Hamilton speaks out against Trump over criticism of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show

The halftime show Over 130 million American viewers followed the Super Bowl on NBC – the final of the US football league – and, as always, the halftime show, the so-called halftime show, has been at the center of public debate in the States.
And the 2026 performance was no different, with Puerto Rican performer Bad Bunny reciting the names of all the American states, plus Canada, accompanying them with the phrase: “Together we are America, the only thing more powerful than hate is love.” complete with writing that stood out on the screens of the Santa Clara stadium. Trump’s reaction “Absolutely terrible, the worst show ever. A slap in the face of America”, US President Donald Trump thundered on social networks, pointing the finger at the Spanish-language show: “No one understands a word and the dancing is disgusting especially for children”. Phrases that immediately sparked discussion and were directly aimed at Bad Bunny. Hamilton’s defense Lewis Hamilton, present on Sunday in the stands of the Santa Clara stadium, wanted to respond to the controversy launched by Donald Trump, without being afraid to touch on political issues: “It was one of the most important halftime shows in history. In a world and in a country led by people whose only objective is to encourage divisions, we witnessed the show of an artist who expressed a message of unity. And this gives me goosebumps. I have the greatest respect for Benito and his show. It was one show that was not just about him, but about the people. He inspired me. I don’t speak Spanish, but his message of unity resonated deeply. Seeing the flag of Grenada made me feel connected immediately, my family is from there. And as he said, the only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
