Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show sparked controversy and calls for investigation after receiving criticism from conservatives, including former President Donald Trump. Republican Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee called for an immediate inquiry into the National Football League and NBCUniversal, citing concerns over the show's content.
The halftime performance, which featured the Puerto Rican singer, was met with mixed reactions. While many fans praised the 13-minute set, others, including Trump, were highly critical. Trump described the performance as "absolutely terrible" and "an affront to the Greatness of America," according to Variety.
This criticism echoed sentiments from other conservatives who took issue with Bad Bunny's political outspokenness. The singer had previously condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Grammy Awards, where he won Album of the Year.
Jimmy Kimmel also weighed in on the controversy, slamming Trump's review. "This is a man who paid off a porn star who spanked him," Kimmel stated, as reported by Variety. Jon Stewart also addressed the conservative outrage on The Daily Show, quipping that Trump "thinks Bad Bunny is the one guy in the world that's fluent in Spanish."
Kid Rock also shared his opinion, stating, "I didn't understand any of it" and placing blame on the NFL, according to Variety.
The call for an investigation, led by Rep. Ogles, was made in a letter addressed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The letter expressed concerns about the NFL and NBCUniversal's prior knowledge and review of the performance. The specific details of the inquiry and the potential next steps remain unclear.
