The Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny has sparked considerable debate on social media and among fans, but it also elicited severe reactions from the entertainment world in Mexico. A prominent critique came from actor and comedian Memo Ríos, who published a lengthy statement that openly questioned the Puerto Rican singer's artistic talent. Ríos made his stance clear from the outset, branding Bad Bunny as someone who, in his opinion, lacks musical qualities and merely acts as a messenger of Hispanic messages.

In Ríos' view, the show experience was disorienting, stating, "What I saw at the Super Bowl was something out of the ordinary...‘Conejo Malo’ knows how to preach, but he doesn't know how to sing." This pointed remark underscored his dissatisfaction with the performance, framing it as an example of converging styles that did not succeed in delivering an engaging musical experience. Ríos' commentary reflects a broader sentiment among some traditionalists in the Latino entertainment industry, who may feel that newer artists like Bad Bunny do not meet established artistic standards.

One of the more controversial aspects of Ríos' critique employed sarcasm to comment on Bad Bunny's vocal abilities. Such comments not only highlight stylistic divides in music appreciation but also raise questions about the acceptance of various pop genres in mainstream media. Ríos' criticisms of Bad Bunny could resonate with those who uphold traditional ideals in music, prompting a larger conversation about evolving standards of artistry in contemporary performance.
