Bad Bunny is reportedly cooking up a major surprise for his upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance—one that could see him sharing the stage with Drake. According to insiders speaking to The Sun, the Puerto Rican superstar is planning what would be the duo’s first public collaboration in years, coming amid Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—better known to the world as Bad Bunny—has officially locked in the headline slot for the Super Bowl show in Santa Clara next February. Sources say he’s aiming to use the global stage to showcase his artistry while paying homage to Latin music and his Puerto Rican roots. Besides Drake, several Latin artists are in consideration for cameos including Jennifer Lopez, J Balvin, and Cardi B are also reportedly being considered for cameo appearances.
Many pundits and politicians called out the NFL’s decision to choose the 3-time Grammy winner after he refused to bring his tour to the US, fearing federal agents would be outside his concerts. Trump administration officials clarified ICE agents would be at the Feb. 8, game, whether Bad Bunny liked it or not-however, Benito doesn’t seem to be deterred in spreading his message of love.
According to insiders, the upcoming show will be “unique” and intentionally crafted to uplift. “He is a voice for minorities and the Latino community, and he wants to use that platform to its fullest during the halftime show,” the source explained.
This appearance would also follow a turbulent period in hip hop. Last year, Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance sparked controversy after he performed his notorious Drizzy-diss, “Not Like Us.” Now, with Drake potentially joining Bad Bunny, fans could witness a historic moment of collaboration amid ongoing drama.
Their 2018 hit “MIA” not only solidified Bad Bunny’s crossover appeal but also highlighted Drake ’s long-standing respect for Latin music.
A source close to Bad Bunny told The Sun, “He doesn’t care about the beef or the controversies from last year. He wants to show support to his brother, as Drake helped him a lot early in his career.” The insider added that Bad Bunny is “a loyal person” who hopes to “send a message of peace, love, and respect” with his performance.
If Drake does join him, it would mark a high-profile moment of unity for hip hop, Latin music, and fans around the world—proving that even amidst rivalries, the stage can still be a place for reconciliation and celebration.
