Jake Paul turned Super Bowl Sunday into a self-inflicted spectacle and the backlash was swift, loud, and unforgiving. About 90 minutes before Super Bowl LX kicked off. Jake Paul sent out what may go down as one of the most viral and damaging tweets of his public career. Announcing that he would be “purposefully turning off the halftime show” performed by global superstar Bad Bunny. Paul framed his decision in overtly political terms.
“A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”
