J Balvin Confirms Absence from Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show

New York City - Fans hoping for a repeat performance from J Balvin during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show will be disappointed. The Colombian artist confirmed to TMZ that he will not be joining Bad Bunny on stage.

The anticipation stemmed from the duo's previous collaboration at the Super Bowl in 2020, where they performed alongside Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Adding to the speculation, Balvin recently joined Bad Bunny on stage in Mexico City for the final show of his tour, performing several of their collaborative hits.

Bad Bunny, the most-streamed artist on Spotify globally in 2025, is set to headline Super Bowl 60. His selection has sparked some controversy, with reports of resistance from conservative groups and the Trump administration. Despite the backlash, many have come to the Latin music star's defense. Jennifer Lopez, who previously performed at the Super Bowl, urged fans to give Bad Bunny a chance, emphasizing the unifying power of music. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has also expressed confidence in the show, stating it will be a "great show" and a "united moment."

BNN's Perspective:

While the controversy surrounding Bad Bunny's performance is unfortunate, the Super Bowl halftime show has always been a platform for diverse musical acts. It's important to remember that music can transcend political divides and bring people together. We hope the performance will be a celebration of music and culture, enjoyed by all.
