Patrick Mahomes Reportedly “Disappointed” in NFL Over Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Announcement
“We’re supposed to represent America’s game. This ain’t it.”
In a stunning turn of events that’s adding unexpected off-field drama to the NFL season, insiders claim Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not happy with the league’s choice for the Super Bowl LX halftime show — none other than Latin music superstar Bad Bunny.
The decision, announced jointly by the NFL, Roc Nation, and Apple Music, confirmed that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco. But according to sources close to Mahomes, the face of the league wasn’t consulted — and he’s not thrilled.
“He feels blindsided,” one source revealed. “He’s not mad at Bad Bunny personally, but he thinks the halftime show should reflect the sport, the fans, and the culture of the game. And this… didn’t land right.”
“Where’s the Football Culture?”
Patrick, who has led the Chiefs to multiple Super Bowl appearances and is often called the “new Brady,” reportedly believes that the league is drifting too far into pop culture at the cost of its roots.
“He’s old-school about this stuff,” a team insider shared. “He grew up watching Bruno, Beyoncé, Prince. He respects big entertainers. But he thinks this pick was made for media buzz, not for football fans.”
In closed-door conversations, Mahomes allegedly told teammates and staff that the Super Bowl halftime show should cater more to the sport’s core demographic — not just global streaming charts.
“He literally said, ‘I get it — he’s popular. But how many of our fans are going to be vibing in the stadium to reggaetón when we’re trying to win a championship?’”
Mahomes Hinted at It Publicly?
While Mahomes has yet to speak directly about the announcement, fans are reading into a cryptic post he shared the day after the news broke:
🧵 “Not everything that trends is timeless.”
— @PatrickMahomes, X
The post racked up over 1.2 million views within hours, sparking debate online. Some took it as a subtweet aimed at Bad Bunny’s selection, while others argued Mahomes was simply referring to viral trends in general.
But the timing? Suspicious.
“He Just Wants the Show to Match the Moment.”
Those close to Mahomes say his frustration isn’t about Bad Bunny’s language, genre, or background — it’s about the moment.
“He’s a competitor,” one friend said. “He’s probably going to be in that Super Bowl. And he wants the halftime show to match the energy of the game. He’s not feeling this one, and he’s not pretending otherwise.”
NFL Hasn’t Responded — Yet
Neither the NFL nor Roc Nation has commented on Mahomes’ alleged discontent. Bad Bunny’s team, meanwhile, appears to be staying silent — possibly taking the high road, or maybe preparing a subtle clapback.
In the meantime, the internet is doing what it does best:
Team Mahomes fans are backing him:
“He’s not wrong. This is football, not the VMAs.”
Bad Bunny fans are clapping back:
“He sold out arenas worldwide. He’s already bigger than the halftime show.”
And some are just stirring the pot:
“Mahomes better hope he’s even in that Super Bowl before he critiques the concert.”
With months to go until Super Bowl LX, one thing is clear: the halftime show already has more drama than kickoff.
Let me know if you want to add a fake quote, mock Instagram Story, or a Mahomes “press conference moment” — we can keep building this fictional universe out.
