Latin pop singer Bad Bunny surprised his over 50 million followers by deleting every single one of his Instagram posts hours after his controversial Super Bowl performance Sunday night.
The 31-year-old singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also deleted his Instagram profile picture and unfollowed everyone, leaving only his follower count intact.
This move followed the Latin trap artist’s Super Bowl LX halftime show, which received mixed reactions.

Fox News Digital reached out to Bad Bunny’s team for comment.
Bad Bunny’s performance received widespread condemnation from prominent conservatives, including President Donald Trump.

Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday night.

Top Democratic leaders, by contrast, praised the performance, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who declared Sunday “Bad Bunny Day” prior to the game.

Bad Bunny had previously deleted his Instagram posts in 2022 after joining TikTok.
