Artists performing at the Super Bowl halftime show often have guests, as Bad Bunny did in 2020 when Jennifer Lopez and Shakira headlined. Now everyone is wondering if the Puerto Rican artist will bring any of his collaborators along, and if so, who they might be.
At the press conference for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, moderator Zane Lowe asked Bad Bunny who he would share the stage with at Santa Clara Stadium on February 8, 2026. "Why are you asking me that if I'm not going to tell you?" he replied with a laugh. However, that hasn't stopped fans and media from speculating about who might appear alongside him. Bad Bunny has collaborators with a history, personal connections, and memorable moments that make certain artists seem like a good fit for that stage. Here are 11 names, along with their key songs and why they could potentially join him.
1. Cardi B – I Like It
The most obvious collaboration, and one with a long history in the US market, is "I Like It ," featuring Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin . The song, a blend of trap and hip hop with salsa and boogaloo influences, reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018 and was Bad Bunny's highest debut on that chart at the time. The track holds a special place in American pop culture, and reviving it at the Super Bowl would be an iconic moment .
The Colombian artist has said he won't be on stage, though that may have been a way to throw people off the scent. Cardi will be in San Francisco because her partner, Stefon Diggs, will be playing for the Patriots. She's the favorite to join Benito in the betting odds.
2. Rauw Alejandro – UNFRESHED / Other collabs
Although they don't have a major global hit single like "I Like It ," Rauw Alejandro and Bad Bunny share a close relationship and have toured together recently, bridging two generations of Puerto Rican reggaeton . Their presence could strengthen the Puerto Rican element of the show and offer a transitional point between different eras of the genre.
3. Drake - Mia
One of the first international artists to record with Benito was Canadian rapper Drake, with whom he released "Mía" in October 2018. The song was a massive hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Residents near Levi's Stadium claim to have heard the song's chords during rehearsals.
4. Grupo Frontera – Un x100to
The collaboration with Grupo Frontera on UN X100TO was a key moment in popularizing norteño cumbia/regional Mexican pop within the urban music repertoire. Inviting the group would represent another branch of Latin music and celebrate a boom in Mexican music that Bad Bunny has supported at events like Coachella.
5. Ricky Martin – Expensive and Latin Legacy
The story between Ricky Martin and Bad Bunny goes beyond a single song. They've appeared on stage at each other's recent shows, and their collaboration on "Caro" —along with Residente—and shared moments on tour make Ricky an emotional and significant guest , bridging generations of Latin artists.
6. Julieta Venegas – I'm Sorry BB:/
While not as explosive on global charts as some other artists, the collaboration "Lo Siento BB:/" by Julieta Venegas, Tainy, and Bad Bunny went viral on streaming platforms and showcases Bad Bunny's ability to blend styles and generations. His live performance could add a melodic and emotional touch to the halftime show.
7. Ivy Queen – Yo Perreo Sola (remix)
Reggaeton legend Ivy Queen has been hailed by many fans and media outlets as a symbol of the genre. Her participation in Bad Bunny's recent tours and her history with perreo make a segment featuring her singing part of "Yo Perreo Sola (remix)" a historic moment within the urban music scene.
8. Tainy – CALLAÍTA (and chief producer)
He's not a typical guest performer, but Tainy , a key producer in Bad Bunny's career, could appear to mix and produce live , especially if "CALLAÍTA ," a track many expect to see on the setlist, is included. Tainy was also part of Bad Bunny's key moments with Shakira during the 2020 halftime show.
9. Residente – Medley and cultural force
More than just a typical musical collaboration, Residente shares a strong Puerto Rican identity and activism with Bad Bunny. His presence could include a medley of classics or a segment featuring "Atrévete-Te-Te ," offering a powerful cultural nod , even if it's not a direct shared hit.
10. Karol G – Connection of reggaeton and the female scene
Karol G is a dominant figure in urban pop and reggaeton. Although she doesn't yet have a major official collaboration with Bad Bunny, both Latin and English-speaking audiences will recognize her, and her presence could strengthen the profile of women in the genre. Media outlets like Complex have explored this possibility as one of the most discussed.
11. Daddy Yankee – La Santa , China and the legacy of reggaeton
They haven't had a recent major collaboration as such, but Daddy Yankee is the architect of global reggaeton , with tracks like "La Santa" and "China" (with Anuel AA, Karol G, Ozuna, and J Balvin) that have garnered over 2 billion views and achieved global success . His appearance, even if not on a direct collaboration with Bad Bunny, would be a tribute to the legacy of the genre that Benito represents at the halftime show.
