NYC mob shouts ‘f— Charlie Kirk’ as BLM co-founder leads the chant

NFL fans are fuming online, demanding the league cancel its choice of an LGBTQ-aligned singer with what many see as anti-American views for the coveted Super Bowl halftime slot.

This is Bad Bunny. He was just announced as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. – Massive Trump hater – Anti-ICE activist – No songs in English He even canceled his entire U.S. tour for this reason: “F***ing ICE could be outside my concert. And it’s something that we were… pic.twitter.com/11KvuSWnEH — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) September 29, 2025

Is this going to be the first time the NFL is forced to change the halftime show performance? The backlash over Bad Bunny is INSANE. — Jack (@jackunheard) September 29, 2025

“I have not seen a single person…”

I have not seen a single person who wants Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl. It's actually hilarious. Whoever picks these people should be fired. — Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) September 29, 2025

One user noted the irony of Bad Bunny, who allegedly refused to perform on the mainland owing to American immigration policies, accepting the Super Bowl gig to begin with.

The post earned 300,000 likes!

Political commentator Jack Posobiec noted that rap mogul Jay-Z plays a major role in halftime show selection:

Some people questioned why the NFL would allow an open-borders activist during perhaps one of the most anti-immigration periods in recent American memory:

Just going to predict this right now: After the NFL caves and pulls Bad Bunny from the Super Bowl due to overwhelming backlash (he's vehemently pro-open borders and anti-ICE), legacy media and Democrats will turn him into the next Jimmy Kimmel. Guaranteed. Santa Clara – the… https://t.co/aJcLcfktBC — Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) September 29, 2025
