it’s so fucking insane how the president of our country can go on live tv with fake numbers, fake scenarios and lie to everyone. how is this allowed??????
Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back.
Not Bad Bunny.
Not Benito.
His real name.
His family name.
Then he grabbed the mic and said:
“My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.”
In Spanish.
No translation.
Even the jumbotron was in Spanish.
And I watched the whole thing with a translator on.
Because the message was that important to me.
They said he was “un-American.”
They said nobody would understand him.
They said having him perform was “ridiculous.”
And he SHOWED OUT!
He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
He staged a wedding on the field.
He recreated a bodega.
He gave us a whole scene of family and love.
He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage.
All in his native language.
And he didn’t flinch.
His lyrics were clear messages:
“They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.”
“I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.”
And that last line:
“Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.”
Hopefully my loved ones will never move.
That’s about families being separated.
Forced to leave.
Displacement.
Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream.
He made the mainstream come to him.
He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is.
And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽
Things so bad in the US I teared up when Bad Bunny literally just said the names of every country in the Americas lmao. I hate ICE I hate MAGA I hate borders I hate pedophiles I hate billionaires
Reading everyone’s letter.. has brought me to tears 😭 I can’t explain how amazing it is to see everyone’s point a view on Mannys and I relationship. ❤️ my heart is so full ❤️❤️
I think it’s absolutely bullshit. That I could be on hold for like 30 min to talk to someone… but the moment I need them to hold for me to look up something they can only wait two mins!!!
