Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) believes Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance wasn’t just gross, it was “illegal.”
Fine hopped on X to share his opinion on the controversial show that has the Internet divided. While one side saw a celebration of love and culture, the other saw the vulgar lyrics and a desecration of American tradition. Fine was so disappointed by the performance that he’s asking Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr to take “dramatic action” against everyone involved in the airing of the halftime show.
“You can’t say the f-word on live TV. Bad Bunny’s disgusting halftime show was illegal. Had he said these lyrics — and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous. Puerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules. We are sending [Carr] a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the [NFL], [NBC], and ‘Bad Bunny.’ Lock them up,” he wrote in a statement.
He even added some translated lyrics to illustrate his point, but critics say the words, while part of the songs, were not included in the performance.
(** WARNING: Extremely vulgar language)
X users responded to his call for action:
Exactly…the FCC needs to take action!

The bad words were bleeped out or he didn’t actually say them.( he would just pause) Only people that actually know the songs can fill in the blanks.

I said the same thing tonight after reading those lyrics…. An ABSOLUTE DISGUSTING, VILE and perverted song.

The aired performance stayed within bounds—no violations occurred. Halftime shows routinely self-censor to avoid fines, and this one followed suit.

New low for America. Tried to conceal it with a foreign language

If this is true, it is beyond disgusting!!! How was this even allowed? Think about all the young ears that heard and understood those lyrics.😡 NFL leadership is a total disgrace.

They circumvented the rules by allowing him to sing it all in Spanish.

The lyrics were definitely X rated. There is ZERO possibility that an American artist would have been able to get away with the lyrics.

Someone needs to ask the commissioner if he approves of this. Read these lyrics to him word for word.

In a strange move, the artist at the center of this controversy appears to have wiped his Instagram account following the performance. According to Fox News, Bad Bunny’s account boasts over 50 million followers but was wiped clean, including unfollowing everyone.
Look:
While it’s unclear why such a dramatic move would be made after a high-profile performance, some believe it is part of a rebranding effort that might be revealed in the future.
