Bad Bunny made history at the Super Bowl half-time show, becoming the first artist to perform entirely in Spanish, while an AI-generated video depicting an Indian official shooting at Muslims sparked outrage and the world's largest pencil maker accused Costa Rica of misusing an old factory. The show, which included a real wedding ceremony, also drew criticism from former US President Donald Trump.
Bad Bunny's 14-minute performance at Levi's Stadium in California was a celebration of his Puerto Rican heritage, featuring guest appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, along with cameos from Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Karol G, and Jessica Alba, according to BBC World. The performance included a wedding ceremony, which Sky News confirmed was genuine. The unnamed couple had invited the rapper to their wedding, but he instead incorporated them into the show.
Meanwhile, in India, an AI-generated video shared by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam state, showed Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma appearing to shoot at Muslims, according to Al Jazeera. The 17-second clip, titled "point blank shot," was widely condemned and subsequently removed from social media after public outrage and criticism from opposition politicians. Assam is home to over 12 million Muslims.
In other news, Faber-Castell, the world's largest pencil maker, accused the Costa Rican government of misusing an old factory donated for humanitarian purposes, according to The Guardian. The German manufacturer stated it was unaware its facility was being used to detain asylum seekers deported by the Trump administration.
The Super Bowl performance also drew commentary from former President Donald Trump, who criticized the show as "terrible," according to BBC World. The show's message of unity and pride in the Americas, however, resonated with many viewers.
