Former Donald Trump campaign director Corey Lewandowski appeared in Benny Johnson’s web interviews “The Benny Show” and warned that ICE agents will be present at the Super Bowl 2026, where Bad Bunny should perform the half-time show.
In particular, the show at halftime, presented by Apple Music, is the only American concert appearance of Bad Bunny which takes place for 2026 at that time, because its world tour of Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which should take place from December to 2026, does not stop in the United States. Bad Bunny told ID magazine last month that her fear of ice raids was partly to the reason for tour in the United States
When Johnson asked Lewandowski if “ice will have an application at the Super Bowl” where Bad Bunny occurs, Trump’s advisor replied: “There is nowhere else. We will find you and appreciate you in this country and do not put you in a detention installation and that you have used.
Lewandowski has long been in Trump’s inner circle, working first as a campaign director in 2016. He returned to the president’s campaign in 2024. Since the election of Trump, he aligned himself with the Ministry of Home Security and Secretary Kristi Noem, as an advisor to the DHS as a special government employee in the department.
“It’s so shameful that they decided to choose someone who seems to hate America so much to represent them at the half-time show,” said Lewandowski about Bad Bunny. “We should try to be inclusive, not exclusive. There are many large groups and entertainment that could play this show that would bring people together and do not separate them. ”
He concluded: “If there are illegal foreigners, I don’t care whether it is a concert for Johnny Smith or Bad Bunny or someone else. … We will apply everywhere. We are going to make the Americans safe. It is a directive of the president. If you are in this country illegally, go home. ”
Addressing ID last month, Bad Bunny explained that part of the reason he had made his residence in Puerto Rico and will continue to go around the world without stopping in the United States is because “the fucking ice could be outside [my concert]. And it is something we were talking about and very concerned. »»
“There were several reasons why I did not show up in the United States, and none of them was on hatred-I played it several times,” he added. “All [the shows] succeeded. All were magnificent. I liked to connect with the Latinos who live in the United States, but in particular, for a residence here in Puerto Rico, when we are a territory not formed in the Société in the United States … The people of the United States could come here to see the show. »»
Variety contacted Apple Music and representatives for Bad Bunny to comment.
