Ken Caseyvocalist of Dropkick Murphyscame out in defense of the participation of Bad Bunny node Super Bowlthe end of NFL – main American football league United States.
The Puerto Rican rapper was scheduled to perform at halftime of the game, scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadiumin Santa Clarain California.
Ken Casey’s support came shortly after President donald trump have criticized the NFL’s choice. The American president claimed to have never “heard of” Bad Bunny and said he “doesn’t know who” the artist is.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noemsaid that the agents of the Immigration and Customs (ICE) would be “all over” the 2026 Super Bowl and criticized the NFL’s decision to hire the Puerto Rican star as the halftime headliner.
Ken Casey, in turn, admitted that he had never heard a Bad Bunny song until this year, but that changed after the rapper’s participation in the film The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 2starring Adam Sandler.
In an interview with Rolling Stone USAthe punk icon defended the star’s participation in the Super Bowl and stated:
“I had never heard Bad Bunny’s music, but after his performance in Happy Gilmore 2 (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 2in Brazil) I will go all the way for this guy. God bless you. He is a true American.”
He added:
“The government just wants to control everything, every narrative. There are much bigger problems in the world than who’s in the Super Bowl halftime show.”
Ken Casey charges other punk artists
According to the frontman of Dropkick Murphysmore bands and artists linked to punk should publicly speak out against some of the authoritarian attitudes of the Trump administration, including immigration policy.
“I don’t think, by any means, that punk should be uniformly one thing. But the punk I was raised to listen to should be speaking out against government abuses.”
He also warned about labor rights in the US:
“Obviously, something we hold dear to our hearts is workers’ rights. At every level, Trump will turn his back on working people in favor of the elite and the rich. … So, in the name of punk rock, in the name of ordinary people, in the name of America as a whole, we feel it is our duty to speak out.”
