The Paul brothers, especially Jake Paul, were at the receiving end of intense backlash a few days ago. This followed comments Jake Paul made about Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny ahead of Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show. While Logan Paul, who attended the Super Bowl in person, simply stated he wasn’t excited about the halftime show, the younger Paul brother took things to another level.

‘El Gallo,’ who resides in Puerto Rico, called Bad Bunny a “fake American citizen” who “publicly hates America” and urged a boycott of the performance. The massive backlash the posts invited forced Jake Paul to walk back on his comments. Meanwhile, Logan Paul immediately distanced himself from his brother’s stance, stating Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. And now, ‘The Maverick’ is telling his side of the story.

“Bad Bunny is a world-renowned superstar. He can also be a WWE superstar when he wants. He’s a good wrestler. He can f—king wrestle,” Logan said in his ‘Impaulsive’ podcast. “There have been talks about us wrestling. It’s been floated around. I’ve been candid about the fact that I would love to do that. I think it would be the greatest WWE match of all time. 

“And in that regard, any time I’m asked about Bad Bunny, I think that in the back of my mind. And so it’s like to set that up, and when I’m asked if I’m excited for the halftime show, [I said] no. [I thought] now people are talking about it. However, there is truth to the fact that, dog, I’m a 30-year-old man. I’m not excited about any halftime show, bro.

It’s worth noting that Bad Bunny has made several appearances on WWE in the past. Nonetheless, Logan Paul explained that when his brother made those tweets, his comment was seen as part of a joint movement from the brothers to boycott Bad Bunny.

“It was very circumstantial because I didn’t work myself into a shoot,” Logan Paul added. “My brother worked my work into a shoot.

When asked about why Jake Paul ended up taking a complete U-Turn on his stance on Bunny’s involvement in the Super Bowl LX halftime show, Logan Paul quickly left it to ‘El Gallo’ to answer that question. 

“I’ll be honest with you,” Logan said during the podcast. “I’d love to tell you. I think that is my brother’s story to tell and speak when he’s ready to talk about it. I did feel it was important that I completely negate what he’s saying because I couldn’t disagree more.”

Since the ordeal, Jake Paul has remained rather under the radar. He attended his fiancée’s 2026 Winter Olympics races in Italy, where Jutta Leerdam won a gold medal in the 1000-meter race and a silver medal in the 500-meter race. Paul was also seen crying when Leerdam won her first Olympic gold medal, as he showed his support.

Paul hasn’t fought since Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in two places last November. While there’s still no official word on his next opponent, the stir caused by his comments about Bad Bunny has only heightened interest. Fans will be watching closely to see what he does next. 

Regardless, people in his own stable didn’t support his attack on Bunny.

Amanda Serrano joins Logan Paul to criticize Jake Paul

After Paul’s rant on X, his brother criticized him. But he wasn’t alone. Alongside thousands of others, seven-weight champion Amanda Serrano also criticized her own promoter, Jake Paul. Serrano, who is Puerto Rican and signed to Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, responded swiftly.

“I am proud to be Puerto Rican, and I am proud to be an American citizen,” Serrano wrote on X. “Puerto Ricans are not ‘fake Americans.’ 

She added that while she remains grateful for Paul’s support in elevating women’s boxing, she is not okay with Paul’s claims.

 “I do not agree with statements that question the legitimacy or identity of Puerto Rican people, and I cannot support that characterization. It is wrong.”

Serrano signed with MVP back in 2021, which was arguably their first major signing. And since then, ‘The Real Deal’ has praised and supported both Jake Paul and MVP. Many other female athletes have since joined MVP’s stable, and some of that credit can be given to Serrano’s efforts. 

For now, Jake Paul appears to be taking the blame fairly, given that the comments were his. He has yet to properly address the controversy. Do you believe Logan’s stance is genuine or damage control?
