_ “If You Don’t Understand Me, You Have Four Months To Learn” _


Bad Bunny on Saturday Night Live,

 

Bad Bunny did on Saturday night what he does best: he turned the stage
into a pulpit for pride, for comedy, and for Latino power. Headlining
Saturday Night Live, the Puerto Rican superstar finished his monologue
when he addressed the backlash of outrage that followed when he was
announced for the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Super Bowl LX on
February 8, 2026.

Conservative commentators, such as Megyn Kelly, had even labeled the
NFL’s decision a “middle finger to America.” Bad Bunny, never
one to refrain, made the criticism laughable. “Anyways, you might
not know this, but I’m doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show,” he
said, sporting that characteristic smirk of his. “I’m very happy,
and I think everyone is happy about it. Even Fox News.”

Cue montage. The SNL screens flashed with a lineup of Fox News
commentators, but the clips had been jokingly spliced together to
state: “Bad Bunny is my favorite artist, and he would be the best
president.” The crowd laughed.

THE MAGA MELTDOWN

His joke was not only witty, it was a sarcastic attack on the outrage
brewing in conservative circles all week. Homeland Security Secretary
Kristi Noem publicly promised that ICE would be “all over” the
Super Bowl, their statement loaded with threats. Conservative
podcaster Benny Johnson took it up another notch, labeling Bad Bunny a
“massive Trump hater” and slamming him for being an “anti-ICE
activist” who just happens to sing songs in Spanish, somehow
suggesting that he is speaking in tongues and that doing so is
illegal.

This is par for the course for the artist. He recently publicly
addressed steering clear of the continental U.S. during tour due to
concerns of interference from ICE. Bad Bunny has continued to use his
platform to denounce systemic issues affecting immigrants and Latinos,
particularly Puerto Ricans who remain stuck in the island’s colonial
limbo.

MORE THAN ONE ACHIEVEMENT OF MINE, IT IS OF ALL OF US

But his sharpest moment wasn’t a punchline, it was when he switched
to Spanish. With the kind of emotion that doesn’t need subtitles, he
told the SNL crowd: “Especialmente todos los Latinos.” The
audience erupted as he continued: “All Latinos and Latinas all over
the world, and here in the United States, all the people who have
worked to open doors. More than an achievement of mine, it’s an
achievement of everyone, showing that our footprint and contribution
to this country, no one will ever be able to take it away or erase
it.”

To the millions who tuned in from home, that wasn’t only a shoutout.
It was an announcement. Bad Bunny didn’t just rise up to the stage
as one artist, he did it as the representation of an entire community
that has struggled to be noticed, appreciated, and revered.

A JOKE WITH BITE

Still, Bad Bunny never leaves without leaving a laugh in its wake.
Returning in English, he finished up his monologue in an amused
challenge: “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have
four months to learn!” It was a moment laced with the same
irreverent sense of humor that has made him an international
superstar. But beneath the joke was another reality: Bad Bunny isn’t
catering to anyone. Least of all, he isn’t catering to ICE, to Fox
News, to outrage from the MAGA crowd. He is openly Latino, openly
Puerto Rican, and openly himself.
