Stephen A. Smith sided with President Trump over Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish halftime performance for the Super Bowl.During the latest episode of his eponymous SiriusXM show, Smith said that the president made a "legitimate point" about the six-time Grammy winner's performance."If most people don't understand the lyrics because you're speaking it in what they deem to be a foreign language, that is a legitimate point that the president made. That part. There’s millions upon millions of Americans that would have wanted to hear something in English other than Lady Gaga. That is true. And me, personally… it also would have been nice if some of the songs were in English.”The ESPN personality continued,“The president is speaking on behalf… of tens of millions of Americans who are like, ‘I didn’t understand a word he was saying because I don’t know Spanish.’ That is a valid point.”President Trump leaves a scathing remark against Bad Bunny on Truth Social: Read moreDuring the podcast, Stephen A. Smith said,“Let me get to something that may be deemed controversial. It’s not to me, personally, and that was the Super Bowl halftime show by Bad Bunny, which was primarily sung entirely in Spanish. We saw Lady Gaga perform, obviously in English. We saw them dancing, I got to admit, the vibe was fly.”He continued,“… I love how the President of the United States was acting like he wasn’t going to watch, but he was watching… and by the way, while he was watching it, he naturally took time to insult it in the aftermath.”Bad Bunny, legally known as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was named Spotify's most-streamed artist of 2025. On February 8, the Puerto Rican star took to the stage for Super Bowl LX as he performed during the halftime between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. He performed a string of his biggest hits, including Debí Tirar Más Fotos and Tití Me Preguntó.Trump called Bad Bunny's performance "absolutely terrible," claiming there was "nothing inspirational" about choosing a star who didn't perform the show in English."Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World', he said on Truth Social. "It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence."Bad Bunny was joined on stage by several other A-list celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, Ricky Martin, Jessica Alba, Karol G, and Cardi B. At one point, the star, who famously decried ICE, listed all the countries across North and South America while holding a football embossed with the words:"Together, we are America.' A message on the big screen then read: 'The only thing more powerful than hate is love."Trump, however, called the performance 'an affront to the Greatness of America'.He wrote: 'This "Show" is just a "slap in the face" to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! here is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven't got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD'.He continued,"And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule.
