Suddenly his Instagram profile is empty: Music star Bad Bunny actually regularly provided content to his over 50 million followers on Instagram. But anyone who looks at his account now will be disappointed: he has suddenly deleted all the amounts, his profile picture has also been removed and he no longer follows any users. On his profile there is only a link to his website.
The radical step comes shortly after his much-discussed appearance at the Super Bowl. During the halftime show, the 31-year-old musician, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, made several political statements and sang almost exclusively in Spanish – which provoked sharp criticism from Donald Trump.
Fans speculate about reasons
The US President raged about the performance of the popular music star on the Truth Social platform. The halftime show was “totally terrible.” “No one understands a word this guy is saying and the dances are disgusting, especially to little children watching all over the US and around the world. This ‘show’ is simply a ‘slap in the face’ to our country, which sets new standards and records every day,” said Donald Trump. Bad Bunny had already expressed criticism of Trump’s policies in advance – behavior that can quickly catapult a person onto Trump’s personal enemies list.
Bad Bunny’s sudden deletion is causing speculation on social networks. What does this step mean? Maybe a big announcement is imminent, fans speculate. Bad Bunny may soon release his next album. Or is it a reaction to the controversy he sparked with his Super Bowl performance? So far we can only speculate about the reasons.
It’s not the first time that Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has withdrawn from Instagram. In early 2023, he temporarily switched his profile to private after announcing he was taking a break from the public eye. It wasn’t until shortly before his appearance at the Coachella Festival in April of that year that he said he wanted to share a lot.
