Just hours ago, Bad Bunny headlined the legendary Super Bowl halftime slot with a performance that has been lauded and applauded across the globe. Bad Bunny
The rapper made history by becoming the first Super Bowl halftime show headliner to perform entirely in Spanish, while he also became the first to host a wedding during the performance.
Bad Bunny used his opportunity to talk of love.
Walking towards the camera, the rapper said: "God Bless America" before naming all of the countries in the Americas: "Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil" as well as the US and Canada.
He then showed a sign which read: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."
Another key talking point of Bad Bunny's performance was the football he was holding for much of the show, with some even joking that he'd had more time on the ball than the Patriots.
Taking to X, one person asked: "Can anyone can tell me what was clearly written on the ball that Bad Bunny held up?? Because I know it was political as heck."
Others asked, others queried.
And now the question has been answered.

The message on the ball said: "Together We Are America."
While most enjoyed the show, and its message, US President Donald Trump did not approve and shared a scathing message about the performance online.
Trump wrote: "The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.
"This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!
"There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD.
"And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
Many, however, did find it amusing that Donald Trump tuned in to see Bad Bunny's performance, as opposed to Kid Rock's performance on the Turning Point USA show.
