Bad Bunny has once again found himself at the center of controversy. Last week, the Puerto Rican superstar was named as the Super Bowl halftime show, which angered many considering he has repeatedly criticized President Trump over his immigration policies.
Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski immediately came out to bash the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
“It’s so shameful they’ve decided to pick somebody who seems to hate America so much to represent them at the Halftime Show… If there are illegal aliens, I don’t care if it’s a concert for Johnny Smith or Bad Bunny or anybody else. We’re going to do enforcement everywhere. We are going to make Americans safe. That is a directive from the president. If you’re in this country illegally, go home.”
Lewandowski says ICE will be at the Super Bowl for Bad Bunny’s halftime show.

President Trump has also spoken out against the NFL’s selection.
“I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it — it’s, like, crazy,” Trump said. “They blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
On Tuesday, Bad Bunny caused another firestorm when he refused to stand during God Bless America during the Yankees-Blue Jays playoff game.

Bad Bunny raised eyebrows at the New York Yankees game Tuesday night … choosing not to stand during the singing of “God Bless America.”
Some fans on social media were furious with Bad Bunny for not standing during God Bless America.
“Hey, Bad Bunny. stand your a– up during God Bless America!” commented one fan.
“This is the guy NFL picked for the halftime show for superbowl unreal! So ridiculous and disrespectful. I want everyone at the superbowl to boo him out the stadium.” said another fan.
Some didn’t see the whole thing as a big deal.
“It’s not the national anthem before the game where everyone is expected to stand it’s the 7th inning song and although most people want to it’s not something you have to stand up for you can just enjoy your time with your friends. this isn’t really a valid argument” argued another fan.
It seems like fans are going to be divided by Bad Bunny’s pick from now until the Super Bowl.
