While speaking about the Super Bowl, the Puerto Rican singer declared, “I’m very happy. And I think everybody is happy about it. Even Fox News.”
Fox News hosts criticized the NFL’s decision to have Bad Bunny perform during the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. They were mainly unhappy about the singer having songs in Spanish.
However, instead of airing news clips of Fox News’ hosts slamming the decision, SNL chopped up Laura Ingraham nd Sean Hannity’s comments to make them say, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.”
Bad Bunny thanked those who are genuinely excited about his Super Bowl halftime show.
“Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors,” he shared in Spanish. “It’s more than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us. Our footprint and our contribution in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it.”
Speaking in English, he added, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn [Spanish].”
