So it’s clear that most of us will require a translator for the Super Bowl Halftime Show next year, thanks to Bad Bunny, a three-time Grammy Award-winning Puerto Rican American rapper who raps in Spanish (American citizen since birth because Puerto Rico is an American territory, BTW). Bad Bunny is also the most-streamed artist IN THE WORLD for the past three years!
Bad Bunny was hired for the gig by African American rapper Jay-Z (American citizen since birth because, you know, Brooklyn), who now works for the NFL as their Live Music Entertainment Strategist (lots to unpack there, I know) since 2019, when his Roc Nation partnered with the NFL.
