Bad Bunny or "Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio" , born 1994, is known as the "King of Latin Trap", and has risen to super star status across the globe while only singing in Spanish.
He has stated he will "never" sing in English he said, "just because someone says I need to do it to reach a certain audience."
He made history on Sunday night becoming the first Super Bowl half-time singer to exclusively sing in a language that is not English, which caused up roar in far right communities around not just America but the world.

The performance even caused a reaction from commander and chief Donald Trump who said on twitter, "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying."
Centre-right commentator Piers Morgan came out and in response to Donald Trump.
He said, "Couldn’t disagree more, Mr President. I absolutely loved Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Amazing (best in Super Bowl history?) theatre/choreography, great energy, superbly confident performance, and a very welcome unifying message. Oh, and Spanish is 1st language for 50m+ Americans!"
The Super Bowl uproar even caused a rival halftime show to be produced, "All-American" Turning Point USA the deceased Charlie Kirk's "non-profit freedom charity." The event featured an all Caucasian cast, Kid Rock and Lee Brice.

127 million people from around the world tuned into the Super Bowl half-time show, comparatively the "All-American" show had 5.7 million people watching.
Even traditional conservative figures such as right wing spokes person Candace Owen saying, “Reality: you lost the Super Bowl narrative. Bad Bunny had an objectively successful performance, whether you like it or not.”

She continued to discuss the narratives surrounding ICE saying, “More reality: the majority doesn’t agree with ICE shooting people in the face in Minnesota."
The performance itself has been described as a "performance of hope", even marrying a couple on stage which unsurprisingly is a Super Bowl first.
The performer handed his recently won Grammy to Lincoln Fox a five-year-old boy to signify a symbol of hope, many thought it was the child who was detained by ICE in Minneapolis a few weeks ago.
Overall the mass reaction to the performance was overwhelmingly positive with many celebrities coming out in massive support of the Latin singer.
American Football pundit Pat McCafee said, "It would be really cool to know Spanish right now."
Andy Herman another pundit said "We are about 22 mins away from Bad Bunny being the first halftime performer to win Super Bowl MVP"
The show was a categorical slap in the face to the far right who tried to demonise a performance which ended up encapsulating what it means to be truly American.
