Devin Booker shrugs off Bad Bunny halftime show question; both share ex Kendall Jenner
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker drew attention during a recent media availability when a reporter asked him for his thoughts on Bad Bunny’s high-profile Super Bowl LX halftime show. Rather than offer commentary on the performance itself, Booker gave a brief and direct response that quickly circulated online.
Facing questions about the reggae and Latin artist’s performance at Levi’s Stadium, Booker corrected the premise before giving his answer. “I’m Mexican,” he said, emphasising his own cultural background, before adding, “I didn’t watch it, to be completely honest.”
“I’m Mexican, I didn’t watch to be completely honest.”

Bad Bunny’s halftime set was widely lauded and heavily discussed in the days following Super Bowl 60, not just as a musical highlight but as a cultural moment that celebrated Latino identity. Despite that, Booker’s response suggested he simply chose not to engage with the topic, creating a moment that was replayed and commented on across social platforms.
Part of why the exchange sparked online chatter is the personal history overlapping the figures involved. Booker previously dated Kendall Jenner, who later had a relationship with Bad Bunny, and fans have noted the pair’s romantic links in discussions about the brief interview, though Booker didn’t reference any of that during the interaction.
Rather than dissect the performance or weigh in on its cultural implications, Booker opted for a short, candid answer, closing the topic quickly. That no-frills reaction, paired with his choice not to engage further, became the focus of social media reaction, with many users mixing humour and surprise at the straightforward delivery.
As of now, Booker hasn’t expanded on his comment in follow-up interviews, and neither he nor Bad Bunny has issued any joint statements about the exchange.
