Megyn Kelly isn’t holding back when it comes to this year’s Super Bowl halftime headliner.
On Tuesday, September 30, the political commentator shared her frustration that Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny has been tapped for the 2026 performance.
“It’s a middle finger to MAGA and conservatives in this country,” Kelly ranted.
She went further, slamming the singer’s decision not to tour the country.
“He hates the United States so much he won’t come here, because he’s worried about ICE raiding his concert,” the journalist vented.

Megyn Kelly is angry about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl.
The podcast host even mocked the NFL’s next potential choice.
“I mean, who are we going to have next year? P. Diddy? I look forward to Sean "Diddy" Combs and his comeback tour,” she joked, referring to the rapper, who is currently behind bars.
Bunny, however, has been upfront about why he has stayed away from American stages. Earlier in September, he told i-D magazine that immigration raids factored into his decision.
“Man, honestly, yes,” he admitted. “There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate — I’ve performed there many times. All of (the shows) have been successful. All of them have been magnificent. I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the U.S.”

Bad Bunny explained he avoided the U.S. because of ICE raids.
He claimed that hosting his residency in Puerto Rico was just as powerful.
“When we are an unincorporated territory of the U.S., people from the U.S. could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. But there was the issue of — like, f------ ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” the 31-year-old rapper explained.

The rapper said performing in Puerto Rico connects him to his culture.
For Bunny, performing on the island carries deep cultural meaning.
“It feels a bit like… How do I say this? Innocence. An eternal innocence,” he described. “It has the joy and the party vibe of Un Verano Sin Ti, but this time the Puerto Rican-ness is more present than ever.”
He continued, “The pride, the sense of homeland that unites generations. It’s always been something you see in my concerts, but in this concert, it is much more marked. There are kids who are 17, 18 — but also those who are 20, 30, 40, 60, there are elderly people. You see people dancing, laughing, singing.”
His comments come as immigration crackdowns have escalated under Donald Trump’s return to office. In June, protests erupted nationwide after ICE raids hit Latino neighborhoods and workplaces.
Trump boasted on Truth Social that he had ordered “the single largest mass deportation programme in history,” calling on agencies to target major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Donald Trump promised to block 'anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States' from entering the country.
“I’ve directed the entire administration to put every resource possible behind this effort,” he wrote. He also promised to block “anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States” from entering the country.
Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of the progressive group Indivisible Project, pushed back against Trump’s policies.
“In a moment like this, where this is an active effort by the president and his regime to chill dissent and to create costs for anybody who speaks out, it’s absolutely crucial that you have collective action,” she said.
