Once again, Eduardo Verástegui, a former teen star of Mexican soap operas and now a politician aligned with Donald Trump's ideology, lashed out at Bad Bunny following the explosive halftime show at Super Bowl LX, in which the Seahawks were crowned champions over the Patriots.
Although the Mexican actor himself had urged his followers not to watch the 'halftime' show, he did not hesitate to explode against the Puerto Rican's music.
"They demand respect, but at the same time they celebrate, applaud, and normalize figures like the 'Bad Bunny' insulting them, objectifying them, and degrading them through his songs and videos (women reduced to objects, explicit language, use-and-discard presented as false 'empowerment')," he wrote on his X account.
Verástegui took advantage of the situation to make his moral values clear regarding the Hispanic representation displayed at Levi's Stadium, pointing out that with the performance of the "Bad Bunny" on one of the most iconic sports stages in the United States, "the humiliation" of dignity was celebrated.
"Just because something excited you doesn't mean it's total representation. Isolated symbols do not redeem a vulgar and degrading underlying message. Confusing the two is to abandon discernment. Let's not confuse noise, fame, and worldly success with true victory," said the politician who had been campaigning for days against Bad Bunny's presentation at Super Bowl 60.
Likewise, he disparaged the growing fame and recent achievements that Bad Bunny has earned in the music world, asserting that it is only "noise."
"Not everything that glitters is gold," the former singer of the group Kairo noted.
¿Qué dijo Eduardo Verástegui sobre Bad Bunny antes del Super Bowl?
For a few days, as the date of the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks approached, Verástegui began a campaign against Bad Bunny on social media, in which he even called for people not to watch the show.
Despite the criticisms from the Mexican actor and other politicians, the Puerto Rican never responded to the accusations against him.
Following the 2026 Grammy winner's participation in the Super Bowl, criticisms were immediate, coming from everyone from U.S. President Donald Trump to opinion leaders, who questioned the reggaeton artist's style, music, dancers, and way of speaking.
This has sparked a cascade of reactions on social media, where the conversation focuses on the importance of Latino representation in the United States, a country where raids against migrants have intensified.
