Bad Bunny to Headline Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show
Puerto Rican megastar Bad Bunny has officially been announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl LX halftime show. It will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This announcement was made during an NFL game on Sunday night.
Speaking on the news, Bad Bunny dedicated the moment to his roots. He says it was for his people, his culture, and the history that shaped him.
The halftime show is being put together by DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins as executive producers. Hamish Hamilton will direct, and ensure the spectacle matches the high expectations that come with one of the world’s biggest annual broadcasts. Last year’s halftime show, led by Kendrick Lamar, drew record numbers, so the bar has been set incredibly high.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has built a career that blends reggaeton, Latin trap, and global pop influences. He’s not only a multi-Grammy winner but also one of the most streamed artists on the planet. His recent album Debí Tirar Más Fotos has dominated charts, and his 30-show residency in Puerto Rico earlier this year pulled in massive crowds.
Interestingly, Bad Bunny has chosen not to tour the U.S. in 2025. He cited concerns over immigration enforcement that could affect his fans. This is one of the few chances American audiences will get to see him live on stage.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
