Bad Bunny's Instagram Vanishes After Polarizing Super Bowl Performance

SANTA CLARA: Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny stunned fans by wiping his entire Instagram account clean hours after his historic all-Spanish Super Bowl LX halftime show Sunday night, leaving followers staring at an empty profile reading "0 posts".​

The dramatic social media blackout follows intense mixed reactions to his performance at Levi's Stadium, where he became the first artist to perform a halftime show predominantly in Spanish alongside guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. President Trump immediately slammed the show as "one of the worst, EVER," calling it "an affront to the Greatness of America" and complaining "nobody understands a word this guy is saying".

Bad Bunny's Instagram wipe, including his profile picture, left no explanation, though the artist has a history of using social media blackouts to signal major announcements. Whether the deletion represents a response to criticism, a strategic reset, or an upcoming project launch remains unclear as the controversy continues to dominate post-Super Bowl headlines.
