Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Performance Under Federal Investigation

Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl halftime show has sparked controversy in the US, with Republican politicians calling for a federal investigation. Donald Trump was the first to criticize the show, followed by representatives like Andy Ogles and Randy Fine, who accused Bad Bunny of inappropriate content and violating television decency standards. Specifically, lyrics from his songs, such as references to sexual acts and drugs, were criticized. However, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided that the show did not violate any rules, as the controversial lyrics had been censored. Despite the backlash, Bad Bunny's performance drew 128.2 million viewers, ranking it as the fourth-largest Super Bowl show in history.
