Bad Bunny had a lot to celebrate this weekend. Just hours before the world learned he’ll headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, he was spotted enjoying the night at his own Miami restaurant.

The rapper expressed that his performance is a tribute to those who paved the way for him and his culture. The announcement was made during the Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers game, following a teaser video on social media. The show will be executive-produced by Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins, with Bad Bunny bringing Puerto Rico to the world’s biggest stage. Jay-Z, founder of Roc Nation, praised Bad Bunny for his inspiring work for Puerto Rico. 

“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny said in a statement released by the NFL. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”

On Friday, Gekkō, the Brickell steakhouse he co-owns with nightlife mogul David Grutman, turned into the place to be.

Bunny lit up the room as he walked through. He smiled, chatted with fans, and posed for selfies. At one point, nearly everyone jumped out of their seats just to see him. The dinner crowd suddenly felt more like a concert.

Most stars might’ve stayed low-key before such a big announcement. Not him, the reggaetón icon embraced the moment, showing he thrives in the spotlight. For the lucky diners there, it felt like a private preview of the energy he’ll bring to the world’s biggest stage.
