A public disagreement between Logan Paul and Jake Paul is getting attention after comments about Bad Bunny sparked backlash online.

The issue started before the Super Bowl halftime show in Santa Clara, California. According to posts shared on X, boxer Jake Paul told his followers he planned to switch off the broadcast during the performance.

He wrote, “Purposefully turning off the halftime show. Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them). You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime.”

Jake then added a statement that quickly caused outrage online. He wrote, “A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”

Many social media users reacted immediately. Some pointed out that Jake has lived in Puerto Rico since 2021. Others corrected his claim by reminding him that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.

One of the people who publicly disagreed with him was his brother Logan Paul. In a reply on the same platform, Logan wrote, “I love my brother but I don’t agree with this. Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”

Jake later tried to explain his earlier comments. In another post the next morning, he said, “To clarify: I wasn’t calling anyone a ‘fake citizen’ because they’re from Puerto Rico. I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico. I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so.” He added, “But if you’re publicly criticizing ICE who are doing their job and openly hating on America, I’m going to speak on it. Period… If you benefit from a country and the platform it gives you, but publicly disrespect it at the same time, that’s what I mean by being a fake citizen.”

Even though Logan defended Puerto Ricans, he previously admitted he is not a big fan of Bad Bunny’s music. In an interview with Fox News before the game, he was asked if he was excited about the halftime show and replied simply, “No.”

Bad Bunny has spoken openly about immigration issues in the past. The singer criticized the increased presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the U.S. after Donald Trump returned to office in 2024. He also said he avoided bringing his recent world tour to the mainland United States because he feared ICE could target his concerts.

Earlier this month, the artist addressed the topic again while accepting a Grammy award. During his speech he said, “ICE out. We’re not savage. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”

He also told viewers, “The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love, so please, we need to be different. We fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love. Don’t forget that please. Thank you!”

During the Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny celebrated Latin American culture. Several well-known celebrities appeared as guests, including Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Jessica Alba, Cardi B and Ricky Martin. At one moment, he looked into the camera and said, “God Bless America,” before naming more than 20 countries from across the Americas while dancers waved flags from those nations.

This situation shows how quickly online comments can turn into major public debates. Social media makes every statement louder and faster. It also shows how entertainment, politics and personal opinions often mix together. What do you think about this controversy and the reactions from both brothers?
