Jake Paul sparked controversy on the eve of Super Bowl LVIII, announcing on X that he would intentionally mute the halftime show.
Paul also urged others to do the same, stating it was a way to show “considerable corporations” they “can’t do whatever they seek without consequences.”
Disagreement with Brother
This year’s “Halftime Show” featured rapper Bad Bunny, who used the performance to celebrate his home country of Puerto Rico. The Super Bowl halftime show is a major cultural moment, often drawing tens of millions of viewers and sparking widespread conversation.
Paul described the rapper as a “fake American citizen” who “publicly hates America,” and said he could not support that.
Logan Paul (30) shared his brother’s post on Instagram and stated he disagreed:
– I love my brother, but I disagree with this.
Logan emphasized that Puerto Ricans are Americans and said he is happy they had the opportunity to showcase their culture.

According to Us Weekly, Logan Paul also owns property in Puerto Rico.
Criticized Ice
Bad Bunny’s performance received both praise and criticism. During the show, he brought out several surprise guests, including Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, and Pedro Pascal.
Bad Bunny trosset Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the halftime show was “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst ever.” He also claimed no one understands what the artist is saying, and called the dancing “disgusting,” particularly with children watching.
During the Grammy Awards shortly before the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny criticized the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agency, ICE, in an acceptance speech. He stated that immigrants are not “animals” or “foreigners,” but people and Americans, and urged people to meet hate with love.
