Anuel AA and DJ Khaled spoke at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Week to explore the deep connection between Hip-Hop and Latin music. The conversation held Monday afternoon (Oct. 20) and moderated by Sirius XM’s Bryan Pino, offered insight into the cultural crossover shaping global sounds.
During the discussion, both artists reacted to the news that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. “For me it’s legendary,” Anuel said. “I see a lot of shit happening, but it shouldn’t matter if it’s going to be in Spanish or English. We loved Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, right? Nobody said anything. This is history, and it’s a super blessing for a Spanish-speaking artist. I think it’s going to be legendary.”
Khaled, who recently welcomed Bad Bunny as a special guest during his hometown residency, echoed the sentiment. “It’s a super choice, well deserved, and one of the best halftime show picks in a long time. I love seeing him getting bigger and bigger, and if he recreates what he did in Puerto Rico, it’s going to be epic.”
Bad Bunny will be recognized as the Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, honoring his groundbreaking influence and unmatched chart success. The ceremony will air live on October 23 from Miami on Telemundo. With four consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 and a record-breaking residency in Puerto Rico, the Super LX halftime performer continues to redefine the global reach of Latin music.
Bad Bunny has stormed the US Daily Top Music Videos chart after the announcement that he will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show.

Bad Bunny has officially broken his silence following the announcement that he will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Calling into Apple Music’s Halftime Headliner Special with Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden, the chart-topping artist shared the emotions behind one of the biggest moments of his career.
“It was I was keeping this secret for so long and it felt good. It felt good,” Bad Bunny said. “It was the first time that I showed the video to one of my friends and I saw his reaction and he was so excited. As I said, I’m really excited but this is making me feel so happy, because more than me for everyone else.”
Bad Bunny explained that his excitement extends far beyond personal achievement. “I’m really excited for my friends, my family. Puerto Rico, all the Latino people around the world. I’m excited about my culture. I’m excited about everything, not just for me. You know what I’m saying. It feels really good. The beach where we record is my hometown beach. So it’s a very special thing for us.”
The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show is set to be one of the most anticipated performances in recent memory, marking a milestone for Latin music and global representation on one of the world’s largest stages.
