"Internet users called out influencer Logan Paul as a hypocrite even as he publicly split with his brother, Jake Paul, to defend Super Bowl LX halftime performer Bad Bunny, praising the show as a celebration of Puerto Rican talent after his brother branded the artist a fake American. As the Puerto Rican superstar took over Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, joined by surprise appearances from Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, and Cardi B, social media lit up with praise for the performance's unapologetic embrace of Latin identity."
"Taking to X during the broadcast, he wrote: Purposefully turning off the halftime show. 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. He then escalated, adding: Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that."
Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show with surprise appearances from Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, and Cardi B, and the performance emphasized Latin identity. The show drew praise across social media for showcasing Puerto Rican talent and unapologetic cultural pride. Some conservatives, including Jake Paul and former President Donald Trump, criticized the performance, with Jake Paul urging viewers to turn off the broadcast and calling the performer a "fake American." The criticism prompted backlash online and a public rebuke from Logan Paul, who stated that Puerto Ricans are Americans and welcomed the spotlight on island talent.
