Fans are sparing no comments after an FCC report cleared Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl set of misconduct. The agency’s investigation was almost guaranteed, considering the contrasting views that loudly trailed Bad Bunny’s NFL halftime show – before and after the event.
For many who approved the Puerto Rican’s selection to headline the event, FCC’s clearance vindicates the artist, contrary to many prior accusatory claims. But a reasonable number of other fans are approaching the situation with unique lenses.
Fans Lash Out at Bad Bunny Supporters After FCC Clears Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show

Grammy award-winning artist Bad Bunny got himself lots of fans – and foes – immediately after the NFL announced him as the headline act on the Super Bowl LX halftime show. Being the first Latino solo artist who’d take on the event, it was clear many Americans and NFL fans would be excited about his selection.
Yet, many others felt selecting an artist who sings mainly in Spanish could be abominable in an English-speaking country. Beyond that, other conservatives queried Bad Bunny’s explicit lyrics and political perspectives.
For instance, during his Grammy Awards acceptance speech, Bad Bunny called out ICE for its immigration policies at a time when many liberals were also unhappy with the organization’s clampdown on foreigners. According to the singer, he excluded the US from his 2025/26 tour over fears ICE agents would target his supporters.
And when the Super Bowl LX halftime show eventually came, controversies trailed the performances, for concerns that were unsurprising to conservatives. Consequently, after calls from political agents and widespread criticisms, the FCC investigated the artist’s set – but found him “not guilty.”
Considering the hullabaloo that preceded the event, it’s clear why many fans are excited about this clearance. However, other fans think the NFL’s choice boiled down to which artist could bankroll their paycheck.
X user @awfulannouncing celebrated the clearance by tweeting:“Turns out, the people who claimed Bad Bunny had used explicit language during his halftime performance were morons.”

Meanwhile, @SLG_1212 shares a unique perspective to the situation:“The morons were the ones, likely you included, who pretended BB mattered to anything but NFL’s $$$.”
@OscarJA23 thinks:“The people who defend and like BB are morons, that’s different.”
@RaySharradh adds:“Anybody think the NFL, the producers, Bad Bunny, and everyone down to the human trees didn’t KNOW that MAGA would try this?”
@walterfootball says:“Or they couldn’t understand what he was saying”
@RobertoAndres adds:“Anyone who speaks Spanish knows that he didn’t use explicit language.”
Many Bad Bunny supporters would be relieved he’s been cleared of many accusations concerning the show which raked in the fourth-highest viewership in history. However, considering his vocal political perspectives, it appears this artist would remain at the center of some controversy for the time being.
