Global music star Bad Bunny is riding a wave of success after a standout night at the Grammy Awards. As he prepares for another high-profile appearance, his 2020 political diss track aimed at Donald Trump has surged back into public discussion.
The Puerto Rican rapper and singer will perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 8. The announcement drew criticism from Trump, who previously dismissed the artist in a media interview.
“I never heard of him. I don’t know who he is,” Trump told Newsmax host Greg Kelly in October, questioning the decision to feature Bad Bunny.
Following renewed right-wing backlash, fans have revisited Bad Bunny’s 2020 track Compositor Del Año, hoping he may include it in his Super Bowl set.

— Pop Base (@PopBase) July 4, 2025The Spanish-language song, released near the end of Trump’s first term, directly criticises political leadership and social injustice in the United States. Its lyrics reference racism, police violence, and social unrest, themes many listeners say remain relevant today.
Online discussions have highlighted the song’s continued resonance, with supporters urging Bad Bunny to make a statement during one of the world’s most-watched live broadcasts.
Bad Bunny’s renewed spotlight follows major wins at the Grammys last Sunday, including Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. While accepting the award, the 31-year-old artist delivered a pointed message on immigration and identity.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out,” he said. “We are not savage. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.”
As anticipation builds for the Super Bowl, attention remains fixed on whether Bad Bunny will blend music and political commentary once again. Whether or not the song appears in his setlist, the renewed attention underscores his influence beyond music and his ability to spark national conversation.
