A few days after the Super Bowl, Acuna talked about his appearance at Bad Bunny’s event. The Braves star, who is represented by Bad Bunny’s Rimas Sports, said that he was invited to the Super Bowl on the day of the performance itself. Acuna also talked about the experience of being in Levi’s Stadium during the event, saying it was amazing to see so many people in the stadium.

Acuna, who hails from Venezuela, was just one of the many Latino and Latina stars who were part of Bad Bunny’s performance. Other prominent stars who joined the Braves star were actor Pedro Pascal, rapper Cardi B, actress Jessica Alba, and Latino boxers Emiliano Vargas and Xander Zayas.

Acuna is coming off an All-Star caliber season with the Braves. Acuna posted an OPS of .935 and hit 21 home runs this season for Atlanta, numbers that fall just shy of his MVP season two years ago. He earned his fifth All-Star award in eight years. Acuna, who’s struggled with injuries in his career, said that he’s feeling good coming into his ninth year in the majors.

This March, Acuna will be representing his home country Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. The Braves star will join fellow Venezuelans Eugenio Suarez, Salvador Perez, and Willson Contreras in their quest to win the tournament.
