Posters featuring the Sapo Concho, the Puerto Rican conch toad that Bad Bunny often uses in his visuals, have started to appear around San Francisco just before the musician's highly-anticipated Super Bowl halftime show performance. The posters include anti-ICE messaging and imagery inspired by Bad Bunny's branding.

Why it matters

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show is set to make history as the first performed by a solo Latin artist. However, the musician's advocacy for LGBTQ+, women's, and immigrant rights has drawn criticism from some, including former President Donald Trump and his supporters, who have accused Bad Bunny of being 'un-American' despite him being a U.S. citizen from Puerto Rico.

The details

The posters feature an illustration of the Sapo Concho toad wearing a blue button-up shirt with the letters 'DTMF,' referencing Bad Bunny's 2025 record 'DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.' The toad is holding up three fingers and wearing a whistle around its neck. Above the toad is the word 'F—' and below it 'ICE.' Spanish versions of the poster read 'C— LA MIGRA.' It is unclear who the artist is behind the posters, which were put up just ahead of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance.

  • The posters began circulating on social media on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
  • Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show is set to take place on Sunday, February 2, 2026.
