Shot In San Fran After Super Bowl
Non Life Threatening Injury
Published
San Francisco 49ers DE Keion White was shot in the ankle Monday morning, just hours after the Super Bowl ended, with the 3-year NFL vet sustaining a non-life-threatening injury.
White, 27, is currently in a local hospital where he’s undergoing surgery.
The team confirmed the news in a statement to The Athletic, saying they will update his condition “when appropriate.”
The outlet went on to report that it happened during an event in San Fran, when an altercation occurred, which reportedly did not involve White, who was caught up in the gunfire.
”A preliminary investigation revealed a verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business,” a spokesperson for the SFPD said. “The victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect.”
It marks yet another NFL player to fall victim to gun violence in America. In November, Kris Boyd was shot outside a restaurant in New York City after a verbal argument.
In August 2024, White’s teammate, Ricky Pearsall, was shot and wounded after an attempted armed robbery in San Francisco.
White has yet to comment on the matter himself

As backlash swirled online over Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, at least one high-profile creator is making it clear she’s firmly in his corner. OnlyFans star Sophie Rain spoke out in support of the global superstar after he delivered his first-ever Super Bowl halftime performance, which brought high-energy and an unapologetic party vibe he promised fans.

NFL Defends Bad Bunny After Backlash Over Lyrics And Political Views
When Bad Bunny was first announced as the halftime headliner, criticism quickly followed, much of it centered on his Spanish-language music, explicit lyrics, Puerto Rican roots, and outspoken political views. The artist, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio, has been vocal about his opposition to aggressive immigration enforcement and previously called for the end of ICE during a Grammys speech.
Despite calls from some corners to replace him, the NFL stood by its choice. Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked again this week about Bad Bunny’s comments and made it clear the league supports artists using their platforms to express themselves.

Super Bowl Halftime Turns Into Culture War
Much of the backlash, critics noted, ignored the fact that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and that Bad Bunny is a U.S. citizen. Instead, the reaction fueled a broader culture war over who gets to represent America on its biggest stage, and what “American” even looks like.
But Sophie Rain wasn’t buying into the outrage.

Sophie Rain Says Bad Bunny ‘Represented Millions’ On Super Bowl Stage
Shortly after the halftime show performance, Rain took to X, writing, “halftime show was great, wish there wasn’t so much hate in this world.”
In a statement shared with The Blast, Rain expanded on why the performance mattered to her and to so many others watching. “Bad Bunny didn’t just perform,” she said. “He represented millions of people who don’t often see themselves in the spotlight on the biggest stage in America.”
She urged fans not to let political noise drown out what the moment meant. “If you felt seen last night, if you felt proud, hold onto that,” Rain said. “Don’t let all the political noise drown out what the moment meant. Bad Bunny didn’t perform for social media; he performed for his people and to represent what music means to him.”

Sophie Rain Says Bad Bunny Made History By Representing All Cultures
Rain added that the performance sent a powerful message to those who often feel pushed aside. “He performed for the people who’ve been told they’re too loud, too foreign, too different,” she said. “And he made history doing it.”
She closed by calling for more unity and less division in pop culture and in the world. “I’m proud of artists like Benito,” Rain said. “There’s a lot of hate in the world right now. We need less of that. We need to represent all cultures equally.”

Trump Slams Halftime Show As ‘Absolutely Terrible’
Not everyone was cheering. Donald Trump weighed in on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance with a blistering social media post on Sunday, making it clear he was not a fan.
Calling the show “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst, EVER,” Trump described the performance as a “slap in the face” to the country. He went on to say there was “nothing inspirational” about the halftime show and claimed it failed to reflect what he views as American values.
“It makes no sense,” Trump wrote, adding that the performance was an “affront to the Greatness of America” and did not represent “Success, Creativity, or Excellence.” He also criticized the music and choreography, saying viewers couldn’t understand the lyrics and calling the dancing inappropriate for children watching at home.
While Donald Trump’s outspoken criticism grabbed headlines, the overall response to Bad Bunny’s halftime show leaned far more positive across Hollywood and beyond. Comedy legend Adam Sandler cheered the performance, while others praised Bad Bunny’s celebration of culture and unity on one of the world’s biggest stages.

College student Jackie Bluebird was headed to class at Belmont University when she had a chance to be on the show.
The Super Bowl LX halftime show proved to be more than just a musical milestone. It was also a big win for Deaf advocacy. Although Bad Bunny made history as the first predominantly Spanish-language headliner, the real breakthrough came when a Puerto Rican Sign Language (LSPR) interpreter provided access to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, a move that directly honors the linguistic rights of the Puerto Rican Deaf community.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Honored The Puerto Rican Deaf Community
For years, the standard for accessibility at major events has been American Sign Language (ASL). However, for the 220,000 deaf or hard-of-hearing residents of Puerto Rico, ASL isn’t always used.
LSPR evolved from ASL in the early 1900s, but has developed its own unique pacing, slang, and cultural nuances that make it a separate language. Despite its importance to the Puerto Rican community, linguistic experts have categorized LSPR as an endangered language. Advocacy for its use is a fight for the survival of a specific cultural heritage, and watching it being performed during the Super Bowl only highlights the importance of maintaining the language.

How Celimar Rivera Cosme Started Working With Bad Bunny
Celimar Rivera Cosme was the LSPR interpreter who provided services during the Super Bowl halftime show. Cosme is a native of Puerto Rico. She is hard of hearing and was hired directly by the NFL to interpret Bad Bunny’s set.
However, that doesn’t mean she’s unfamiliar with the superstar. She began working with him in 2022 after an Instagram video she made went viral. According to San Francisco PBS member station KQED, she begged him to include an LSPR interpreter at his shows, and he hired her a week after she posted the video.

Celimar Rivera Cosme Explains The Importance Of LSPR
According to a 2022 report, approximately seven percent of Puerto Rico’s residents identify as either deaf or hard-of-hearing. This would account for approximately 220,000 people in their overall population of 3.2 million.
“We’ve been fighting not to lose our language, but to keep it,” Cosme told The New York Times in an interview ahead of her performance. “The Super Bowl will be an excellent platform for us to use our language.”
She was also thankful for her opportunity to showcase Puerto Rico’s culture and language during the Super Bowl, one of the most-watched sports events of the year.

“The stakes here are to show that we are friendly people, and also how we dance, our lyrics, our slang,” she told the Times. “Puerto Rico… we might be a small island, but people here have a huge, huge heart.”

Celimar Rivera Cosme Was ‘Thrilled’ To Interpret The Super Bowl
In addition, Cosme told KQED that she was “excited” to perform, knowing it would make the people of Puerto Rico “happy” to see their language showcased in such a public way.
“I’m so excited,” she said. “And the deaf people of Puerto Rico are happy that the Super Bowl will be accessible to them in their own sign language.”
She went on to say, “I know I’m going to be the one standing up there, but it’s the deaf community of my island that’s going to shine.”
A Couple Got Married During Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
Only a few days before Valentine’s Day, love was in the air at the Super Bowl halftime show! According to KION, that was a real wedding that took place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. A pastor from Sacramento, Antonio Reyes from Sacramento’s Project Church, confirmed that he really married the couple in a message posted in Spanish on his Instagram page.
“Ahora ya que el secreto se a revelado… esto fue un honor para mí como latino y como un seguidor de Jesús ser presencia en un momento tan histórico como éste. Tengo más por compartir con ustedes,” he wrote, which can be loosely translated as, “Now that the secret is out… this was an honor for me as a Latino and as a follower of Jesus to be in the presence of such a historic moment as this. I have more to share with you.”

Although updates are steadily arriving, it still feels like we are a long way away from the return of James Bond. Daniel Craig‘s last outing as 007 in No Time to Die debuted in October 2021, and it is unlikely we will see another face take the role for quite some time, seeing as a casting announcement is yet to arrive. We know that Denis Villeneuve will take over the franchise’s new Amazon MGM Studios era, and he won’t officially begin the search for the next Bond until he wraps Dune: Part Three.
Luckily for fans of Britain’s most famous fictional spy, a brand-new spy thriller has just landed on ITV and has caught the eye of some. Betrayal, written by award-winning playwright and screenwriter David Eldridge and directed by BAFTA and Emmy nominee Julian Jarrold, made its debut this past Sunday, and its many twists and turns have already raised questions about a second season.
Shaun Evans, who portrays MI5 agent John, was asked about a potential Season 2 in a recent interview, with the Vigil star replying, “We set out to make a four-parter which was strong and felt like it had no filler, that it wasn’t hanging around, that it was tight and concise, and that the story was really strong.” He continued, “And then you offer that to the world, and if there’s an appetite for more, then we will get together and discuss whether there’s more story to tell.”
But it seems there was never an intent to turn Betrayal into a recurring series from the start, with Evans adding, “It wasn’t like, ‘This is a brilliant setup for running and running and running’,” he said. “I think you’re on a hiding to nothing if you do that. To me, it feels quite cynical.”
What Is ‘Betrayal’ About?
Not all spy thrillers are the same, but it can be difficult for them to stand out in a packed genre. A synopsis for Betrayal reads, “At the heart of the story is John Hughes, a mid-career MI5 officer navigating a rapidly evolving intelligence landscape while struggling to keep his personal life intact. On a hunch, John meets a British-Iranian man with links to the Stockport gangland who claims he has intelligence about a plot on UK soil.” It continues:
“Before he can share intel, the informant is executed, and John kills the assassin in self-defence. John soon finds himself under internal investigation, facing scrutiny from his superiors, including Simone Grant (Nikki Amuka-Bird), while his partner Claire (Romola Garai) grapples with the secrecy that defines his world.”

Zach Bryan has entered the 2026 Super Bowl halftime battle chat, slamming Turning Point USA for putting on a rival show during Bad Bunny’s official performance.
“I don’t care what side you’re on, a bunch of adults throwing temper tantrums and their own halftime show is embarrassing as hell and the most cringe s*** on the planet,” Bryan, 29, allegedly wrote in a since-deleted Instagram Story post on Monday, February 9, according to Fact Post and Country Chord.
One day prior, the “Pink Skies” singer shared an Instagram Story directed at the Turning Point USA All-American Halftime Show headliner Kid Rock.
In the Sunday, February 8, photo, someone tried to cover their TV screen with their hand as Bad Bunny, 31, took the stage during Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, while the user watched Kid Rock’s alternative show on their phone.
“What Kid Rock actually thinks is happening across America,” Bryan captioned the post, taking a jab at the rocker.
The battle of the halftime shows has been making waves since fall 2025, after Bad Bunny was announced as the headliner for Super Bowl 60.
While some fans were excited to see the rapper on such a big stage, the NFL received backlash by conservatives, media pundits and Republican politicians — including President Donald Trump — who argued Bad Bunny wasn’t American or American “enough” because he hails from Puerto Rico and performs primarily in Spanish. (Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and Puerto Ricans are United States citizens.) .

Amid the backlash, Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk and now helmed by his widow Erika Kirk, announced in October 2025 that the right-wing organization would host an alternative halftime show.
According to Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet, the show was meant to serve as “an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom.”
Kid Rock, 55, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett were all announced as acts performing at the secondary show.
Turning Point USA, the conservative and right-wing organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk, is hosting its own Super Bowl LX halftime show. “It’s true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All-American Halftime Show,” an October 2025 X statement read, noting the concert will celebrate “faith, family and freedom.” The All-American Halftime Show […]
Ahead of the Super Bowl, Kid Rock addressed the alleged rivalry between the two shows, saying in a February 2 statement, “We plan to play great songs for folks who love America.”
He explained, “We’re approaching this show like David and Goliath. Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible … or is it?”
The “All Summer Long” singer then spoke about Bad Bunny and took a jab at what he claimed was the singer’s planned performance. “He’s said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America,” Kid Rock added.
When it came time to actually perform on Sunday during the break between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots football game both shows had fans tune in to show support. (The Seahawks beat the Patriots 29-13.)
Bad Bunny made history by singing the entire show in Spanish. He brought out surprise guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin to perform, while celebrities like Alix Earle, Jessica Alba and Pedro Pascal were spotted dancing on the field as part of his lavish performance.
Toward the end of halftime, Bad Bunny was seen holding a football that read, “Together, we are America.”
Bad Bunny also gave a shout-out to all of the Americas, including Latin America, the Caribbean, the United States and Canada, amid controversy surrounding ICE raids in the U.S. that are targeting illegal immigration.
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” a giant message on the stadium jumbotron read as Bad Bunny exited the field.
Lady Gaga is expressing her gratitude to Bad Bunny for letting her be part of his record-breaking Super Bowl LX halftime show performance.
“Thank you Benito for including me in this powerful, important, and meaningful performance,” Gaga, 39, wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 9, alongside a photo of the Joker star and Bad Bunny, 31, behind the scenes of Super Bowl 60. “I am so humbled to be a part of this moment.”
The singer continued, “It’s all the more special because it was with you and your beautiful heart and music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ All my love to Benito, Ricky and the whole cast.”
Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) also shared her appreciation for her stylists Chloe Delgadillo and Chenelle Delgadillo, thanking the pair for her “beautiful styling and fashion.”
When Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance during Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl LX halftime show, some viewers were puzzled by the unexpected pairing. However, Bad Bunny (real name Benito Martínez Ocasio) has been a fan of Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) for years — and they sparked a friendship long before their performance during the […]
“All of your talent and love made that beautiful dress come to life,” she added.
Gaga was one of Bad Bunny’s surprise guests during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots faced off in the NFL championship. (The Seahawks walked away Super Bowl champs for the second time in the franchise’s history.)
The Grammy winner joined the rapper on stage to perform a solo version of her and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With a Smile.” The arrangement was changed to give the song an appropriate salsa flair. The singer also paid homage to Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rican heritage by donning a blue pleated dress with a brooch featuring Puerto Rico’s national flower, the flor de maga.
While on stage, Gaga and Bad Bunny (real name Benito Martínez Ocasio) shared a sweet dance. In addition to Gaga, Ricky Martin sang during the halftime show. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Alix Earle, Cardi B and Jessica Alba all made cameos during the La Casita portion of the performance, a recurring symbol in Bad Bunny’s tour and Puerto Rico residency.
Days before their Super Bowl, Gaga and Bad Bunny shared a sweet interaction at the 2026 Grammys. After Bad Bunny won the award for Best Música Urbana Album, Gaga came up to the rapper to speak to him. After the ceremony, Bad Bunny shared details about the pair’s interaction.
“She said, ‘I love you!’ And that’s it,” Bad Bunny told Access Hollywood about crossing paths with Gaga at the awards show. “And I was like, ‘I love you too!’”
Bad Bunny had family on his mind when he took the field for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. The rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, wore a cream-colored custom jersey for his performance, with “Ocasio” on the back and No. 64. “Bad Bunny paid homage to his uncle who played football […]
Bad Bunny and Gaga’s history dates back way before they shared the Super Bowl LX stage. In 2020, Bad Bunny revealed he was a big fan of Gaga’s music after he was spotted wearing a T-shirt featuring the pop star’s Chromatica cover art.
“That album makes me feel more happy,” Bad Bunny told E! News of his Chromatica fandom at the time. “When she dropped that album, I was in a really good moment, enjoying my life. I love that album.”
Four years later, Gaga shared that she was also a big fan of Bad Bunny and dreamed of working with him one day.
“I’m actually a very big Bad Bunny fan,” she told Despierta América in September 2024. “Yes, I love Bad Bunny. If he wants to [work together], of course. I would love to.”
