Kid Rock Slams Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show After Going Head-To-Head Against The Puerto Rican Singer

Kid Rock blasts Super Bowl halftime choice

Kid Rock basically didn’t enjoy Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show. The singer shared his straight opinion on Fox News. He spoke with host Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle” on Monday night. And Rock made it clear the performance did not connect with him as it should have.

“Like most people, I didn’t understand any of it. I saw there’s a lot of dancers and a lot of big to-do stuff. And, you know, he said he wanted to have a dance party; it looked like he had one,” Rock said. But he stressed it simply was not for him. “It wasn’t my cup of tea,” he added.

Rock aimed most of his frustration at the NFL, not at Bad Bunny. He said the league made the wrong choice for such a massive event. He also defended Bad Bunny’s right to take the stage. Rock called the situation unfair to the Puerto Rican star.

“I don’t fault that kid for doing the Super Bowl,” Rock said. He praised the chance to perform for a global audience. Then he turned back to his main target. “I fault the NFL for putting him in that position,” he said. Rock argued many fans wanted a different kind of show.

The halftime performance drew huge attention on social media. Millions of viewers watched Bad Bunny perform his Spanish-language hits. Surprise guests Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga joined him on stage. Early estimates suggest more than 100 million people tuned in.

Bad Bunny’s halftime show created a lot of issues well before the Super Bowl. Some conservative fans did not like the NFL choosing him. They disagreed with his comments about US immigration raids. Others complained that the performance was mostly in Spanish at an American event.

Because of this, Turning Point USA created a different halftime show. They called it the “All American Halftime Show” and chose Kid Rock as the main performer.

Kid Rock performed during the Super Bowl break and said he wanted to give fans another choice. He later said he still watched parts of Bad Bunny’s show because clips were everywhere on social media.

The NFL has not reacted to Kid Rock’s criticism. The league usually avoids responding to halftime show complaints. It continues to focus on younger and global audiences.

Bad Bunny also has not replied to Kid Rock’s comments. Instead, he celebrated the performance with his fans online. Many supporters praised the energy and cultural pride of his show.

Both stars have now moved on to their next projects. Kid Rock continues touring and sharing his opinions. Bad Bunny enjoys the attention from performing on one of entertainment’s biggest stages.
