Stephen A. Smith concedes President Trump has a “VALID POINT” calling out Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish halftime show. “There’s millions upon millions of Americans that would have wanted to hear something in English other than Lady Gaga. That is true.” “And me, personally… it also would have been nice if... some of the songs were in English.” “The president is speaking on behalf… of tens of millions of Americans who are like, ‘I didn’t understand a word he was saying because I don’t know Spanish.’ That is a valid point.”show more

Kendrick Lamar performed English songs and the same crowd was mad! It’s not about the songs. It’s MAGAs racism.

I can't beleive we live in a world where a 15mins half time performance causes more outrage than the Epstein files..

Not to mention the fact that Smith definitely would NOT have wanted to hear Bunny's lyrics had they been in English.

“These are the lyrics sung during [Bad Bunny's] halftime show... We had to blur out that much... If they were to do this in English, the FCC would’ve blocked this. They would have been fined into oblivion.”

@DanChesler @grok , did Bad Bunny perform this song at the Superbowl ?

@VigilantFox @DanChesler Yes, Bad Bunny performed "Safaera" as part of a medley with "Yo Perreo Sola" during the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026. It was a shortened version.

@BigD2372 @VigilantFox @DanChesler @grok what lyrics did he sign specifically from that song

In the shortened Super Bowl performance of "Safaera," Bad Bunny sang parts like: Refrain: "Diablo, qué safaera / Tú tiene' un culo cabrón / Cualquier cosa que te ponga' rompe la carretera" (Devil, what a wild party / You have an amazing ass / Anything you put on breaks the road). Verse: "Qué falta de respeto, mami / ¿Cómo te atreve' a venir sin panty?" (What a lack of respect, baby / How dare you come without panties?). It included explicit lines about sex and partying, as noted in translations. Full transcript on Genius.

@dingsknf @BigD2372 @VigilantFox @DanChesler Give us the full translation please Grok for the people refusing to accept he sang those words. We need it to come from you.

Based on reports and transcripts from the Super Bowl LX halftime show (Feb 8, 2026), Bad Bunny performed a shortened medley of "Yo Perreo Sola" and "Safaera." For "Safaera," he sang portions like: Refrain: "Diablo, qué safaera / Tú tiene' un culo cabrón / Cualquier cosa que te ponga' rompe la carretera" (Devil, what a wild party / You have an amazing ass / Anything you put on breaks the road). Verse: "Qué falta de respeto, mami / ¿Cómo te atreve' a venir sin panty?" (What a lack of respect, baby / How dare you come without panties?). Some sources note he skipped more explicit lines, with the audience chanting them. Full song translation on Genius.

I promise you I’m genuinely convinced society has came to a point where everyone only exclusively COMPLAINS and WHINES

I’m Puerto Rican, 3rd generation Puerto Rican-American, and I DON’T EVEN KNOW SPANISH, because my family and I ASSIMILATED to AMERICANISM 🇺🇸

Wow! Spanish has been part of America’s languages for a long time! Seriously! Enjoy the music! Shake those hips! Just be happy! It’s music! It’s not like it’s the redacted Epstein files or something!

Sassy ass @stephenasmith 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 ya mudda from Grenada ya know…

Those of us who speak Spanish don't understand Bad Bunny's songs either.

And for the NFL to do it on the 250th anniversary year of our country is fucking sick. They should have put together something to celebrate the United States, not some clown that hates our country

Stephen A. Smith folding like a cheap lawn chair the second Trump snaps his fingers. “Valid point” my foot you’re just scared of losing your MAGA viewers. Bad Bunny gave zero cares about your English-only snowflake tears, and neither should anyone else. Stay spineless, clown.

The NFL is controlled by the same Globalists that control the MSM and the Democrat party. The message of this "halftime show" is that Latin American countries are planning to take of the USA and destroy American culture. This is a response to Trump deporting criminal alien gang members, rapists and murderers. This is a declaration of war. I am not exaggerating.

who gives a fuck. y'all don't like music?? I'm so confused

Finally, someone says it: the halftime show alienated half the country. Talent aside, performing entirely in Spanish at a national event isn’t “culture” it’s tone-deaf to the majority audience. Trump’s critique isn’t about hate, it’s about common sense TV programming.

Clown ass mf defending a President that portrayed his people as apes. Everybody complaining about the language is either soft or too fucking entitled.

Millions of Americans were like: “No habla retardo!” 🥴

Who is listening to this Stephen A. Smith idiot? Bunny was literally there because he is popular. If these 15 minutes ruined your game experience and the weekend, then reassess your current state of mind and get away from the edge slowly.

While the Bad Bunny halftime show wasn’t as bad as some on the right make it sound, and I preferred the TPUSA one myself, the NFL missed most of their target audience with him as the halftime performer. If he’d only done 1 song in Spanish, no problem. Almost the whole thing, though? No. I’m Hispanic (half lol), but I think the NFL would do best to have halftime shows be primarily in English going forward

Can we not all just agree that this “made for tv/social media” show could all just be prerecorded and it sucks? Like bring back the cohesive shows that were actually fantastic because this sucks in every language…

The NFL, which claims they bring people together, CHOSE to tell Americans who don’t speak Spanish FU! It’s that simple. Why not find a French/italian/Arabic singer for next years halftime show? @NFL

The lyrics to his songs are not family friendly but cried as well. Have AI translate it for you. Not something very good for a Super Bowl.

I understand spanish and i didnt understand him, well i picked up a few words but not much more.

Based on what I've seen of the translated lyrics, if the translations are accurate, people would have been horrified if they were in English. A very bad choice.

If Ricky Martin had been the headliner there would have been much less of a backlash as Bad Bunny (BB). BB intentionally pissed of the US audience beforehand talking trash about the US and that he would not sing in English so on and so forth. So, WE THE PEOPLE pushed back.

This right after the monkey video about the Obamas??? This guy has no fucking backbone and sells out his culture to people tha despise his skin color. What a fucking cuck ass clown!

It could have been something more like this.

.. lady lucifer @ the superbowl . . .

The universe is healing 😱🤯😂

shocking

The notion any of those bad bunny songs are top of the charts is ridiculous They all sucked Just like @RottenTomatoes ratings. The entire industry is fake

Bitch ass mthrfckncoons are at it again:'The President...this...The President that..' after he just called our Black 1st family APES..then @stephenasmith has the gall to say wld've been nice to hear something in Eng after having JUST talked abt Lady Gaga's set! BB had 15min u FCK

No, the whole half time should have been in English and we shouldn’t have someone that hates our country perform! It was a total disgrace and I am glad so many people didn’t watch it!

I’m just happy he didn’t have a dress on. Spanish music or not, it was still better than the game 🤷🏻‍♂️

To be fair, a lot of Spanish speaking people didn’t understand him as well

We who do speak Spanish can’t understand a word Bad Bunny says either 🤣
