Logan Paul has clapped back at his own brother Jake Paul after he made comments on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Last night, the Seattle Seahawks were victorious over the New England Patriots at the Super Bowl LX, but it was Bad Bunny’s halftime performance that seemed to cause a stir online.
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, took to the stage at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, but despite being one of the most popular global artists currently, the singer has faced backlash since it was announced he would be performing at the event.
The negativity has largely come from Conservatives, especially since Bad Bunny has previously stated he does not perform in English regardless of the occasion.

One outspoken naysayer of the performance was YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul who took to social media to write: “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.
“Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”
Many people pointed out the fact that Bad Bunny is an American citizen as Puerto Rico is an American territory.
Jake Paul also notably has property in Puerto Rico, having moved there in 2021 alongside his brother.
Surprisingly, one of the people to call out Jake Paul was his brother, Logan Paul, who took to X, formerly Twitter, to denounce his comments.
He wrote: “I love my brother but I don’t agree with this. Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”
Others also highlighted that just because an individual is critical of America does not mean they hate the country.
One user went as far to call Paul’s comments racist, saying: “Fake American? What’s our First Lady? A fake American? Yall so racist, just admit it.”
Another annoyed social media user wrote: “They pick and choose. Whomever trump is against, they are against. They’re a bunch of f****** puppets.”
While a third added: “Let’s not pretend that if the Super Bowl was streaming on Netflix you’d be saying this.
“If Netflix wanted bad bunny to perform on your next fight, you’d be promoting it.
“You’re bought and sold just like everyone else.”
