NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is betting on Bad Bunny sticking to the music during the Super Bowl halftime show, despite the star's recent fiery anti-ICE speech at the Grammys. Goodell told reporters he believes the performer understands the platform's role in uniting fans. With the big game set for February 8 at Levi's Stadium, all eyes are on whether Bunny will keep it inclusive.
Oh, the drama! Fresh off Bad Bunny's Grammys moment where he dropped that powerful anti-ICE speech—'We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love'—and got a standing ovation, NFL boss Roger Goodell isn't sweating a repeat performance. Speaking to reporters on Monday, February 2, 2026, Goodell made it clear: he doesn't anticipate any political encores when Benito hits the stage for the Super Bowl LX halftime show.
"Mr. Bunny was right for the gig for two reasons," Goodell explained. "BB is one of the greatest artists in the world—but he also understood the platform he was on, and this platform is used to unite people and be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that." He added, "I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that and I think he will have a great performance." 🔥
The Super Bowl showdown between the Seahawks and Patriots kicks off February 8 at Levi's Stadium, with Green Day slated to rock the pre-game show. Goodell also addressed concerns about ICE presence during Super Bowl week, stressing that security remains the top priority with no changes from previous years. As TMZ Sports reported, no immigration ops are planned inside the venue, though agents will patrol the area.
Whether Bunny and the crew can resist spilling more tea—or keep it all about the beats—remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure: the NFL's serving unity with a side of suspense. Will Bad Bunny play it safe, or drop another bombshell? 👀
