Bad Bunny bounced right back up — eventually.
The singer, 31, was dancing to his hit song “Efecto” during his concert in Mexico City on Wednesday night when he took a tumble.
Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, stayed seated on the stage after falling as the crowd continued to sing-along.
As seen in social media videos, the audience sang the lyrics to his tune until he stood up.
Bunny eventually got to his feet and continued singing. He also asked the crowd for their help.
The “Tití Me Preguntó” artist is currently on his DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour, with shows in Mexico City throughout December. In 2026, Bunny will continue touring in Latin America, Europe, and Australia.
In September, Bunny revealed that he did not include any concerts in the United States due to the fear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “could be outside” his concerts.
“Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel [to Puerto Rico], or to any part of the world,” the Grammy winner told I-D at the time. “There was the issue of, like, f–king ICE could be outside. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”
“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the US, and none of them were out of hate – I’ve performed there many times,” he noted.
“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 US. But specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an unincorporated territory of the US…People from the US could come here to see the show.”
However, Bunny will make a quick pit stop to San Francisco as the 2026 headliner for the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on Feb. 8.
The NFL announced the news in September during a Packers-Cowboys “Sunday Night Football” game.
Bunny, who is the most-streamed artist in the world, shared a statement shortly after the game.
“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” he began. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history.”
Bunny also took to Instagram to post his own video. The Puerto Rican superstar uploaded a clip of himself wearing a straw hat while sitting on a goal post at the beach, set to his song “Callaita.”
“Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026. #AppleMusicHalftime,” Bunny captioned his post.
The musician also wrote on X: “I’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States.”
Bunny is no stranger to a Super Bowl performance. He took the stage as a special guest for Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s halftime show at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami during Super Bowl 2020.
There was immediate backlash over Bunny’s upcoming performance.
In October, a petition to replace the rapper with the “King of Country” George Strait garnered thousands of signatures.
The petition asked for the country star, 73, in order to “pay tribute to American music’s rich heritage.”
“The Super Bowl halftime show should unite our country, honor American culture, and remain family-friendly, not be turned into a political stunt. Bad Bunny represents none of these values; his drag performances and style are the opposite of what families expect on football’s biggest stage,” the petition read.
“Again, George Strait embodies unity, tradition, and the timeless American music that truly deserves the 2026 Super Bowl spotlight.”
Other petitions that received anywhere from 1,000 to 11,000 signatures insisted that Bunny be removed but did not suggest alternative performers.
Turning Point USA previously announced that it will be holding its own halftime show but have not released their set of performers.
In October, Bunny addressed the controversy while appearing on “Saturday Night Live.”
“I’m very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it — even Fox News,” he joked as footage from Fox was clipped together to say: “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.”
“But really, I’m very excited to be doing the Super Bowl, and I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy,” Bunny continued.
He added in Spanish: “Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors. It’s more than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it.”
Concluding his opening monologue, Bunny added: “If you didn’t understand what I just said. You have four months to learn.”
