“Whoever’s doing the Super Bowl is contractually obligated to only do the Super Bowl, so, you can’t perform at the Grammys. Is this true?” Trevor asked.
Bad Bunny responded, “I wish, but I can’t… I came here [and] I thought I was performing, but now I can’t.”
Later in the show, Trevor tricked Bad Bunny into sort of performing!
Trevor started singing his music to him and told him, “If they sue you, that’s not me.” Watch below!
Bad Bunny got a standing ovation for what he said during his acceptance speech.
