The meltdowns over Bad Bunny are glorious

[xmas74]

Since Bad Bunny was announced for the Super Bowl hal time show the MAGAts have been in full meltdown, even tagging ICE in posts about him. They flunked fourth grade social studies and do not understand that Puerto Ricans are citizens too.

It's glorious to watch the stupidity.

1. I guess they need to grow up and get over it

Or not…

[xmas74]

4. They won't

He's a great choice to draw in Spanish speaking fans, especially with the emphasis on South American games.
Bad Bunny is currently the 12th most streamed artist on Spotify and he's hosting SNL.

8. He may be 12th this last week but that number significantly undersells his career popularity

As of September 2025, the top 10 most streamed artists of all time on Spotify (by total career streams) are:

Taylor Swift – ~110.7 billion streams
Drake – ~109 billion streams
Bad Bunny – ~100 billion streams
The Weeknd – ~85 billion streams
Justin Bieber – ~68 billion streams
Ed Sheeran – ~63 billion streams
Ariana Grande – ~61 billion streams
Eminem – ~58 billion streams
BTS – ~55 billion streams (widely cited; some variation sources)
Post Malone – ~54 billion streams (widely cited; some variation sources)

And remember Taylor has been a huge star since before Spotify was even a thing. Drake's first album was 2010. The Weeknd's was 2012.

Bad Bunny's first album was late 2018.

If you average for 'years active' Bad Bunny is the #1 artist on Spotify by a considerable margin.

20. Bad Bunny was Spotify's most-streamed artist globally for three consecutive years, from 2020 to 2022

Consecutive #1s: He was the first artist ever to claim the top spot on Spotify's global streaming list for three years in a row (2020, 2021, and 2022). He was #2 in 2023 (behind Taylor Swift) and #3 in 2024 (behind Tayor Swift & The Weeknd)

Album Success: His album Un Verano Sin Ti was the most-streamed global album on Spotify in 2022 and 2023.

As of January 2025, the musician has had 113 songs enter the Billboard Hot 100, including the number-one hit "I Like It" (with Cardi B and J Balvin), and the top-five singles "Mia" (featuring Drake) and "Dakiti" (featuring Jhay Cortez).

He has released 4 albums in the past 5 years with all 4 reaching #1 on the US Billboard 200. El Último Tour Del Mundo in 2021 became the first all-Spanish-language album to reach number one on the US Billboard 200. His most recent album Debí Tirar Más Fotos (released in January) reached #1 on Apple Music in over 60 different countries.

2. MAGAts are always having a mad about something.

Most of it is stupid. As are most of them.

[xmas74]

6. Yep nt

[BigMin28]

7. They are so easily

triggered.

[ZDU]

14. MAGA Mad At Generally Anything

Snowflake woo woos

[eShirl]

3. remind them that Bad Bunny is also hosting this weekend's Saturday Night Live Season Premiere

[xmas74]

5. I hope he gets Pedro Pascal to come back

They were so fun together on SNL.

[tanyev]

9. Good bet most ICE agents don't care that Puerto Ricans are citizens, either.

But Bad Bunny certainly has the resources to hire some kick-ass lawyers should anything happen.

[SamKnause]

10. If they are not pissed about something they are not happy.

They love to play the persecuted.

They love being miserable.

[Ping Tung]

11. Wait for it. "It's NOT about Race!!".

Just like claiming Haitians eat pets isn't about race. Or "Welfare Queens" isn't about race.

[BaronChocula]

18. Ya know, it's only about race

when "legacy Americans" are offended (I learned that white nationalist term from Fox News and Tucker Carlson).

[Paladin]

12. Loving every single whine, piss, and moan. (nt)

[Takket]

13. It just goes to show what miserable hate filled monsters MAGA are

They finally have the America of their dreams. They control the entire government. Drumpf’s enemies are being charged with crimes. Immigrants are being tortured and shipped off to whatever country they find the most hilarious.

Minorities and women are being purged from the government.

And they are STILL not happy.

[Buddyzbuddy]

15. They're doomed, their MAGA (REPUBLICAN) President thinks the same thing.

The President of the USA!

Such an embarrassment.

[malaise]

16. He's from Puerto Rico

Damn these morons are dumb

[IronLionZion]

17. MAGA doesn't like American citizens who speak Spanish

Do they think he's stealing jobs from Kid Rock or whoever they want instead?

MAGAts should try reading books instead of banning them.

[BaronChocula]

19. After Kendrick Lamar...

this should totally make their heads explode. I would love to see that, literally. It would be like the purge, only we'd have to deal with the rotting corpses. Hmmmm.

But seriously, it's like the NFL is trolling those people. I could foresee an attempt to scuttle the booking which could work on the one hand given the NFL's corporate weak backbone, but on the other hand would make magaville look so stupid and petty that it would backfire on them.

[xmas74]

22. I love the thought of it trolling

But I honestly think it's really about reaching out to the Central and South American audiences they're attempting to build. It's not different than a recent article about how London wants to make major offers for more games and even a Super Bowl.

Bad Bunny is a smart move to appeal to international audiences.

[BaronChocula]

23. I hear you

Sometimes I get taken too seriously from a congenital issue where my tongue is embedded in my cheek.

I'm a contractor for a cable provider and recall having to get up early a few times a few years ago to route feeds and data for early morning NFL games from London. I'm also congenitally NOT a morning person.

21. "citizens too" (Puerto Rican) - and the location - Santa Clara, San Jose - 25-33% Hispanic - cue ICE
