Bad Bunny Deletes All His Instagram Posts After Historic Super Bowl Halftime Performance

The dust has barely settled on the turf of Levi’s Stadium, but the conversation surrounding Super Bowl LX has shifted from the scoreboard to the digital footprint of its halftime headliner. Just hours after delivering a high-energy, historic performance on Sunday, Feb. 8, Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) shocked fans by completely wiping his Instagram grid. The 31-year-old superstar removed all posts, deleted his profile picture, and unfollowed every account, leaving only a link to his album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, in his bio.

The Apple Music Halftime Show was a massive celebration of Latin culture, featuring an elite roster of guests including Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, and Pedro Pascal. Bad Bunny utilized the global platform

to emphasize unity across the Americas, prominently displaying various national flags. The set even featured a real-time wedding on the field, a move later confirmed by sources as a genuine ceremony for an anonymous couple.

However, the performance was not without its share of social media confusion. Viewers briefly speculated that a child actor in the show was Liam Ramos, a 5-year-old who recently went viral after being detained by ICE. While it was later clarified that the child was actually actor Lincoln Fox, the imagery reignited intense discussions regarding immigration and the artist’s previous “ICE out” stances.

Despite the spectacle, the performance drew sharp criticism from political circles. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to lambast the show, calling it “absolutely terrible” and an “affront to the Greatness of America.”

In his scathing review, Trump wrote, “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 further characterized the performance as a “slap in the face” to the country and complained that it failed to represent American standards of excellence.

Bad Bunny has not yet addressed the criticism or explained his social media blackout. While some fans fear the “blackout” is a reaction to the backlash, others point to the artist’s history of using social media wipes to signal the start of a new creative era or a major tour announcement. For now, the world’s most-streamed artist is letting his silence on Instagram speak for itself.
