
The president told Newsmax that he was unfamiliar with the 31-year-old musician but that the NFL was wrong to give him the prestigious gig given his previously stated dislike for Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
'I never heard of him, I don't know who he is, I don't know why they're doing it, it's like, crazy,' the president said.
He also felt that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was blaming the decision 'on some promoter they hired.'
'I think it's absolutely ridiculous,' Trump added, before tacking on his long-held complaint that the league's new kickoff rules are ruining the sport.
The rapper - who was born Benito Antonio Martinez - was the host of 'Saturday Night Live' this week and during his opening monologue, he addressed his haters.
'You might not know this but I'm doing the Super Bowl halftime show and I'm very happy and I think everyone is happy about it - even Fox News,' Bad Bunny said.
