Super Bowl Halftime Sparks Political Backlash over Bad Bunny Performance
Republican lawmakers seek FCC and congressional investigations into alleged indecent content in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, citing possible fines and license reviews.
- On February 8, U.S. Rep. Randy Fine said he alerted the FCC chair and urged a review of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, calling parts inappropriate.
- The halftime show, framed as a Puerto Rican cultural showcase, included the lyric `Lo que le pasó a Hawái también puede pasar aquí` and had lines altered or muted during the NBC and affiliates broadcast.
- The roughly 13-minute halftime show included a staged wedding, nods to recent projects, and an appearance by Ricky Martin, drawing on Grammy-winning music, as critics called for investigation.
- Despite calls for action, the FCC, NFL, and NBC have not issued responses, while critics share translated lyrics and conservative figures amplify criticism online.
