"In a letter to the FCC chairman Brendan Carr imploring him to launch a probe, Florida Republican congressman Randy Fine wrote, "What Americans witnessed during the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny was despicable and never should be allowed to be shown on television again... In America, our laws are not suggestions, and no matter what foreign language you speak, you must comply." Fine specifically cited the line "el perico es blanco" from Bad Bunny's song "NUEVAYoL," which is a reference to cocaine."
"The main crux of their arguments centers around the lyrics of songs such as "Safaera" and "Yo Perreo Sola," which Bad Bunny performed at the Super Bowl. In their uncensored form translated to English, they contain words and lyrics like "pussy," "horny," "eat your ass," and "fucked off." The only problem is that Bad Bunny is either censored or omitted these lyrics from his performance at the Super Bowl."
Several Republican congressmen called for an FCC investigation into Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, alleging potential violations of broadcast decency standards. Their complaints focus on translated lyrics from songs like "Safaera" and "Yo Perreo Sola" that contain explicit sexual language, although those explicit lines were censored or omitted during the performance. Florida Rep. Randy Fine urged the FCC to probe and cited the line "el perico es blanco" referencing cocaine, asserting laws must be followed regardless of language. Missouri Rep. Mark Alford also plans to speak with FCC leadership and described the reported lyrics as disturbing. At least three Republicans advanced investigative calls.
