Fans race to learn Spanish before Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half-time show
AP ^ | Wed 4 Feb 2026

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.”

Yeah, I’ll get right on that. I’d hate to not know what he is saying .

Does Elon have an implant chip for that? Not much time left.

If you believe this AP vomit, I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. Is the MFL to damn cheap to throw subtitles up on the big screen? This article is left wing bovine scatology. The PR Briar Rabbit and his MFL are playing “the fans” like a cheap pair of Puerto Rican maracas. LOL. Idiots. I wouldn’t be surprised if Goodell the Idiot doesn’t throw out the Clydesdale and replaces them with a team of donkeys and a two wheeled wagon.

Maybe he should have used that 4 months to learn English, you know, the official language, just saying.

I don’t need to learn a foreign language to watch the Half Time Show.

I won’t be watching dust bunny.

I’ll be watching the Turning Point USA Half Time All-American show on America’s Voice.

I thought this was a Babylon Bee post. I will not be watching the halftime show nor will I be learning Spanish anytime soon. Indeed, companies that run Spanish ads on TV face a one-person boycott. The language in the US is English...deal with it.

When I read the title, I really thought it was The Bee. So now everyone is going to be speaking Spanish because of Bad Bunny? This is bizarre.

An anti-American weirdo in a dress who refuses to spic English—NFL means nothing to me. Dead to me.

I too assumed Babylon Bee. No, it’s not. But this is still fake news. Unless you’re some kind of one-in-a-million savant of foreign languages, it’s simply not possible to gain any functional level of fluency in a language that you don’t know in like a week or two. The military language schools take a minimum of 6 months of daily 6-7 hour classes to teach a langauge. Yes, this country has no shortage of idiots, but I doubt that even a single idiot is doing of months of daily 6-7 hour Spanish classes just to understand Bad Bunny’s halftime show.
