RM Pam Bondi Explodes on Live TV Over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show: “He’s Not an Entertainer — He’s a Weapon!”
The culture war erupted on Fox & Friends this morning when former Florida Attorney General and staunch Trump ally Pam Bondi launched into a fiery, seven-minute tirade demanding the NFL cancel Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show. Calling the Puerto Rican superstar “not an entertainer, but a weapon,” Bondi accused the league of “pushing a hidden agenda that mocks American values, disrespects veterans, and weaponizes entertainment against patriotism.”
The outburst, broadcast live at 8:12 a.m. ET, has already gone viral—amassing over 28 million views on X (formerly Twitter). Flanked by co-hosts Steve Doocy and Ainsley Earhardt, Bondi pounded the desk, holding up what she described as a 42-page “exposé” on Bad Bunny’s lyrics and alleged political messaging.
“This man isn’t coming to entertain America,” Bondi said sharply. “He’s coming to indoctrinate. His songs glorify drugs, mock police, and spread anti-American propaganda to 130 million viewers—half of them children!” She read from one of his tracks, “Yo Perreo Sola”: “She twerks alone, but the system twerks on her.” Bondi slammed the page shut: “That’s not empowerment—it’s a call to defund law enforcement!”
Things escalated when Bondi revealed what she claimed was a “leaked halftime show script” obtained from a whistleblower inside Roc Nation, the show’s production company. The alleged document outlines a 90-second “decolonization” segment featuring Palestinian and Puerto Rican flags, and a remixed version of Bad Bunny’s “El Apagón” with new lyrics: “They stole the land, stole the power—now we take it back in the hour.”
Bondi fumed, “This isn’t entertainment—it’s political theater on America’s biggest stage! The NFL is letting Jay-Z and his woke empire turn the Super Bowl into an anti-Israel, anti-ICE spectacle. It’s disgraceful.”
When Earhardt tried to respond, Bondi cut her off, vowing: “Cancel this show, Roger Goodell—or we will. Boycotts, lawsuits, congressional hearings—whatever it takes. This is cultural warfare, and we’re fighting back.”
The broadcast abruptly cut to commercial as #CancelBadBunny exploded online, surpassing 10 million posts in under an hour. Soon after, Donald Trump shared the clip on Truth Social, writing: “Pam’s 100% RIGHT! Bad Bunny = Bad for America. NFL is WOKE GARBAGE. #BoycottSuperBowl.”
By 9:42 a.m., the NFL issued a defiant statement through Commissioner Roger Goodell:
“The Super Bowl halftime show celebrates global culture and unity. Bad Bunny embodies the diversity and creativity of our fans. We stand by our decision and look forward to an unforgettable performance.”
Roc Nation followed up with its own message:
“Art isn’t a weapon—it’s a bridge. See you in Miami.”
Social media immediately split down political lines. MAGA supporters launched #NFLisOverParty and began circulating petitions demanding a replacement act, with George Strait leading the suggestions. On the other side, progressives mocked Bondi’s outrage. AOC tweeted: “Pam Bondi wants to cancel a Puerto Rican artist for… being Puerto Rican? This is xenophobia in a pantsuit.”
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny broke his silence with a single post on Instagram: a raised-fist emoji (✊), which drew over 5 million likes in less than an hour.
Bondi’s 42-page dossier—now making the rounds on Truth Social—includes his “¡Viva Puerto Rico libre!” remark at the 2023 Grammys, a $2 million fundraiser for Gaza, and lyrics criticizing “gringo borders.” Critics call it an exaggerated smear; supporters see it as “patriotic vigilance.”
As Super Bowl LX approaches on February 8, 2026, at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, the controversy only grows louder. Bondi is reportedly preparing for congressional hearings, while the NFL shows no sign of backing down.
One thing’s clear: this fight goes far beyond music. The Super Bowl stage has become ground zero in America’s latest cultural battle — and both sides are digging in for war.
