Singer Chris Brown once said he would “never” perform during the Super Bowl Halftime. But he had a change of heart while watching Puerto Rican pop star Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish halftime show on Sunday.
Millions of viewers tuned in to watch Benito’s cultural extravaganza, featuring fellow Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin and New Yorker Lady Gaga perform.
Rapper Cardi B and actress Jessica Alba were also spotted among the crowd of dancers on the field.

Chris Brown’s reaction to the halftime show drew a huge response across all social media platforms.
One person wrote on TGJ: “Chris ain’t lying. He would have been waaaaaaaaaay better. Breezy did what he did to Rihanna in the summer of 536 B.C. but society, really the whites, still won’t let it go.”
Another person wrote: “The show wasn’t relatable to the majority of the sport viewing population. It wasn’t good at all! Shakira and JLO were able to mix things well and unfortunately bad bunny fell flat. Chris Brown definitely would’ve put on a show.”
A third person commented: “In 50 years people will remember Bad Bunny for sweeping the Grammys and standing up against Trump… and will remember Chris Brown for being the stain of USA sweeping violence against Black women under the rug not the music.”
