‘Ripping off his mic’ Bad Bunny scrubs Instagram clean, ‘rushed’ off stage, & disappears just hours after his Super Bowl 60 halftime performance

Bad Bunny turned the biggest stage in American sports into his own reset button. Hours after delivering a historic, all-Spanish Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi’s Stadium on Feb.

8, the Puerto Rican star wiped his Instagram feed, unfollowed everyone, and even removed his profile picture, leaving more than 51 million followers staring at an empty grid.The move landed right on top of an already charged night. His halftime set leaned hard into Puerto Rican and pan-Latin imagery and ended with a football inscribed “Together we are America” and the stadium message “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” before he shouted “God bless America” as flags from across the Americas filled the screen.

Within hours, Donald Trump was on Truth Social calling the show “absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” and slamming it as “an affront to the Greatness of America.

Bad Bunny’s Instagram reset has fans hunting for clues

For now, there is no statement from Bad Bunny’s camp explaining the wipe. The timing did the talking. His account went to zero posts shortly after halftime, a pattern fans know from other pop stars who clear their grids before a new era.On X, one fan wrote, “Bad Bunny deleting his Instagram after the Super Bowl is peak ‘reset the timeline’ behavior.

That’s the universal sign for ‘I know I broke the internet.’” Another called it “NEW ERA AND NEW ALBUM!” and others simply panicked that “we’re not gonna see him for another 2 years.” In other words, the blank page is working exactly as a tease: everyone is watching for the first tile to drop.

The wipe also followed a strange end to the broadcast, when viewers noticed security crowding him as his mic appeared to cut out while he tried to keep singing.

Clips of him pulling out his earpiece and bumping through people at the edge of the stage only fueled the sense that something unscripted happened in the final seconds. Fans have spent the hours since replaying the exit as closely as the performance itself.One fan commented, "Something didn’t seem right at the end of half time. Why were they rushing Bad Bunny off like it was a security issue." Another followed up with, "I dunno why more people didn’t see this.

Security looked concerned, Benito kinda bumped a couple people, pulled his ear piece and music cut abruptly."

Trump attacks Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show while the NFL stands by the choice

Trump’s post went beyond a simple review. He complained that “nobody understands a word this guy is saying” and called the dancing “disgusting, especially for young children,” before pivoting into a familiar boast about the “Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!” and blasting the show as a “slap in the face” to the country.

That rant landed against months of backlash from parts of the right over the NFL’s decision to hand the halftime slot to a Spanish-language headliner who has spoken out on immigration and Puerto Rican politics. League commissioner Roger Goodell has already defended the choice, saying Bad Bunny understood the platform and would use it to “unite people,” a point the performance leaned into from the opening Puerto Rico street tableau to the final message about love over hate.So far, the NFL has not commented on the Instagram wipe or the awkward end of the TV broadcast. Until Bad Bunny posts again, the story is simple: he just turned a 13-minute set and an empty social feed into the most talked-about combo of Super Bowl weekend, and he did it in Spanish while everyone in football still has to react in English.
