J Balvin spoke about language concerns while discussing Bad Bunny’s upcoming halftime show. He explained that his own relationship with music developed long before he understood every lyric.
He added that fans should approach Bad Bunny’s performance in the same way, focusing more on the energy and vibes Bunny’s music brings.
“I learned and grew up listening to hip hop. I didn’t know what they were saying. I would just vibe with it. They just gotta jump on the flavor, that’s all they gotta do.”
With Bad Bunny set to become the first native Spanish speaker to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, Balvin framed the moment as a cultural milestone rather than a language test.

Asked what he wants to hear during the halftime show, Balvin replied, “All of them. That’s my man.”
