Logan Paul Publicly Calls Out Brother Jake After His Post About Bad Bunny
Logan Paul publicly disagreed with Jake Paul's controversial take on Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime show.
Bad Bunny delivered an incredible halftime show at Super Bowl LX.
He became the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline NFL's showpiece event as a solo act.
The Puerto Rican star breezed through an eight-song set, including 'Tití Me Pregunto', 'MONACO' and 'Die With a Smile' - featuring Lady Gaga.

Despite his electric performance at Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium, US president Donald Trump slammed his set and called it a 'slap in the face'.
Jake, who suffered a broken jaw in his knockout defeat to Anthony Joshua in their December fight, joined Trump in condemning Bad Bunny.
He claims to have turned off Bad Bunny's halftime show and urged Super Bowl LX viewers to do the same.
'The Problem Child', who lives in Puerto Rico and promotes one of the island's top fighters (Amanda Serrano), also called the music artist a 'fake American citizen'.
On X, Paul 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. Realise you have power.
"Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that."
Paul's post about Bad Bunny drew widespread criticism from fans and critics alike, including his own brother, Logan.
Shortly after his post emerged online, Logan disagreed, writing: "I love my brother but I don’t agree with this."
He added: "Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island."
Amanda Serrano hits back at Jake Paul's 'fake Americans' claim after Bad Bunny post
Jake has been promoting Serrano since 2021 when he signed her as the first athlete to his newly formed Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).
He has helped Serrano secure a series of big fights, including a clash against Katie Taylor on the undercard of his bout against Mike Tyson.
Despite the role he has played in her boxing career, she hit back at his controversial statement, refuting his suggestion that Puerto Ricans are 'fake Americans'.
On X, Serrano wrote: "Tonight I am here where I’m supposed to be in my beautiful Island with my people celebrating and watching with awe how well Benito represented us and our culture
"I am proud to be Puerto Rican, and I am proud to be an American citizen. Puerto Ricans are not 'fake Americans'. We are citizens who have contributed to this country in every field, from military service to sports, business, science, and the arts, and our identity and citizenship deserve respect.
"I would not have the opportunities I have today without the support and belief that Most Valuable Promotions and Jake Paul showed in me, and I will always be grateful for the role they have played in helping change my life and in elevating women’s boxing. At the same time, I want to be clear: I do not agree with statements that question the legitimacy or identity of Puerto Rican people, and I cannot support that characterisation. It is wrong.
"I fight with the pride of Puerto Rico and represent my flag every time I step into the ring. I will always stand with my people, with respect for who we are, and with pride in where we come from.
"I will never change and will forever be a Proud Boricua."
Jake later took to social media to clarify his post following Serrano's statement.
"The problem with my tweet is the word fake being misinterpreted," he wrote on X.
"He's not a fake citizen obviously bc hes Puerto Rican and I love Puerto Rico and all Americans who support the country
"Moreso Bunny is fake bc of his values and criticism of our great country."
