The Puerto Rican artist's performance has alreadycaused much debate, but fans are looking forward to a performance that could unify, shut down his critics, and bring Latin music to an even bigger audience. The NFL has its bets on the 31-year-oldhelping globalize the Super Bowl, too.

And with up to 15 minutes to kill (some double headliners have gottenas low as 12 minutes to split), it's almost guaranteed the "Tití Me Preguntó" singer won't be alone.

While longtime collaboratorJ Balvinhas cleared up rumors that he would hit the stage following the pair'spost-feud reunion, other former collaborators and friends have neither confirmed nor denied making appearances.

Cardi B

Though the Bronx MC isnearly three months postpartum, she's also gearing up for her first headlining arena run in six years, theLittle Miss Drama Tour, on Feb. 11. The pair also have a hit record – "I Like It" with Balvin – that will let the "Up" rapper dip her toes in the Super Bowl field, after sheturned down the honorin 2019 to rack up "more hits" and experience performing.

Jennifer Lopezand Shakira

In a throwback to Bad Bunny and Balvin's special guest appearances duringJennifer LopezandShakira's coheadliningSuper Bowl performancein 2020, the rapper could offer the same invitation. Lopez and El Conejo Malo previously collaborated on the 2018 Latin trap hit, "Te Guste," which could slot in nicely with the singer's career-spanning set.

JLo currently has a break amid her Up All Night Las Vegas residency; however, Shakira will be preparing for the second half of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with multiple dates in El Salvador. Still, the trio may not want to pass upmaking Latin history again.

Rauw Alejandro

With two reggaeton collabs under their belt – 2022's "Party" and 2024's "Que Pasaría..." – Bad Bunny andRauw Alejandrocould bring the globally dominating genre to the biggest stage in American music. Rauw also hit the stage during Benito's record-breaking Puerto Rican residency in 2025, in a highly anticipated appearance that also saw the "Todo De Ti" singer play his biggest hits.

Marc Anthony

Grammy-winning salsa legendMarc Anthonycould make his way to the Super Bowl stage to perform his 2018 hit with Bad Bunny (and Will Smith), "Está Rico." An appearance from the Spanish Harlem native, a mainstay of the '90s and the top-selling salsa artist of all time, would help bridge generations of Latin music.

Maluma

Malumaand Bad Bunny have so far never shared the stage before and have only officially collaborated on the remix to Maluma's track "Un Polvo" in 2016, so this one is a bit of a reach. However, the Colombian singer has been supportive of Bad Bunny, including making a cameo at his residency, and he's not unfamiliar to American audiences, having collaborated with the likes of The Weeknd, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna and Ricky Martin.

<p style=For Bad Bunny, every album, every tour and every day is a new opportunity to reach new career heights.

Cuban president says he's willing to talk to U.S. but preparing a 'defense plan' as fuel crisis worsens

Cuban president says he's willing to talk to U.S. but preparing a 'defense plan' as fuel crisis worsens

HAVANA — Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said the government is preparing for severe fuel shortages as he denounced the Trump administration's measures that have cut oil supplies to the island.

"It is reprehensible that a power such as the U.S. would adopt such a criminal policy against a country, as it affects food, transportation, hospitals, schools, economic production and the functioning of our vital systems," Díaz-Canel said.

"We are going to take measures that, while not permanent, will require effort. What else are we to do?" he said during a nationally televised news conference Thursday.

He said the government would roll out a contingency plan in the next week to deal with the fuel shortages.

Díaz-Canel said there is a long list of issues that can be addressed between Cuba and the U.S. He said he's willing to engage in dialogue on any issue, but without pressure or preconditions and with respect for the country's sovereignty.

He said Cubans "do not hate" and recognize the values of the North American people. But the Cuban president said they're preparing a "defense plan" and stated that Cuba is a nation of peace and not a threat to the U.S.

"We aren't in a state of war," Díaz-Canel said, "but we are preparing ourselves in case we have to move to a state of war."

During a briefing Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt repeated President Donald Trump's claims that Cuba's government is about to collapse.

"The president is always willing to engage in diplomacy and I believe that's something that's taking place, in fact, with the Cuban government," she said.

Trump said over the weekend that the U.S.is talking with "the highest people" in Cuba, something Cuba's deputy foreign minister, Carlos de Cossio, confirmed Wednesday when hetold CNNthat Cuba and the U.S. had "some exchanges of messages" that were "linked" to the highest levels of Cuba's government.

De Cossio has reiterated inmultiple interviewsthis week that there is no official bilateral dialogue or negotiation with the U.S. right now, but they are open to dialogue if certain criteria are met.

Díaz-Canel said Cuba has not received oilshipments from Venezuelasince December. The South American country was the main provider of oil to Cuba, but that ended after the U.S. military operation that led to the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3.

In Havana, reaction to the president's upcoming contingency plan to grapple with fuel shortages was bleak.

"The future of Cuba is very dark," Frank Palomares, a publicist, said. "It's difficult for there to be changes here, and they tend to be delayed."

University student Melani Alarcon said: "We're going to be very bad off, without being able to do anything. In my case, I won't be able to study. There is no future in Cuba right now."

Trump has said he asked Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to stop oil shipments to Cuba. Mexico has been the second largest supplier of fuel to the island for years. Sheinbaum announced over the weekend that she would send food and other humanitarian aid to the island and called for diplomatic dialogue.

Since Maduro's capture, the Trump administration has turned its focus to Cuba. Trump and others in his administration have said Cuba is a "failing nation" and the government will fall.

It's unusual for the communist-run country's president to hold a news conference on short notice like he did Thursday. It reflects the mounting economic pressure Cuba is facing amid the rising tensions with the U.S.

Cuba has been in the midst of anacute economic crisisfor several years. The number of tourists arriving to the island has declined since the pandemic, and U.S. sanctions have cranked up since then. Chronic shortages in food and medicine have plagued the nation for years, andextended daily blackoutsdue to oil shortages have worsened.
