Bad Bunny experienced a slip during a performance in Mexico City, but his fans ensured the show went on.
During a concert on December 10, 2025, the Grammy-winning artist, age 31, was performing “Efecto” when he fell on stage.
Following the incident, Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, took a brief moment to regroup as fans continued the song with enthusiastic participation, sharing the experience through social media videos.

He recently discussed his unique performance plans, mentioning a decision to limit his U.S. appearances, citing concerns over immigration policies during previous tours.

Bad Bunny’s selection as the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner has sparked debate, particularly among conservative circles, as his repertoire primarily consists of songs in Spanish. He addressed some of the criticism on “Saturday Night Live” in October.
In a humorous take, he remarked, “I’m very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it — even Fox News,” noting the network’s light-hearted edits promoting him as “my favorite musician” and a potential presidential candidate.
“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,” he added, reinforcing his pride in representing Latinos and Latinas. “It’s more than a win for myself; it’s a win for all of us.”
He concluded with a light-hearted challenge to audiences to learn Spanish before his performance, saying, “If you didn’t understand what I just said. You have four months to learn.”
