Jake Paul, the boxer and social media influencer, is once again in the headlines—this time off the ring—following his recent remarks about global superstar Bad Bunny.
Hours before the Super Bowl halftime show, Paul posted a message on X urging fans to boycott Bad Bunny’s performance. He criticized the choice of the artist for the worldwide event, calling him a “fake American citizen who publicly hates America.” Paul added: “Turn off the halftime show. Let’s unite and show big corporations that their actions have consequences. You are their real power.”
The post immediately triggered a wave of criticism. Many social media users pointed out Paul’s contradictions, noting that he lives and fights in Puerto Rico, just like Bad Bunny, and benefits from the territory’s tax advantages while criticizing an artist deeply connected to the island. Even his close circle was affected: his brother Logan Paul publicly distanced himself, stating that he did not share Jake’s view regarding the performance.
This episode confirms one thing: Jake Paul has mastered the art of grabbing attention, whether in the ring or on social media. His return to boxing, following jaw surgery, is highly anticipated by fans, ensuring continued media focus on his next moves.
