As you’ve surely heard by now, Bad Bunny delivered an epic performance during halftime of Super Bowl LX on Sunday night.
For many viewers, it was the most entertaining halftime spectacle in recent memory.
But others began criticizing this year’s halftime show months ago, when Bad Bunny — real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — was first announced as the headliner.
They complained that the performance would be un-American, even though Benito was born in the US territory of Puerto Rico.
They griped that he performs primarily in Spanish, as though anyone watches the Super Bowl halftime show for the lyrics.
In other words, this is a situation where a lot of people got outraged first, and then worked their way backward to try and justify their furor.
The haters received some valuable ammunition on Monday in the form of a viral photo that appears to show Benito burning an American flag.
“Right here. This is why this fu–wad should be nowhere near the Super Bowl,” wrote one very angry X user who reposted the pic.
Needless to say, a lot of very pissed off patriots soon joined OP in expressing their outrage.
Few of those people could be bothered by the fact that the photo is very clearly fake.
Thankfully, community notes exist, and the post has now been updated with some important facts:
“The image first appeared on a Facebook account that says it publishes satire,” the note reads.
“The image contained a SynthID watermark, indicating it had been generated using artificial intelligence.”
Of course, the original poster still hasn’t deleted the photo, because being outraged is more important than being right.
It’s possible that no halftime show in history has sparked as much controversy as Bad Bunny’s.
As we previously reported, the folks at Turning Point USA were so angry that they prerecorded their own halftime show and aired it opposite the real one.
Donald Trump lashed out at Bad Bunny on his Truth Social platform, calling this year’s halftime show “one of the worst ever.”
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” the president posted, adding:
“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.
“This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!”
How has Benito responded to all of this?
Well, it seems that he’s mostly just shrugged it off and kept living his best life. One thing he hasn’t done (as far as anyone knows) is burn an American flag — but don’t tell that to the AI-happy hate mongers.

Last year, Jill Duggar was the victim of a car accident.
She has now marked the one-year anniversary of that scary incident with an update.
One of the details that she is disclosing is that her children were in the car — and the family is still healing after hospital visits and physical therapy.
Some details are still under wraps — probably, fans believe, because she’s suing.
The details of the accident sound scary (and many fans can relate)
Late last week, Jill Duggar took to her Instagram page to share a distressing update alongside a selfie in a hospital gown.
“1 year ago today we were hit from behind,” she revealed, describing a vehicular collision.
Jill detailed that they were struck “by an unlicensed driver at full speed while we were stopped at a red light.”
This was not just her and her husband, Derick Dillard.
10-year-old Israel, 8-year-old Samuel, and 3-year-old Freddy were also in the vehicle.
“We had all of our kids in the car with us,” Jill revealed.
“And it was so scary,” she described, “and shook us all up.”
Jill wrote: “We thank God that things didn’t turn out worse.”
She admitted: “But due to the wreck, this last year has been crazier than we initially anticipated.”
Jill shared: “It’s been full of lots of scans, physical therapy, chiropractic and doctor appointments for all of us as we continue to evaluate things.”
Healing from a collision like this can take years
“I’m so thankful for God’s continued grace,” Jill then expressed.
“And,” she concluded, she will continue to “pray that this next year brings continued healing!”
If you have ever been in a family car crash, you know that it’s a little different.
You wonder about babies with their fragile bodies that have limited shock absorption compared to adults.
Parents fret over injuries to their children — and may discover that the shock of the impact has hurt them in ways that they don’t even notice at first.
As Jill suggested in her post, the pain from a vehicular collision can last for days, months, or even years — even with access to medical care.
Human bodies are resilient. But the impact of thousands of pounds traveling at high speed and then abruptly stopping, transferring that kinetic energy into flesh and bone? It can be life-altering.
Some people will find that parts of their bodies, particularly necks, are never quite the same after an impact. Especially if they were rear-ended while stationary.
The good news is that cars are much better at absorbing more of the kinetic force than they were generations ago. The reason that impacts crumple the exterior of cars, totaling them, is because an “unbreakable” car frame would transfer more of the force directly into the passengers.
Unfortunately, the bad news is that a car slamming into you is still a car slamming into you. You don’t want that for you or for your children.
They’re suing, right?
As you can imagine, commenters spent the weekend flooding Jill with support and sympathy.
Several cracked jokes about how the family is certainly suing the other driver.
(Derick may have stepped down from his job as an attorney, but he does have a law degree — even if he doesn’t handle his own case, which he should not, he’d have known immediately to advise Jill to document everything but post nothing until they were ready)
Obviously, we here at THG are not aware of any of the facts of the case. We have only Jill’s post to inform us.
But it is our hope that everyone makes a full recovery.

Shortly after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home, multiple media outlets reported that they had received ransom notes demanding millions in Bitcoin for her safe return.
Now, we have new details regarding the notes, the demands, and the deadlines issued by the people who claim to have abducted the beloved mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie.
We learned last week that the alleged kidnappers issued two deadlines: one came and went on Friday at 5 pm, and the other is sometime today.
(For security reasons, many details of the notes are being kept secret, but TMZ founder Harvey Levin, who received one of the letters, revealed that today’s deadline would carry “serious consequences” if it were not met.)
Now we know that the authors of the ransom note are demanding $6 million in Bitcoin.
It’s safe to assume that the authors of the notes (it’s important to bear in mind that we don’t know if they’re actually holding Nancy) expect the funds to be deposited today.
But according to a new report from TMZ, the account is publicly viewable, and its balance stands at $0 with no transactions recorded.
Former CIA member and FBI special agent Tracy Walder told Page Six today that he believes the author of the note “definitely knows what they’re doing.”
“This person probably practiced and thought it out. I don’t think someone woke up and was like, ‘This is what I’m going to do,’” Walder told the outlet, adding:
“This is someone who said, ‘I am going to sit down. This is how I’m going to encrypt the email, this is the VPN I’m going to use.’ They put some plan into this.
“Not everyone knows bitcoin is an easier way to be untraceable. This person clearly has knowledge of these things.”
Asked if he believes the kidnappers can be caught, Walder noted that the chances of an arrest increase with each new piece of communication:
“I think anyone could be caught,” the former agent says.
“The question is how long does that take? You have that added sense of urgency with a potential life being in jeopardy. I do think the problem is the length of time. The more tech savvy you are adds an extra layer of difficulty.
“The more communication this person has adds another layer of difficulty because this person has gone dark and only released two ransom notes, they’re not communicating a lot. They are doing that on purpose,” he said.
Walder noted that each new email “opens the FBI to be able to trace that.”
“I think I do feel they will be caught. I just wish it was now. That’s the problem,” he added.
So the bad news is that the alleged kidnappers appear to be professionals. The good news is that investigators are working with state-of-the-art technology in their efforts to apprehend them.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

You do not generally “gotta hand it” to either of the Paul brothers.
But on Super Bowl Sunday, the two butted heads — publicly — over the “controversial” Bad Bunny Halftime performance.
Jake’s abhorrent take, calling one of the planet’s most popular musicians a “fake American citizen,” went viral.
Even his brother, Logan, called him out.
We’ll delve into Jake’s terrible tweets after we show them to you
This is an all-too-common Jake Paul L. But it’s also a rare Logan W. That’s something.
“Purposefully turning off the halftime show,” Jake announced in a Sunday, February 8 tweet.
“Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences,” he declared, explaining: “(Which equals viewership for them).”
In the pretense of speaking truth to power, Jake wrote: “You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime.”
He concluded by whining: “A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”
We will delve into Jake’s tweets because the terrible views that he’s expressing need examination.
But first, we must grimly report that he wasn’t done yet.
“The problem with my tweet is the word fake being misinterpreted,” he claimed in a follow-up tweet.
“He’s not a fake citizen obviously [because] he’s Puerto Rican,” Jake acknowledged. “And I love Puerto Rico and all Americans who support the country.”
He then claimed: “Moreso Bunny is fake bc of his values and criticism of our great country.”
Yes, he managed to make it worse
“To clarify: I wasn’t calling anyone a ‘fake citizen’ because they’re from Puerto Rico,” Jake tweeted in yet another post.
“I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico,” he acknowledged, claiming: “I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so.”
Jake then griped: “But if you’re publicly criticizing ICE who are doing their job and openly hating on America, I’m going to speak on it. Period.”
“That’s the same reason I called out Hunter Hess,” he continued.
“If you benefit from a country and the platform it gives you, but publicly disrespect it at the same time,” Jake went on, “that’s what I mean by being a fake citizen. And I agree love is more powerful than hate. Love America.”
There was a fourth tweet from Jake, but let’s first delve into what his famous brother had to say.
“I love my brother,” Logan began his own tweet.
“But I don’t agree with this,” he shared, quote-tweeting Jake’s original post.
“Puerto Ricans are Americans,” Logan correctly affirmed.
He then expressed: “I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”
The problem with his post was the malice behind it, not the ‘geography fail’ that he implied with the first tweet
We promised to address Jake’s nonsense, so we will. Bypassing that Bad Bunny is an American and a US citizen, which is a basic piece of information about Puerto Rico that we hopefully do not have to explain.
One, Jake framed his initial tweet as if calling upon “the people” to “speak truth to power.” In reality, Jake’s abhorrent politics — the malevolence behind those who put on an “alternative” Halftime show — is the reigning power right now, and does not challenge power.
Two, and perhaps worst of all, Jake defended “ICE who are doing their job.” No. Just doing one’s job — “just following orders” is never an excuse. ICE agents arguably abdicated their personhood the moment that they joined, and they certainly became enemies of the American people. Criticizing them is our moral duty.
Three, Hunter Hess is an Olympic athlete who admitted that he had reservations about representing America given the current horrors of our times. Jake and others of his ilk pitched a fit because, you know, they are part of the horrors of our times.
Speaking of the horrors of our times, it’s worth noting that Jake has been rubbing elbows with the likes of JD Vance and Sam Altman. A true who’s-who of who’s-ew. So none of this should come as a surprise.
In the morning on Monday, February 9, Jake once again tweeted a message on the same topic. This time, he struck a different tone.
“Guys i love bad bunny idk what happened on my twitter last night ?? wtf” he wrote.
This appears to be a joke that is also an attempt at damage control. It’s neither funny in context nor is it convincing.
Maybe Jake should stick to gluing on his beard-wig or whatever he does to pass the time in between receiving brain damage in the ring.
But it would be nice for him to grow and change and become a good person. It’s possible. But is it likely?

While the game itself might have been a bit underwhelming — unless, of course, you’re a Seattle Seahawks fan — Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show pulled out all the stops.
The highly anticipated performance received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
But of course, there were plenty of haters who made up their minds to be miserable about the whole thing before Benito even hit the stage.
And one of those haters was the President of the United States.
Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump blasted the halftime show as “one of the worst, EVER,” bashing Bad Bunny for performing in Spanish and bizarrely claiming “the dancing is disgusting.”
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” the president posted, adding:
“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.
“This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!”
Trump went on to lash out at one of his favorite punching bags — the media — anticipating that the halftime show would receive positive reviews.
“There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
To his credit, Trump was right, and the halftime show did receive mostly positive reviews.
But that’s because one of the most popular artists on the planet took to the stage and displayed his prodigious talents.
As many have pointed out, Trump was expected to praise Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show.”
Instead, he revealed that he even he didn’t tune in to see Kid Rock lip sync his way through a pre-recorded performance.
The reviews for that halftime show were considerably less enthusiastic.
In fact, most viewers seemed to agree that Kid Rock was the only one who put in a worse performance than Drake Maye last night.
In short, it was a rough night for people who are always calling themselves patriots.

Is it over?
Just a few months ago, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs welcomed their first child together.
It looks like Super Bowl weekend — or perhaps the game itself — saw them split.
What happened? The theories are wild.
Is it over?
In November 2025, Cardi B gave birth to her fourth child.
She has not revealed this son’s name.
However, he was her first child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
Now, in the wake of the Super Bowl, she and Stefon are no longer following each other on social media.
That usually indicates a breakup. And that’s not the only clue.
Most of us know Stefon as Cardi’s most recent boyfriend and as the father of her youngest son.
Many also know that he is a professional athlete by trade. A football player, specifically.
What most outside of the real of sports fandom may not realize is that he plays for a team called the New England Patriots.
Sound familiar? It should.
They were the losing team during the Sunday, February 8 Super Bowl.
Did Cardi B dump him for losing the game?
If you know anything about the Super Bowl aside from how most of the ads were bad to the point of being dystopian, you probably know that the Patriots lost.
The team does not enjoy a positive reputation and its owner is widely reviled, so many were heartened to see that another team, the Seattle Seahawks, trounced them 29-13.
Though Cardi wished Stefon and his team “good luck” in a tone that some felt indicated that there were relationship troubles afoot before the game, some speculate that this defeat prompted the split.
It would be incredibly silly to break up with someone because they didn’t win a sports game. There are so many things in this world that matter. Sports does not number among them.
However, it’s a reasonably funny meme to suggest that Cardi only wanted to date a winner and dumped the father of her actual child over a Super Bowl defeat.
(#AD) — OOP, Not Stefon Diggs on the field with Pree… and yes, that Pree aka Offsets alleged mistress. 🫠 pic.twitter.com/Rx2am2f6Cd
— Tasha K (@UNWINEWITHTASHA) February 8, 2026
There is another theory — that Cardi dumped Stefon because Tasha K had exposed his alleged ties to Pree, who was (also allegedly) Offset’s mistress during his erstwhile marriage to Cardi.
We have to emphasize that we cannot confirm anything of the sort.
Sightings of Pree near the team could have meant that she received an invite from almost anyone involved with the team.
(Stefon and Pree were reportedly friends before he met Cardi, but that is neither here nor there)
We have to emphasize that, historically, Tasha K has not been a 100% reliable source of information in relation to Cardi. She does not like Cardi and is not shy about that. So we’ll take that with a grain of salt.
It’s worth noting that Cardi left early
She didn’t just leave the Super Bowl early. Cardi shared that fact, posting on social media of her driving home while listening to Bad Bunny.
One final theory behind the possible split is that Stefon either didn’t propose when Cardi had hoped, proposed and it didn’t go well, or was planning to propose only if he won, and Cardi left after seeing that he was going to lose.
Yes, Stefon did suggest that he might propose to Cardi — only after winning. But it’s unclear if that was serious.
Whatever may or may not have happened, there’s little reason to believe that this alleged split is permanent.
Cardi has gotten back together after a breakup before. Perhaps she will again. Or, maybe, she’ll tell the world why she and Stefon are no more — or clarify that they didn’t really break up. We’ll see.
