Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny is set to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. While the announcement has generated widespread buzz, not everyone is on board. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and his brother Logan Paul have publicly taken a stance against the performance, calling for a full boycott.

‘The Problem Child,’ who lives in Puerto Rico presumably to take advantage of the tax benefits, took to X earlier today to address his followers, urging them to unite behind his cause. “Purposefully turning off the halftime show,” he wrote. “Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences.”

Jake Paul made it clear that his goal is to impact “viewership” numbers, which he believes matter most to corporations. “You are their benefit. Realize you have power,” he added. “Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.” Meanwhile, Logan Paul echoed a similar sentiment ahead of the game. 

Appearing briefly in an interview with Fox News, he was asked whether he was looking forward to Bad Bunny’s performance. His response was short and dismissive: “No!” Now, the question is—why did Paul call Bunny a “fake American,” since Paul’s nickname is ‘El Gallo de Dorado,’ meaning ‘The Rooster of Dorado,’ a direct reference to where he lives—Dorado, Puerto Rico? 

The rapper made “ICE out” comments at the Grammys last week, something that was both praised and criticized. He had even revealed that he had opted to do his residency shows in his native country and didn’t book any U.S. dates on his tour because he feared his fans would get detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. 

Jake Paul hasn’t fought since he got his jaw broken in two places by British boxer Anthony Joshua in November last year. He recently showed up to support his Dutch speed skating fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, before the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Games. Regardless, Paul’s comments come after he recently took a bold stance. 

Jake Paul defended ICE Agents after Olympic Hockey with JD Vance

The YouTube boxer defended ICE agents while attending an Olympic hockey game in Italy alongside Vice President JD Vance. Paul, who is in Italy supporting his fiancée, speedskater Jutta Leerdam, shared his views on X after the game. “If you don’t like ICE, then you can’t call 911 when you’re in trouble,” Paul wrote. 

“If you don’t respect law enforcement agents, then you shouldn’t depend on them,” Paul added, voicing support for the officers. He later took aim at singer Billie Eilish following her pro-immigration remarks at the Grammys. “When Billie Eyelash gets her home broken into, it’s not gonna be f— ICE I can promise you that,” Paul posted. 

It was in response to Eilish’s statement that “nobody is illegal on stolen land.” He added, “Wait, technically she can’t get broken into because she stole the land lolololololol.” Earlier, Paul also criticized Olympic skier Hunter Hess for expressing “mixed emotions” about representing the U.S. Paul and Vance attended the U.S. women’s hockey team’s 5–0 win over Finland.

It’s clear on which side of the political spectrum Jake Paul stands. But the bigger question is—should he be making such remarks, risking his selling power not only back home, but also in the States?
