Bad Bunny might be the most controversial Super Bowl Halftime Show artist ever ... but Shakira doesn't quite see what all the backlash is about.
The Queen of Latin Music told Variety, "It's about time!"
Shakira said she's proud of BB ... not only for representing Latin culture, but also for how universal Spanish-language music has become.

BB was Spotify's third most-streamed artist on the planet in 2024, behind Taylor Swift and The Weeknd.
