Carlos Santana<\/a> is not having any of the misinformation being spread about him. Following viral Facebook posts claiming that the legendary guitarist slammed the NFL\u2019s choice of having Bad Bunny <\/a>headline the Super Bowl halftime show next year, Santana has put out a statement to make clear that he supports the star\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n \u201cI congratulate and celebrate Bad Bunny\u2019s success and his position right now with the world and with the Super Bowl,\u201d Santana\u2019s statement begins. \u201cI feel total oneness with what he\u2019s doing because we are here to utilize art to complement and bring the world closer to harmony and oneness. However, we\u2019re living in a time of fear, division, separation, superiority and inferiority. Fear is the flavor right now. Fear is what motivates ignorant people to put words in my mouth \u2014 saying that I didn\u2019t want Bad Bunny to be represented at the Super Bowl. I never said that, nor would I ever.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Viral posts on Facebook made claims that Santana had not only criticized the younger star for wearing a dress but that he was personally petitioning to replace Bad Bunny as the halftime performer. Both of these stories are false.<\/p>\n \u201cJust to be clear, my heart is in total harmony with Bad Bunny, and I celebrate his success, his triumph and his phenomenal achievement,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnything other than that is coming from people\u2019s ignorance. We\u2019re living in a time when hostile forces love to create conflict, separation and division, because the hostile forces don\u2019t like unity, harmony, oneness and joy. They want people to be miserable and to spend too much time in their minds. I spend a lot of time in my heart, and in my heart I celebrate Bad Bunny. I can\u2019t stop playing his song \u2018Monaco\u2019 \u2014 there\u2019s something really magical about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Santana invited the people who have started these rumors to \u201cdo something more creative with their energy.\u201d<\/p>\n Santana\u2019s manager Michael Vrionis also added to the statement that AI has created a series of trolling posts and rumors about Santana that the team has attempted to disseminate. \u201cDon\u2019t rely on random or unverified posts,\u201d he said. \u201cEven well-meaning outlets can get misled.\u201d<\/p>\n Bad Bunny\u2019s upcoming gig at the Super Bowl halftime show has caused an internet uproar, particularly from the MAGA crowd<\/a>. Far-right leadership has threatened to have ICE officers outside of the stadium where the game will take place. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk\u2019s widow Erika Kirk announced counterprogramming from Turning Point USA. So far, Bad Bunny has taken this all in stride. While hosting Saturday Night Live<\/a>, he told the audience they have \u201cfour months to learn\u201d Spanish before his performance.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
