Nearly a week after Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr.’s unexpected appearance in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show, the moment continues to generate buzz on social media.
In recent comments to the media, the Venezuelan baseball player revealed that the experience was unforgettable and that he accepted the opportunity “without thinking twice.”
An Unexpected Call on Super Bowl Day
Ronald Acuña Jr. Confessed that he wasn’t originally scheduled to be part of the halftime show until just hours before the event. He explained that he received the call on the day of the event to appear in Bad Bunny’s famous ‘casita.’
“They called me and told me, ‘You’re going to the Super Bowl with Bad Bunny during halftime.’ I was so excited,” Acuña said, adding that although it wasn’t his initial plan, the invitation was something he didn’t hesitate to accept.
This last-minute call came as a surprise even to the player himself, who suddenly found himself participating in one of the most talked-about moments of the world’s most-watched television event.
The “Casita” That Stole the Show
Bad Bunny’s ‘Casita’ wasn’t just a set piece; it became one of the most iconic locations of the performance.
The structure, a recurring element in the artist’s shows, is a tribute to Puerto Rican roots and Latin culture, blending music, identity, and symbolism.
During the performance, the reggaeton star invited figures from various fields—artists and international celebrities alike—to join him on stage, transforming the setting into a true celebration of Caribbean culture.
Acuña appeared alongside artists like Young Miko and Pedro Pascal, and while his participation was brief, it was enough to become a viral moment from the halftime show. The cameo highlights the growing trend of athletes crossing over into entertainment and cultural events.
The connection between Ronald and Bad Bunny goes beyond this appearance. The Venezuelan player has previously been represented by the marketing agency Rimas Sports, which is linked to the Puerto Rican artist, partially explaining the connection that made this unique moment possible.
