Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant revealed on The Up and Adams Show that he has never listened to Bad Bunny’s music, casting doubt on whether he will be enjoying the artist’s performance during Super Bowl 60’s Halftime Show. When asked by Kay Adams if he felt well enough to dance to Bad Bunny despite his recent ankle injury, Durant replied,
“I haven’t listened to Bad Bunny before,”
suggesting he may not participate in the celebration in the way some fans might expect.
Durant also mentioned he is recovering from his injury and feeling better, though he admitted, “We’ll see in the morning.” Despite his limited familiarity with Bad Bunny’s work, Durant acknowledged he is not much of a dancer but appreciated Usher’s previous Super Bowl performance.
Mixed Reactions Surround Bad Bunny’s Halftime Headline
The selection of Bad Bunny as the headliner for the Super Bowl Halftime Show has sparked debate. Some have expressed skepticism, including an anonymous NFL player who criticized the league for allegedly overemphasizing international artists and implying the performer should be American. However, this overlooks the fact that Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican artist, holds American citizenship.
Regardless of the controversy, Bad Bunny remains a global music icon. At the recent 2026 Grammy Awards, he secured three wins, including Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. His prominence in the music world makes him a high-profile choice for the event.
Additional Highlights and Previous Super Bowl Experience
Bad Bunny will share the Super Bowl stage with other notable performers. Charlie Puth is scheduled to perform the National Anthem before the game, while Green Day will open the ceremony. This event will mark Bad Bunny’s second involvement with the Super Bowl Halftime Show, having made a cameo in Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s earlier performance, although it remains uncertain whether he plans to invite special guests during his upcoming set.
With Kevin Durant’s candid admission and ongoing reactions to the Halftime Show lineup, the event continues to generate tension and anticipation among fans and participants alike. Durant’s comments highlight differing levels of engagement with the headlining artist, underscoring the varied expectations surrounding this major cultural moment.
