Description:

If you’ve taken a passing glimpse at news over the past week, you would have come across the name Bad Bunny.

The Puerto Rican musician recently won three Grammy awards and just performed on the biggest stage in the world as headline act for the NFL Super Bowl’s half-time show, which usually attracts more than 100 million viewers every year.

The 29-year-old’s selection and performance have not been without controversy.

Today, culture editor-at-large Michael Idato examines why Bad Bunny has become a focal point for the Trump administration and the anti-ICE immigration movement, and how he might impact US politics.
