Bad Bunny wore his familia close to his chest.
During his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance on Feb. 8, the Puerto Rican superstar made waves as he performed some of his biggest hits and paid homage to his native island in a custom set by Zara bearing his last name and the number 64 across the chest and on the back.
The “DTMF” singer revealed The Cut that the number paid tribute to his late uncle Cutito, who was born in 1964. In fact, he taught the rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, “much of what he knows about the NFL.”
“I always dreamed of taking my uncle to a Super Bowl, and I couldn’t,” he told to the publication on Feb. 9 of his uncle, who left Puerto Rico to work on the United States mainland when he was 17. “He left unexpectedly, without warning.”
“So during my Super Bowl halftime show, I decided to have him on my shirt,” he added. “I dedicated my performance to him before it began. I’m sure he saw it, he was present, and he felt proud of his nephew.”
