The Monaco hitmaker paid homage to his uncle Cutito, who was born in 1964 and left Puerto Rico to work in the US mainland when he was 17 years old. Cuitito taught Bad Bunny "much of what he knows about the NFL" and it was his influence that led to the performer supporting the San Francisco 49ers.
He added to The Cut: "I always dreamed of taking my uncle to a Super Bowl, and I couldn't. He left unexpectedly, without warning.

"I dedicated my performance to him before it began. I'm sure he saw it, he was present, and he felt proud of his nephew."
During the show, Bad Bunny showcased his daring acrobatics and producers have told how he "refused to wear a harness" for stunts including climbing a utility pole without guardrails.
The show's director, Hamish Hamilton, told Variety: "He refused to wear a harness.BA
