Bad Bunny performed at Super Bowl LX in front of a sold-out Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, while millions watched across the globe during the NFL’s biggest night. Now, many wonder whether there was a hidden message behind the number 64 he donned, and what was engraved on the football he held.

Super Bowl LX’s halftime show had no shortage of memorable moments, including Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin joining Bad Bunny, confirming the rumors across social media. Still, another aspect that grabbed headlines and stole the spotlight was Benito’s choice of apparel.

Bad Bunny wore a shirt that read “Ocasio” and the number 64 during his Super Bowl LX halftime show performance. Bad Bunny’s real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, so the name on the back of his jersey was actually his own.

As for the meaning behind his number, theories have emerged around social media. At the moment, the most reasonable hints at Bad Bunny—or rather Martinez Ocasio’s mother, Lysaurie Ocasio, who was born in 1964. Thus, Bad Bunny may have represented his mother in the biggest show of his career.
