U.S. President Donald Trump said he will not attend the Super Bowl in February and that he is 'against' singer Bad Bunny and the band Green Day, the artists selected for the halftime show. 'I'm against them. I think it's a terrible choice. I don't like them,' said Trump, noting that he would go if 'it were a little closer.' Trump attended last year's American football final in New Orleans, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. Puerto Rican Bad Bunny has been openly critical of Trump, especially his anti-immigrant policies. Like Green Day's lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, who last week expressed his support for protesters in Minneapolis against immigrant raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state. 'All he does is sow hate. Terrible,' Trump said from the Oval Office to The New York in an interview published this Saturday. However, the Republican leader said that the musicians — critics of the president — are not the reason he will not attend the game on February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
