Jake Paul and Logan Paul Split Over Bad Bunnys Super Bowl Halftime Show

The Paul brothers offered sharply different reactions to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, taking to X on Sunday night (Feb. 8) as debate over the show continued to dominate social media.

Taking over Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., the Puerto Rican pride-filled performance — which also included surprise appearances from global stars such as Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Karol G and Cardi B —largely drew praise across social media from collaborators, fans and fellow Latin music artists.

Others were more critical of the show, including Jake Paul, who weighed in via social media and encouraged viewers to turn off the broadcast and framing the move as a protest against corporate decision-making tied to viewership.

“Purposefully turning off the halftime show,” Paul wrote on X. “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 continued, “Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”

The comments quickly sparked backlash online, including a public response from his brother, Logan Paul, who said he disagreed with Jake’s stance.

“I love my brother but I don’t agree with this,” Logan Paul posted. “Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”

Earlier on Sunday, President Donald Trump also criticised the halftime show in a lengthy social media post, calling the star-studded performance “absolutely terrible,” further amplifying the online conversation around the event.

Bad Bunny has not publicly responded to the Paul brothers’ comments as of publication. A representative for Bad Bunny did not immediately return Billboard’s request for comment.
