Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance is making headlines. A viral Facebook post claimed that the FCC allegedly fined the artist $10 million for "vulgarity and crotch-grabbing."

The post also quoted FCC commissioner Joseph Barron saying that the Puerto Rican can not "hide" behind his language. Apple Music and the NFL would reportedly be fined as well.

However, the news of Bad Bunny being fined by the FCC is fake. There are no official reports to suggest the same. Currently, Brendan Carr is the chairman, Anna M. Gomez and Olivia Trusty serve as FCC commissioners, not Joseph Barron.

The post was made by the Facebook page, America's Last Line of Defense, and they mention in their bio that all the news they share is fake. In the reply section, they continued to troll Facebook users, saying there would be a "button" for future Super Bowl performances so the President could stop it immediately if he did not like it.

"The flagship of the ALLOD network of trollery and propaganda for cash. Nothing on this page is real," the page stated.

Congressman Randy Fine said that he is sending the FCC a letter protesting Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance

Randy Fine uploaded screenshots of the Puerto Rican artist's lyrics, which were translated into English, and said that people are not even allowed to say the F-word on live television.

He pointed out that if the musician sang the "disgusting and pornographic filth" in English, he would have been fined massive amounts and his performance would have been pulled from broadcasting.

The Congressman said that he was going to send a letter to the FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, and request him to take "dramatic action" against NBC, the NFL, and Bad Bunny.

US Representative Andy Ogles bashed the artist on X, calling his performance "pure smut." Andy said that there were alleged explicit displays of gay sexual acts as well as mentions of "unspeakable depravities" in the songs' lyrics.

Ogles attached his request to the Energy and Commerce Committee, where he asked them to investigate the NFL and NBC. In another tweet, he said that the artist's performance was "conclusive proof" that Puerto Rico should not be a state.

"I am requesting that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC immediately for their prior knowledge, deliberate approval, and facilitation of this indecent broadcast. American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence," Ogles wrote.

Meanwhile, Republican Representative Mark Alford said on Feb. 10 that House Republican is already investigating Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance.

President Donald Trump also shared his thoughts on Truth Social as he wrote that Bad Bunny's set was "absolutely terrible." He said that there was supposedly nothing inspirational, and it did not represent the US's "success, creativity, or excellence."
