Jennifer Lopez doesn’t understand why people are so upset about Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. The singer and actress made it clear she’s frustrated with all the backlash surrounding the Puerto Rican star’s big performance.
During an appearance on the TODAY show, Lopez looked genuinely surprised when host Craig Melvin mentioned about the backlash Bad Bunny is receiving.
“Is there controversy? I swear I don’t know,” she said with raised eyebrows. When Melvin explained that many people, including President Donald Trump, weren’t thrilled with the decision, Lopez just couldn’t relate with the situation.
“But why? I don’t understand that. He’s one of the top artists in the world right now, probably the top,” she responded.
Lopez’s reaction summed up what many fans are thinking. To her, Bad Bunny’s music isn’t about politics or division. It’s about energy, passion, and the kind of showmanship that crosses borders. “I’m so excited for him,” she added. “He puts on a great show. He’s an amazing entertainer.”
Trump Slams, Bunny Fires Back
The controversy kicked off after Trump told Newsmax that he found the NFL’s choice “crazy.” He claimed he’d never heard of Bad Bunny and questioned why the league gave him such a massive stage.

“I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it,” Trump said, calling the move “absolutely ridiculous.”
His longtime advisor Corey Lewandowski also took a swing, accusing the artist of “hating America.” That didn’t sit well with fans or with Bad Bunny himself.
Hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend, the 31-year-old also gave a clear message with all the talk going around regarding him.
“You might not know this but I’m doing the Super Bowl halftime show,” he joked. “And I think everyone is happy about it even Fox News.” Then he slipped into Spanish, teasing the audience: “If you didn’t understand what I said… you have four months to learn.”
He used that moment to thank the Latinos and Latinas who “opened doors” before him, calling the performance “a win for all of us.”
While Trump rages and critics rant, Lopez seems ready to grab her popcorn. As she put it, Bad Bunny will “blow everybody’s mind.” And honestly, she might be right.
