Patrick, 42, wrote on X that she believed performances at one of America’s most-watched television events should not feature songs in languages other than English. Her comment quickly sparked debate online.
Bad Bunny, born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, in 1994, is a U.S. citizen by birth. He is also one of the world's most-streamed artists, with a career that spans multiple chart-topping hits.

Some replies to Patrick’s post offered support. One user argued that Bad Bunny had previously refused to perform in the United States because of ICE, but was still appearing on "Saturday Night Live" and at the Super Bowl.
In a recent interview with i-D Magazine, Bad Bunny explained why he left U.S. cities off his 2025 tour. He said he was concerned his fans could be targeted by ICE raids, adding that it was an issue they had discussed and taken seriously.
