In just a decade Bad Bunny rose from a young upstart to headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, becoming a central figure in Latin music and one of the world’s most streamed artists. He has been outspoken about the second Trump administration’s immigration policies, which brought controversy to his selection, but he sought to downplay concerns before the game: "It’s going to be fun...

People only have to worry about dance. I know that I told them that they had four months to learn Spanish. They don’t even have to learn Spanish. It’s better if they learn to dance." He broke into the mainstream through high-profile collaborations, including 2018’s "Mía" with Drake, "Te Guste" with Jennifer Lopez and his feature on Cardi B’s "I Like It" alongside J Balvin.

Early recognition followed: Latin Grammy nominations in 2017 and 2018 for songs such as "Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola" and "Sensualidad," a 2018 Grammy nomination for the "I Like It" feature, and his first Latin Grammy when "X 100PRE" won best urban music album.
