As talks of the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show continue to make waves across media, singer Daddy Yankee was recently asked if he would consider joining Bad Bunny. His response? His mission is no longer the same as Bad Bunny’s.
Daddy Yankee became very public about giving his life to Jesus Christ and walking away from secular music. Bad Bunny, on the other hand, is known for using demonic imagery in his songs and performances. While Daddy Yankee was kind in his answer to ABC News, he has no plans on going back to the lifestyle that he left.

“No, not right now,” he said. “I’m on a different mission right now.”
Daddy Yankee said he wished Bad Bunny well on this upcoming performance and sees this as a major opportunity for the Spanish-speaking community. However, he believes there’s something even more important that will happen for Bad Bunny’s career.
“I think the biggest touchdown on his career will be when he accepts Jesus in his life. That’s going to be his biggest touchdown. 100%.”

Daddy Yankee’s story is a powerful reminder that true success isn’t measured by fame, fortune, or headline-making performances—it’s measured by the courage to follow God’s calling and live a life aligned with His purpose. At the same time, his words about Bad Bunny shine a light on the power of hope and prayer. He recognizes the immense talent and influence Bad Bunny holds, but points to something far greater than worldly applause: the transformative power of Jesus Christ. Pray that Bad Bunny would come to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, changing the direction not only of his music, but of his eternity.
