Hundreds of people gathered for a Bad Bunny look-alike contest at Mexican restaurant Tacolicious in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District, three days before Super Bowl LX at Levi\u2019s Stadium, where the Puerto Rican singer is set to headline the halftime show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe love the guy. He\u2019s just awesome,\u201d Ramona Soberanis said, who was born and raised in San Francisco. \u201cHe\u2019s humble, he\u2019s an artist \u2014 he\u2019s us [Latinos].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, is coming off three Grammy Awards, including album of the year. In a defiant acceptance speech, the 31-year-old leaned into the microphone and said: \u201cICE out. We\u2019re not savage, we\u2019re not animals, we\u2019re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite sparking outrage from President Donald Trump and his supporters in the lead-up to the big game, a diverse, young crowd showed up outside Tacolicious to demonstrate both their admiration for the singer, and pride in their roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s something special to have a Brown artist who speaks his native language on a worldwide stage,\u201d said Miguel Gallegos, a 27-year-old first-generation Nicaraguan American who dressed up to take part in the event. \u201cAs a child of immigrants, I really love to see people living their culture to share with the world.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family-friendly contest was hosted by Mission Loter\u00eda, an initiative that supports Latino-owned businesses. More than 50 well-groomed contestants wore sunglasses, vibrant button-ups, blazers and kakis, while others drew beards on their faces with markers. Hundreds of spectators flooded the sidewalk, taking selfies and dancing in large groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Bunny, a social media personality, stole the show with his close resemblance to the artist. He ultimately won the contest and a $100 gift card. Still, the night felt like a win to everyone, as young Latinos used the event to celebrate joy and their connection to reggaet\u00f3n.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Nizar Benotmane, 25, who waited in line for more than an hour to enter the competition, the event was a chance to feel seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBad Bunny means representation. He means love. He means peace,\u201d Benotmane said. \u201cFor the Latino community, it means everything to us, he\u2019s making us shine right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
