Logan Paul is at odds with his brother, Jake Paul, over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX performance.
After Jake, 29, said on Sunday, February 8, that he would not be watching the halftime show, Logan, 30, publicly called out his brother via X.
“Purposefully turning off the halftime show,” Jake first wrote in an X post on Sunday.
He continued, “Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them) … You are their benefit. Realize you have power.”
“Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that,” he wrote, referring to Bunny, 31, who is Puerto Rican. (Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States, and Bunny is a U.S. citizen.)
Logan reposted Jake’s post and wrote, “I love my brother but I don’t agree with this.”
“Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island,” continued the WWE star, who owns a property in Puerto Rico.
Bunny earned high praise for his performance Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots to claim their second Super Bowl trophy. The rapper brought out a host of surprise guests, including Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Jessica Alba and Pedro Pascal.
But not everybody was impressed with the star’s performance.
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” President Donald Trump wrote via his Truth Social account on Sunday. “It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.”
“This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!” Trump, 79, continued. “There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD.”
Just a week before the Super Bowl, Bunny criticized the Trump administration’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
“We’re not savage. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans,” he said during his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album. “I want to say to people, I know it’s tough not to hate in these days, and I was thinking we get contaminados [contaminated].”
“The hate gets more powerful with more hate,” the musician added. “The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people, we love our family and that’s the way to do it. With love. Don’t forget that, please.”
