As controversy brews around Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl 60 halftime performance, Kayla Braxton is calling it exactly how she sees it.
On February 7, 2026, reports began circulating about a planned mass walkout during Bad Bunny’s performance, allegedly organized by groups upset over the artist’s political stance—including his anti-ICE speech at the 2026 Grammy Awards. The backlash has even sparked talk of “alternative programming” being promoted during the halftime show.
“🚨#BREAKING: There are reports of a large walkouts being planned during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 60 halftime performance. This comes amid growing political backlash and alternative programming tied to his upcoming show.”
That didn’t sit well with Braxton, who took to Twitter to address the growing outrage. In a single tweet, she cut through the noise and called out the racial motivation behind the walkout:
“Cool, if you’re walking out… can the rest of us rotate in and enjoy the show? Seats shouldn’t go to waste. We can keep them warm until your racism passes.”
Her response came just days after Bad Bunny shocked Grammy viewers by using his acceptance speech to send a clear message about immigration and human dignity.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ‘ICE out’. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we’re humans and we are Americans.”
The statement sparked immediate backlash from critics who accused him of politicizing the stage. But Bunny didn’t stop there. The Puerto Rican icon doubled down with a message of empathy and defiance:
“I know it’s tough not to hate on these days and I was thinking sometimes we get contaminados… the hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. We need to be different, if we fight we have to do it with love.”
Now, as he prepares to headline Super Bowl 60 from the Bay Area, the tension between celebration and protest is reaching a boiling point. But with voices like Braxton stepping up, it’s clear not everyone is ready to let hate own the moment.
