During Super Bowl LX’s Halftime Show, Bad Bunny brought the house down with his performance, bringing out Lady Gaga and fellow Puerto Rican music icon Ricky Martin. He even brought out several celebrities from all over the Americas, including Cardi B., Alix Earle, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, and more.
Bad Bunny, whose net worth is around $100 million, is considered one of the most popular artists in the world, with a global reach. His performance had many symbolisms, with his outfit during the entire show also having a lot of meaning.
Since this was the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny wore an all-white outfit that featured him wearing an all-white jersey with the No. 64, and football shoulder pads underneath. As it turns out, even that number has its own meaning.
There were plenty of theories what that jersey number actually meant, from it being a reference to his mother’s birth year in 1964 to it being a tribute to his 2020 album “El Último Tour del Mundo,” which was the first Spanish-language project to become the top project in the all-genre Billboard 200 chart in 64 years.
However, it was Benito himself that revealed why he wore that jersey number to the Super Bowl, and it was a tribute to his uncle named Cutito. His uncle was born in 1964 and came to the mainland United States when he was 17. The reggaeton star revealed that it was his uncle who taught him “much of what he knows about the NFL.”
“I always dreamed of taking my uncle to a Super Bowl, and I couldn’t. He left unexpectedly, without warning. So during my Super Bowl halftime show, I decided to have him on my shirt,” Bad Bunny said. “I dedicated my performance to him before it began. I’m sure he saw it, he was present, and he felt proud of his nephew.”
