People Are Criticizing Bad Bunny For Headlining The Super Bowl Despite Skipping The US On His Tour Over ICE, And I Fear They’ve Totally Missed The Point

One person explained: “He didn’t perform in the states because of concern of ice being outside of his 30+ locations with his predominately all Hispanic fanbase. He’s performing at the Super Bowl which is attended by mostly non Latinos. Why isn’t it clicking for yall?”

“undocumented immigrants are not going to be at the superbowl with ICE camping outside to arrest them … he didn’t tour here because his spanish-speaking fanbase would want to see him, and naturally that would make his concerts an ICE target. not the superbowl,” somebody else reiterated.

While another asked: “why are people being dense about this? rich white people attend the super bowl, ICE isn’t targeting them. and it’s safe to assume he intends to make a political statement building on the themes of his album; there’s power in doing that on a national stage.”

One more wrote: “He's going to sing in Spanish at the most american event in the current political climate, It is clearly an intentional message.”
