Anti-ICE Posters Inspired by Bad Bunny Appear in San Francisco Before Super Bowl

With Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show just days away, street art inspired by the global superstar has started appearing around San Francisco — and it’s stirring conversation.

Posters featuring Sapo Concho, the Puerto Rican conch toad that Bad Bunny has embraced as part of his creative identity, have been spotted in multiple locations in the city. The character has become closely tied to the artist’s recent visuals and even appeared in his official Super Bowl merchandise collaboration with the NFL.

In the posters, the cartoon toad is shown wearing a shirt marked “DTMF,” referencing Bad Bunny’s 2025 album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. The artwork includes anti-ICE messaging, with both English and Spanish versions circulating. Photos of the posters began spreading on social media in the days leading up to the big game.

It remains unclear who created the posters, but the timing is notable. Bad Bunny’s halftime performance on Feb. 8 is already historic, marking the first time a solo Latin artist headlines the Super Bowl show. His selection has drawn both celebration and criticism, with political figures and commentators debating his outspoken support for LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, and immigrant communities.

Bad Bunny, born in Puerto Rico — a U.S. territory — has long used his platform to speak on social and cultural issues affecting Latino communities. During his recent tour, he notably skipped U.S. stops, citing concerns about how immigration enforcement could impact his largely Latino fanbase.

Despite speculation about heightened immigration enforcement tied to the Super Bowl, San Francisco officials have said they have not been informed of any surge in ICE operations related to the event.

The appearance of the posters highlights how music, identity, and social issues often intersect — especially when an artist with global reach takes the stage at one of the world’s most watched events.

As the Super Bowl approaches, Bad Bunny’s performance is shaping up to be more than entertainment — it’s also a moment reflecting the broader cultural conversations happening around him.
