Shaboozey thinks Bad Bunny is the perfect headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show.

The Puerto Rican rapper will perform at next year's NFL showpiece and the A Bar Song (Tipsy) hitmaker - who performed with Beyonce during the halftime show at last year's Christmas Day Game - is fully supportive of the selection of the Latin superstar.

Shaboozey told Billboard: "I think it's awesome.

"It's really cool. I think Bad Bunny's awesome. I think he's a global superstar, global icon -- and an American citizen. There's no better choice."

He added: "Also, it's going to be crazy. Any time a Bad Bunny song comes on, the whole place erupts."

Some, including US President Donald Trump, have criticised the choice of Bad Bunny as the halftime show performer but Shaboozey believes it reflects the NFL's ambition to "globalise" the sport.

The 30-year-old artist said: "I've noticed the NFL has been trying to expand, and, you know, my brother Myles Smith playing up in Dublin at one of their season openers … they're clearly trying to globalise the brand.

"Football's such a beloved sport -- why not not take it to other places?"

Meanwhile, Shaboozey has teased that his upcoming album will be about "feminism" and that he is hard at work at perfecting the follow-up to last year's record Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going.

He said: "[It's about] feminism, I'll say that. Femininity is probably the best word I can use. There's a story there. It's a concept album, but y'all are the first to know that, to be honest. It's a Western concept album about femininity -- I shouldn't have told you that!"

Shaboozey signed artist Kevin Powers as the first act to his American Dogwood label last month and is keen to get more musicians on board once they "cross (his) radar".

He said of Powers: "He's awesome.

"He's also from Carolina, so I think that ties back into my origins and just the love I have for that region, which I feel like sometimes is a forgotten region -- Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland. I feel like we're kind of left out of a lot of conversations for one reason or another, but I feel like we've started so many trends and started so many things. There's so much history over there."
