Jennifer Lopez is celebrating Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show with a message that highlights both cultural pride and continuity.
On September 28, the Bronx-born star took to X to salute the Puerto Rican megastar after the NFL announced he will headline Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. “Ahora te toca a ti !!!!! bori gang lets gooooo @sanbenito,” she wrote. The phrase translates to, “Now it’s your turn! Boricua gang, let’s go.”
The comment carried more weight than a simple shoutout. Lopez, who co-headlined the 2020 halftime show alongside Shakira, was effectively passing the torch to Bad Bunny.
Her words display the historic resonance of his selection, signaling the importance of another Puerto Rican artist commanding one of the world’s most visible stages. By declaring “Ahora te toca a ti,” Lopez recognized not just a career milestone but a generational shift.
Jennifer Lopez Congratulates Bad Bunny On Super Bowl LX
“Bori gang” reflects a sense of Puerto Rican solidarity, shorthand for “Boricua gang,” often used to celebrate cultural wins on a global scale. Lopez’s embrace of the phrase aligned her with the pride millions of Puerto Ricans and Latinos felt seeing Bad Bunny ascend to the NFL’s showcase.
For Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, the announcement is another benchmark in a career defined by shattering expectations. He has become one of the most dominant artists of his era, breaking streaming records and blurring genre boundaries between reggaetón, Latin trap, and pop. His Super Bowl slot further cements Latin music’s central role in the global mainstream.
Lopez’s excitement also reflects the ongoing evolution of halftime show programming. Her own 2020 performance with Shakira was hailed as a watershed moment for Latin representation, weaving cultural identity and politics into the spectacle. Bad Bunny’s forthcoming headliner builds on that momentum, showcasing how Latin artists have moved from collaborators to the main event.
Her post struck both a personal and communal tone. It celebrated Bad Bunny’s achievement while signaling a broader cultural triumph.
More than a congratulatory message, Lopez’s words framed the moment as an elevation of Puerto Rican identity on one of the world’s largest stages, where music, culture, and history converge.
