Jake Paul Slams Bad Bunny's Halftime Show
9 Feb
Summary
- Jake Paul called Bad Bunny a 'fake American citizen who publicly hates America'.
- He urged fans to turn off the halftime show to protest corporate actions.
- Senator Tommy Tuberville also opted out of watching the halftime show.
Jake Paul, a prominent YouTuber and boxer residing in Puerto Rico, expressed strong disapproval of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance. Paul took to social media platform X to encourage viewers to "turn off" the halftime show. He argued that collective action, specifically reducing viewership, would demonstrate to major corporations that their actions have consequences.
Paul further escalated his criticism by calling Bad Bunny a "fake American citizen" with a perceived animosity towards the United States. This statement came shortly after Bad Bunny received both positive and negative reactions for his remarks regarding "ICE" at a recent awards ceremony. Bad Bunny had previously cited concerns about fan detentions by ICE agents as a reason for not booking U.S. tour dates.
Joining Paul in his dissent, Senator Tommy Tuberville stated he would avoid the Super Bowl halftime show, which he referred to as the "Woke Bowl." Tuberville indicated he would instead watch an alternative program. Brett Favre, a former NFL player, also mentioned tuning into a different halftime event, noting unfamiliarity with Bad Bunny's work.
