Danica Patrick said Bad Bunny “should not be allowed” to perform at the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show because his songs aren’t in English.
On Monday, the former professional racing driver responded to a fan’s tweet that claimed the Puerto Rican rapper was a “massive [President Donald] Trump hater, an “anti-ICE activist” and had “no songs in English.”
“Oh fun. No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports,” Patrick, 43, replied.
Page Six has reached out to Bad Bunny’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

In Spanish, the hitmaker added: “Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL,” which translates to, “Go and tell your grandmother, that we will be the halftime show of the Super Bowl.”
Bad Bunny has frequently criticized the Trump administration and the cruelty of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Leading up to the 2024 presidential election, Bad Bunny endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

On the Fourth of July, the three-time Grammy winner released a music video for his song “NUEVAYoL,” which featured an artificial Trump voice apologizing for his stance on immigration.
Several far-right commentators slammed Bad Bunny being chosen for the show, including Jack Posobiec, who took to X to blame “Barack Obama’s best friend Jay-Z” for the artist selection. (Jay-Z’s entertainment company, Roc Nation, produces the Super Bowl halftime show.)
However, Bad Bunny was supported by several stars, including the ladies of “The View.”

“A lot of the MAGA folks apparently are very upset with the NFL. But they’re upset all the time,” Whoopi Goldberg said on the talk show Monday.
“Another great American performer is going to be performing. I don’t see the problem. Because y’all do remember Puerto Rico is part of the United States,” the “Sister Act” actress, 69, added.
Jennifer Lopez, who brought out Bad Bunny as a guest during her Super Bowl 2020 halftime performance, tweeted, “Now it’s your turn !!!!! bori gang lets gooooo.”
