Paul Brothers Clash Over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance
During Bad Bunny’s halftime show at the 2026 Super Bowl, the Paul brothers had differing opinions. Jake Paul publicly criticized the Puerto Rican artist’s performance during the Seahawks’ victory against the Patriots at Levi’s Stadium.
There was some controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s selection, which sparked debate as his songs are all in Spanish, and he made remarks opposing ICE shortly before the event. Jake Paul expressed his thoughts while attending a women’s hockey match during the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, noting that businesses shouldn’t act without accountability, stating, “You are their profit. Realize that you have the power. Stop this halftime. It features fake American citizens who openly hate America. I cannot support it.”
In response, WWE star Logan Paul defended his brother, saying he appreciated their heritage. He remarked, “Puerto Ricans are Americans, and we are pleased that they are being given the opportunity to showcase their island-born talent.”
Damian Priest, a WWE wrestler and friend of Bad Bunny, expressed gratitude for Logan’s supportive comments, emphasizing the importance of having a meaningful platform. He said, “That’s so kind of you to say that. You have a platform that actually means something to a lot of people. Thank you.”
However, Logan Paul noted that when asked if he was looking forward to the halftime show, Bad Bunny wasn’t specifically mentioned. Jake Paul wasn’t alone in his disapproval; other figures, including former President Donald Trump and conservative commentator Michelle Tafoya, also criticized the performance.
Despite some backlash, Bad Bunny included stars like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin in his halftime show, ultimately delivering a message of unity. He concluded by expressing, “God bless America,” while highlighting Latin American nations and displaying a football that read, “Together we are America.”
This moment aligned with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s vision that artists can unite people through their creativity on such a significant platform.
