During a Monday interview, Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly asked the president if his MAGA supporters should boycott the Super Bowl and "Bad Bunny rabbit or whatever" because the musician "hates ICE" and "doesn't like you."

"I never heard of him," Trump claimed. "I don't know who he is, I don't know why they're doing it – it's, like, crazy.

"They blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment," he added. "I think it's absolutely ridiculous."

Since his re-election, Trump has waged an aggressive immigration agenda that has resulted in the deportation of thousands of undocumented individuals, the vast majority of whom come from South American and Spanish-speaking countries.

Bad Bunny, an American artist from Puerto Rico, is one of the most successful musicians today, but the NFL's decision has been met with backlash from Trump's allies and supporters, as the majority of his music is performed in Spanish.

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called the artist "perverse" and "demonic," and called on Congress to pass a bill to make English the official language of the US.

Officials with the Department of Homeland Security have also warned that they could conduct immigration raids at the event as part of their purported effort "to make Americans safe."
