NFL Legend Rips Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Decision

Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson is not a fan of having Bad Bunny headline the upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime show.

On Monday, a TMZ camera man caught up with Dickerson at Los Angeles International Airport, where the former Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts star let loose with his take on the Puerto Rican rapper.

Dickerson said he had "never heard" of Bad Bunny and didn't know any of his songs. However, Dickerson said had heard "some stuff" Bad Bunny had said about the United States that he did not appreciate.

"If Bad Bunny don't like the United States, keep his a-- where he at," Dickerson said.

“I’m from the U.S.,” Dickerson added. “I love my country. And if you don’t like the United States, just get your a-- out of here and don’t come over here.”

Dickerson did not specify what views or comments of Bad Bunny's that he took offense to, but the Puerto Rican artist has spoken out against President Donald Trump and did not hold concerts in America during a recent tour due to fears of ICE raids.

Various conservatives have spoken out against the NFL choosing Bad Bunny to headline the Super Bowl halftime, including Trump himself, calling it "absolutely ridiculous."

'It's not the U.S.'

Bad Bunny, 31, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is a three-time Grammy winner and native of Bayamon, Puerto Rico.

When the TMZ photog mentioned to Dickerson that Puerto Rico is technically part of the United States, making Bad Bunny an American citizen, the NFL's all-time single-season rushing yardage leader was unmoved.

“I know Puerto Rico is part of the U.S.,” Dickerson said. “But, it’s not the U.S. That’s the way I look at it. That’s the way I feel.”

Dickerson also voiced criticism of the NFL when asked if he thought they picked Bad Bunny to cause controversy, calling the league "way more crooked than the federal government."

Major honor for the 'King of Latin Trap'

Despite some backlash, Bad Bunny being chosen for the Super Bowl halftime is a massive accomplishment, putting him in recent company that includes Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Usher and Jennifer Lopez.

“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown. This is for my people, my culture and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el Halftime Show Del Super Bowl,” Bad Bunny said in a statement after the announcement was made.

Super Bowl LX will take place on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
