Despite living in Puerto Rico, Jake Paul will not be supporting his neighbor during the halftime show.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer denounced Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show about two hours before kickoff and implored fans to realize that they “have the power” to use their voices.
“Intentionally turning off the halftime show. Let’s come together and show big corporations that they can’t do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them),” Paul posted on X. “You are their profit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime show.”

Paul then called Bad Bunny “a fake American citizen who publicly hates America.”
“I can’t support that,” Paul continued.
The artist received both praise and backlash for his “ICE out” comments at the Grammys last week. Bad Bunny said last fall that he decided to do his residency shows in his native Puerto Rico and did not reserve any dates in the United States for his tour for fear that ICE agents would detain his fans.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Alabama, said he will avoid Bad Bunny’s performance in the Woke Bowl.
“And we have Bad Bunny, or Bad Rabbit, at halftime. I’ll be watching the (Turning Point USA) halftime show. “It’s just unfortunate that we’ve gotten to this point,” Tuberville said.
Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre also said he would tune into Turning Point USA’s “The All-American Halftime Show,” saying he didn’t know who Bad Bunny was.
Earlier this weekend, Paul defended ICE agents after watching Olympic hockey with Vice President JD Vance.
