Carlos Santana is setting the record straight. The legendary guitarist has firmly denied viral claims that he criticized Bad Bunny‘s upcoming 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance.

Full story below…

In a statement to Billboard Español, Santana praised the Puerto Rican superstar, saying:

“I congratulate and celebrate Bad Bunny’s success and his position right now with the world and with the Super Bowl.”

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer slammed the fake reports that alleged he disapproved of Bad Bunny wearing dresses as AI-generated misinformation. Santana’s manager, Michael Vrionis, echoed the concern, warning that:

“AI has accelerated the spread of misinformation, making it harder for the truth to break through the noise.”

Santana also urged fans to seek unity, not division, adding:

“Fear is what motivates ignorant people to put words in my mouth. I never said that, nor would I ever. My heart is in total harmony with Bad Bunny, and I celebrate his success, his triumph and his phenomenal achievement.”

Well, that’s that. Santana has made it clear, he stands with Benito.
