Will Bad Bunny Bring Home the Bacon from His Super Bowl Gig?
The NFL's decision to book Latin rapper Bad Bunny for the upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime show has sparked debate among fans, with some hailing it as a bold move and others expressing disdain for the league's choice. But what about the benjamins? Will Bad Bunny get paid for his performance?
According to CBS News, performers are entitled to a mandatory minimum fee of around $1,000 per day under labor contracts through the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. However, this doesn't necessarily translate to a hefty paycheck for Bad Bunny.
"We do not pay the artists," an NFL spokesperson told Forbes back in 2016. "We cover expenses and production costs." While the league does chip in for travel costs and other expenses, which could run into millions of dollars, it's unclear whether these costs will be passed on to Bad Bunny.
The reasoning behind the NFL's stance is that performing at the Super Bowl offers artists unparalleled exposure – their show is watched by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. This visibility can often offset the lack of upfront payment.
Bad Bunny, however, has already proven himself as a global superstar with multiple Grammy awards and chart-topping hits under his belt. His performance is likely to be one of the biggest of his career, making it a no-brainer for fans to tune in.
With the halftime show scheduled to take place between 8-8:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Super Bowl start time at 6:30 p.m., fans can expect an electrifying performance from Bad Bunny. While we may not know exactly how much he'll be paid, one thing is certain – his performance will be a spectacle to remember.

HE'S ALREADY A GLOBAL SUPERSTAR AND THE SUPER BOWL GIG IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST STages OUT THERE! IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH HE GETS PAID, IT'S ABOUT THE EXPOSURE AND THE FACT THAT HE'LL BE PERFORMING FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE 
PLUS, WHO KNOWS, THE LEAGUE MIGHT EVEN OFFER HIM A DEAL HE CAN'T REFUSE 
. As a parent, I can relate to wanting my kids to get fair compensation for their hard work - whether that's playing sports or performing on stage 
. The NFL is being pretty transparent about not paying performers, but they're covering expenses, which is good 
... hopefully he's getting taken care of financially too 
I'm thinking, if Bad Bunny's already raking it in with Grammy awards and whatnot, then does the NFL really need to pay him straight up? Like, isn't that exposure worth millions? 
those NFL jerseys are gonna be flying off the shelves! And let's not forget, this is still a big gig for Bad Bunny - even if it's not the most lucrative one. I mean, have you seen his music videos? 
that man can put on a show! So yeah, I'm kinda thinking he'll bring home some serious cash... 
, no doubt, but is it enough to make the NFL's ratings go through the roof? I'm not saying he won't kill it on stage, but will his performance be enough to justify a multi-million dollar fee? The more I think about it, the less I care about the benjamins 
I think the NFL totally got this one right! Bringing in someone like Bad Bunny as the halftime performer is pure genius 
Not only will it bring in a massive global audience, but it'll also give the league a much-needed cool factor 
The fact that he's already a Grammy winner and has tons of chart-topping hits under his belt just makes it a no-brainer for him to take on this gig. Plus, can you imagine the social media buzz? It'll be lit 
but if they dont pay the artist upfront then its kinda unfair right? 
but i guess we gotta wait and see how much he'll get paid for that super bowl show
