- Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny) grew up in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, singing in his church choir until age 13 before he ever dreamed of stadiums and worldwide stages.
- Before chart‑topping hits and sold‑out shows, Benito was bagging groceries and uploading tracks to SoundCloud while studying audiovisual communications in college. Safe to say the major may not have stuck, but the vision sure did!
- His iconic stage name actually comes from a childhood Halloween photo where he reluctantly dressed up like a bunny, looking absolutely over it. And the rest, as they say, is history.
- He’s technically done the halftime thing before (shoutout Shakira + JLo in 2020), but this year? It’s *his* show. Benito is making history as the first solo Latino headliner, and it’s about time!
- Bad Bunny’s 2025 album ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ scored groundbreaking Grammy nominations, making him the first Spanish‑language artist ever nominated simultaneously for Album, Record, and Song of the Year at the 2026 Awards. If anyone’s riding into the Super Bowl with momentum, it’s him.
