White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has criticized global sensation Bad Bunny multiples times following his Super Bowl performance — but she might actually be a fan. People have uncovered on social media that Leavitt actually used the Bad Bunny song "DtMF” during her 2025 wrapped reel on Instagram, which featured some big personal and professional moments for her throughout last year, all to the sounds of the Latin artist and several other song mashups, The Daily Beast reported on Friday. After his groundbreaking Super Bowl performance, Leavitt had a harsh response. “I think it’s very ironic and frankly sad to see celebrities who live in gated communities with private security, with millions of dollars to spend protecting themselves, trying to just demonize again, law enforcement, public servants who work for the United States government to enforce our nation’s laws," Leavitt said.MAGA has been very vocal about their dislike for the award-winning music star — although President Donald Trump did tune in to watch instead of Turning Point USA's pre-recorded Kid Rock show — and several people talked about how they didn't like his performance, including reality personality Jill Zarin, who was cut from an E! reboot of "The Real Housewives of New York City," titled “The Golden Life,” which was slated to begin filming in Florida.On Instagram, several people commented on Leavitt's use of a Bad Bunny song in her own social media. "Bad bunny playing for the recap is the funniest s--- I’ve seen so far this year. And we’re only 19 days in," user Lycette Beatty commented on Instagram. "She lowkey loves him like the rest of us." "Not her using bad bunny on her stuff," another user wrote. "I find it so ironic that all the musicians that are singing in this clip, don’t stand with her. They hate her," one user added. "I thought bad bunny’s music is not for Americans," another user joked. Several other users shared the unbothered and tired Bad Bunny meme, when the artist sat the table with his hand over his face after winning Album of the Year at the Grammy's.
