Bad Bunny appears to stay seated during ‘God Bless America’ at Yankee Stadium: report

Bad Bunny came under scrutiny when he appeared to sit still during “God Bless America” ​​at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night during a playoff game between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays, according to a report.

TMZ Sports first obtained the photo that appeared to show the Grammy Award-winning artist about three rows behind home plate, sitting with his friends while fans around them stood, some with their hands over their hearts. A video posted by the outlet appears to show the crowd chanting “lead her” in unison as he sits.

Fox News Digital has contacted Bad Bunny Agency and the Yankees for comment. An AI check of the photo raised no alarms.

Bad Bunny was thrust into the national spotlight when it was announced that he had been chosen to be the performer for the Super Bowl LV halftime show. Since then, the Puerto Rico native’s comments towards American Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have come to light.

Bad Bunny said in September that he had not booked any U.S. dates for his tour, fearing his fans would be detained by ICE agents.

“But there was the problem of… like fucking ICE could be on the outside. [my concert]. And that’s something that we were talking about and that we’re very concerned about,” he told iD.

In June, he recorded and posted video of what he described as local ICE raids on social media in Puerto Rico.

“Look, these motherfuckers are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela,” he said in Spanish, mentioning that ICE was working on Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina, a city east of Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan.

“Sons of bitches, instead of leaving people alone and working there,” he added.
