Bad Bunny is facing more major backlash over his selection as the leading headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl LX halftime show, as critics focus more on his performance style and recent statement made in the public eye.
A viral online petition has gathered massive support against the celeb, calling for the NFL to replace him with country superstar George Strait.
Many argued more about how his drag performances and flamboyant style are not appropriate or family-friendly for a grand event like the Super Bowl, adding that a country artist would be so much better at portraying the traditional American culture.
The petition's supporters have constantly pushed for the league to reconsider the decision, with signatures continuing to hit the six-figure mark.
The criticism is mostly part of a bigger cultural debate, and key conservative figures have amplified the calls for a change.
Meanwhile, some detractors frame the singer's appearance as politically charged or out of step with what they feel the Super Bowl audience expects.
