It's only February, andBad Bunny is already having a whirlwind year—but even with all the success, the reggaeton star wants everyone to know he's still the same humble guy he was before he achieved massive fame.

The Un Verano Sin Ti artist—who just took home three Grammy awards at the Feb. 1 ceremony, including Album of the Year for his sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos—sat down with Access Hollywood to chat all-things-Benito before hitting the stage for the 2026 Super BowlHalftime Show this weekend.

After speaking with interviewer Scott Evans about how wildly different his life was just a decade ago when he was still working at a grocery store, the 31-year-old wrapped up the near-13-minute sit-down with a transparent sentiment. Responding to the question, "When your 13 minutes on that stage are done, what would you want [people] to know is undeniably Bad Bunny?" he kept it as down-to-earth as one could imagine.

"That I'm an honest artist, that I'm myself; that I don't act to be anything that I'm not; that I'm proud about who I am, and what I come from, and that the music doesn't have a language," he bluntly stated, subtly quieting naysayers. "Music is universal. You can connect heart to heart just with a song without any lyrics. That's the only thing I want people to know, and feel after my show."

"I'm just a normal guy that makes music," he insisted.

In September 2025, the announcement that the Caribbean, Puerto Rican native was set to take the NFL Super Bowl LX Halftime stage with his solely-Spanish music catalog sparked controversy, garnering intense backlash from MAGA supporters, and becoming a hot-button topic nationwide.

The singer-rapper, meanwhile, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been vocal about his political views, even exclaiming, "ICE out," during his Grammys acceptance speech.

Still, the "Me Porto Bonito" artist isn't aiming to be divisive. In fact, it seems he's going for quite the opposite, looking to bring people together with his rhythmic tunes, recently declaring that people "don't even need to learn Spanish" to enjoy his set. "It's better they learn to dance," he said, adding, "I just want people to have fun."
