In a shocking twist to the Super Bowl halftime drama, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has publicly come forward in full support of Bad Bunny’s highly controversial upcoming performance.
While some NFL stars, including Derrick Henry, have reportedly voiced outrage over the league’s decision to give the stage to the Puerto Rican superstar, Jones took the opposite stance — and his words are already shaking up the internet.
“He’s going to be more than just entertainment,” Jones told reporters during a surprise interview. “Bad Bunny is going to be a symbol — showing people that strength isn’t just physical, but about being true to yourself, no matter who you are. That’s what the Super Bowl should stand for.”
The quarterback’s comments quickly went viral, with fans flooding social media in heated debates. Some hailed him as brave for speaking up, while others accused him of “pandering for clout.”
But insiders close to Jones say this wasn’t just a PR move. “Mac has always admired Bad Bunny’s energy and authenticity,” a source told TMZ-style reporters. “He sees him as someone who can inspire not just NFL fans, but people everywhere to live honestly and unapologetically.”
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny himself has stayed relatively quiet amid the storm. However, leaks from his camp suggest he is “deeply touched” by the show of support and may even consider a subtle nod to Jones during the performance.
The NFL, as usual, has declined to comment, but the Super Bowl halftime show is now generating more headlines than the game itself. With players allegedly circulating petitions against Bad Bunny’s set — and others like Jones openly praising him — the stage is set for one of the most polarizing halftime shows in history.
Whether fans love it or hate it, one thing is certain: Mac Jones just made the Super Bowl story even bigger.
