As music lovers continue applauding Bad Bunny for the cultural showcase that was his star-studded Super Bowl Halftime Show from Sunday night’s big game (February 8), there appears to be one who isn’t exactly leading the cheer for the GRAMMY-winning global superstar: Chris Brown.
Despite being hailed as one of his generation’s top performers, flaunting his two decades worth of hits aboard the world’s biggest stage (i.e. the Super Bowl Halftime Show) has always eluded Brown – much to the chagrin of his dedicated fans also known as #TeamBreezy.
Celebrity members of the stan group such as Ne-Yo, Tyga, and Boosie Badazz have publicly called for the R&B bad boy to headline next year’s edition of the spectacle, with the latter even beginning an online campaign recently to get the attention of decision makers at the NFL and Apple Music (the show’s sponsor).
Immodestly, Chris appears to share the opinion of the many who are looking to see him as a future headliner.
“I think it’s safe to say…they need me,” the ‘Loyal’ singer wrote on Instagram Stories on Sunday night (February 8).
And while he did not specify the “they” mentioned in his surprising quote, fans quickly pointed out the timestamp of the post was during Bunny’s celeb-packed halftime show featuring Cardi B, Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Jessica Alba, and more.
At writing, Brown has not responded to the mixed reactions he’s garnered from his cryptic comment as some agreed with his assessment while others suggested he was salty.
Time will tell if Breezy will ever land the headlining spot at the coveted gig; he previously said he would “never do it,” but his manager later suggested the opposite.
Chris ain’t lying. He would have been waaaaaaaaaay better. Breezy did what he did to Rihanna in the summery of 536 B.C. but society, really the whites, still won’t let it go.
The show wasn’t relatable to the majority of the sport viewing population. It wasn’t good at all! Shakira and JLO were able to mix things well and unfortunately bad bunny fell flat. Chris Brown definitely would’ve put on a show and im sorry i didn’t see cardi B at any point so not sure why the post mentioned her 😂 we need entertainment and he didn’t deliver bottom line. The representation of all the latin countries was cute, but the only thing we understood as English speakers was when he said God bless America
Maybe you could invite Pedonika Minaj …. 😆
I think Bb did a great job,it’s about time we have someone perform celebrating us Latinos,Bravo, Bravo 👏! Can’t have black performers every year!!!!
I agree nothing wrong with a Latin performance although Chris said what he said remember it was yt ppl that was the 1s hating on you all having a Spanish speaking performer not blk ppl.
Blk people speak ENGLISH
IF YOU LIVE IN THE US
It’s 2026 time to learn ENGLISH
@Latina76 Not sure if you are a troll or an actual commenter but this is why most people of color couldn’t get behind this performance. Latinos borrow from BLACK culture heavily but yall don’t celebrate us in the same way we celebrate and respect you guys. This comment is the example. Each time a BLACK performer from any background hits that stage, it opens a door for people like you and Playboy Bunny to have similar opportunities as well. Keep it real. The performance was cute but Chris will do better babes, and you know it.
Nobody needs you 🤣
JayZ will never phone you b*tch
In 50 years people will remember Bad Bunny for sweeping the Grammys and standing up against Trump… and will remember Chris Brown for being the stain of USA sweeping violence against Black women under the rug not the music. I’m tired of this punk acting salty over accolades he does not deserve, he needs to be grateful he still has a career.
Get over it. Chris is now the moment again. Numbers don’t lie. Cry about it babes.
That halftime show sucked. Had a white woman dressed like a Latina 🤣😅 and i love Gaga but NO!
A HARD nooooooooo!!! Kendrick would never…
CB will never be the moment hctib!!!
we absolutely need him. to stay home and shut up, that is.
Not even a Breezy fan but im here for this. He has the hits AND the talent. Give it to him and Ciars for 2027 or 2028. Its long overdue…just like that tired but cute performance from Jlo and Shakira, give the Prince and Princess their props and stage. We are ready! No one performing like them at all!
And what´s he gonna do for his performance? Beat up a woman live on stage??
Never heard A BB song until the show and I like his voice.
Even if Chris B performs he will need guest performers, he will not be enough.
Most of us don’t like C.B including me BUT he can outperform many artist. He will still need guests so everyone is pleased. His music doesn’t do it for me.
Next year they should do a NSync and Backstreet Boy Reunion and bring out Blaque, TLC, OTown and 98 degrees.
